Book group bloke ban (Rousse)

Alternative wedding activities (Rousse)
As the guests arrived for my sister J’s wedding, I chatted to my young cousins in the kitchen. This was more interesting than making small talk with middle-aged men in dark suits. I also wanted to avoid getting into arguments … Continue reading

Fried eggs and a friendship fractured (Rousse)
My friendship with Belle was over, and it was all my fault. I invited two extra women that I barely knew to visit, even though Belle was meant to be my guest of honour. At the time we were also … Continue reading

Avoiding the hen man (Rousse)
Not long after I had accidentally broken a dozen eggs in a box, I spotted BEX cleaning out the chickens. He called me over to request a meeting. I said that I would see him later, but I was lying.

Bedroom and bathroom makeover with Moomins (Rousse)

From danger in the Scottish hills to a ski-ing trip in Surrey (Rousse)
