Meet Ugg Our Not-So-Feral-Anymore Cat
Meet Ugg, Our Not So Feral Cat And Her (no longer) Feral Kittens... I have written before about the fact we would love another feral cat to set up home around our wood piles.

Totally Disillusioned…
All Change...In More Ways Than One! I had planned a different, more upbeat post for today, but after taking my son to one of his therapies I am feeling rather peeved and a touch disillusioned to say the least.

It’s Okay To Admit When Things Are Hard Going
Life Isn't Easy...Not for any of us. We all have times when we find things hard going, but how often do we put on a brave face and pretend that things are all hunky-dory? Why do we feel that we can't admit when we are not coping well or are finding things hard going? It's never easy to admit ... [ Read More ]
