The class instructor seemed completely oblivious to the word, blonde pony tail swinging […]

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.

This was the first ever blog post I wrote on BHW (almost 3 years ago) – It’s seemed to have got lost in the move so I thought I’d repost. “Gentrification seems to be the buzz word of the moment but as a born and bred working class Londoner what does it actually mean to me? It […]

I’ve run out of toilet paper. Goodbye socks! This is my current Facebook status. For those who have already been fooled by a status similar to this, you know it’s part of the latest Breast Cancer Awareness game.

It’s no secret that I love all things related to reading and teaching so when I was asked to review an educational children’s book I immediately cleared my Sunday afternoon schedule. 2pm Nap In this time of voter apathy and some of the lowest voter turnouts since WW2, many have wondered how we engage our […]

I should probably state very clearly at the beginning of this blog I love being a mummy and how it has changed my life and of course my little one means EVERYTHING to me. Now that I have made that perfectly clear, lets cut to the chase.. Common to most Mums To Be, I savagely devoured […]

Diaries of a Gardening Novice January My father was an amazing gardener, from Callaloo to Corn he grew all types of local and tropical treats in our garden in the deepest darkest depths of Peckham, London.
