    Was there ever a time before Scapegoat Britain? Part 1
    Was there ever a time before Scapegoat Britain? Part 1

    At first it seemed ridiculous to believe that people would believe that all of England’s problems were the result of the EU and of course those “terrible immigrants”.   We laughed about it in the staff room.  The same staff room where for the past year, disgruntled colleagues have  viciously blamed and attacked the Head […]

    Scapegoat Britain
    Scapegoat Britain

    Utter disbelief. The results of the London mayoral elections lulled me into a false sense of security.   A belief that the British could not be fooled by racial propaganda or scapegoating. I was fooled by common consensus in social and wider circles and the general sense of bewilderment at the hypothetical nature of the Brexit “political” arguments…and […]

    What would you do if you had two homeless people living inside your gas cupboard?
    What would you do if you had two homeless people living inside your gas cupboard?

    What would you do if you had two homeless people living in your gas cupboard?  Stepping outside of my front door this morning, I was greeted by a shiny Maserati sparkling in the early morning light.  As I drifted off, wondering which “new Brixton” resident was trying to muscle in on parking this time, the […]

    Polite ways your friends tell you they think your baby is fat.
    Polite ways your friends tell you they think your baby is fat.

    How many times have you had to politely smile, nod your head or feign interest when the village (well meaning friends and family members) comment on your baby’s weight?

    The unapologetic mummy
    The unapologetic mummy

    A tantrum in public is a WMD in a toddler’s arsenal in the battle of wills against mummy.   The other day My Little Toddler (MLT) and I were meeting friends at the South Bank.  What is normally a jovial 15 minute bus ride became an arduous expedition:  a groundhog of a journey spent explaining and apologising. MLT was exhausted […]

    Nude parsnip and pear soup
    Nude parsnip and pear soup

    It seems competition is the only way to get me to take pictures of my food and post them on the net.  This time it was the allure of my soup being made in bulk and delivered to my work place (a primary school) on the soup scooter.. oh the mayhem 🙂 ! A simple […]

    That time I almost burst into tears on the treadmill..
    That time I almost burst into tears on the treadmill..

    Music pumping in my ears, feet pounding away on the cross trainer, I gaze up from the flashing dashboard to the row of televisions hanging from the gym ceiling.  Ivory poachers in Gabon, a posh gardener in a tight squeeze, the usual random something or nothing on London Live all bid to grab my attention with […]

    Hello Fresh! Hello discount!
    Hello Fresh! Hello discount!

    I’m not the best chef in the world.  This is no secret. But I have definitely improved since we subscribed to Hello Fresh almost a year ago.   Besides saving money, waste and cutting down on Take Aways Tuesdays (…Wednesday’s et al) a quite unexpected benefit has been my husbands willingness to experiment more in the […]

    The N Word
    The N Word

    If you were at a gym class and the song being played repeatedly used the N word, would you say something? Walking into my body conditioning class this morning, I was greeted by the N word blaring out of the studio speakers.  The class instructor seemed completely oblivious to the word, blonde pony tail swinging […]

    Brixton Bids farewell to Bowie
    Brixton Bids farewell to Bowie

    Exit the tube station, politely avoid free newspapers and exhausted rat racers, navigate the Shibuyaesque traffic lights, then walk along the side of Morleys department store. The mood changes. It’s a quieter. Quiet enough to hear Rebel playing. Dark enough for the candles to illuminate the graffiti messages adorning the Iman cosmetics posters on the […]

    Life lessons Vs Resolutions
    Life lessons Vs Resolutions

    It’s that time of year. But I don’t believe in new year resolutions. I believe in Looking back. It’s that time of year. I am reliving the times of frustration, sadness, overwhelming happiness and achievement over the past 345 days. Looking forward. I start to plan the future and digest the life lessons that I […]
