I really like my house. It’s the ideal magnitude, and we have the patio to sit in when the weather is good. Dennis is the one with the green fingers, I do not show any ability in that domain, but I adore lounging around on a hot day with an aperitif and a slice of [...]

There is little I love more than cooking a big repast. It is great if our kids come round and I prepare a feast for everybody, it makes me extremely happy when I see them having a good feed. Let’s be frank, I suspect that if I didn’t cook for them they’d starve! Obviously everybody [...]

Our grandkids are brilliant, but they’re hard work. Wee Laura is five, and she’s a little bit wilful. She doesn’t like to be bossed around, and if she does not feel like doing something she’ll make it very clear. In my day, kids realised that they were obliged to behave, or they’d get a good [...]

There’s nothing I like more than cooking a big repast. It is wonderful if the kids pop over and I make a feast for everybody, it makes me extremely pleased if I watch them eating properly. Let’s be frank, I suspect that if I didn’t make the occasional meal for them they’d go hungry! Obviously [...]

The grandkids are fabulous, however they are exhausting. Little Zara is four, and she’s a stubborn child. She does not like to be told what to do, and if she doesn’t want to do something she will make it very clear. In the olden days, kids realized that they were required to do as they [...]

When I was redecorating my sitting room I couldn’t make a decision about what sort of sofa to purchase. I checked out plenty of leather sofas in a range of styles, but it turned out to be incredibly difficult to pick one. Ultimately I ordered my boyfriend to simply decide on my behalf, and he [...]

I can’t be sure if my partner and I will endeavour to buy a flat together. It is tremendously hard to get on the property ladder nowadays, and we don’t have a great deal of cash to use as a deposit. Maybe we could begin by getting someplace to rent, and that might afford us [...]

My partner works as a welder, and he frequently has to work late. Thus often we don’t meet for a long time, because I work in the evening. That has a good side, though, since it offers us some space and makes seeing each other more exciting. It’s so simple to get into a routine [...]

My boyfriend has a job as a pipe-fitter, and he regularly has to stay late in work. So sometimes we do not meet for a while, since I am working evenings. That has a good aspect, however, because it gives us a little room and makes seeing one another more special. It’s too simple to [...]

I got together with my boyfriend on vacation in Tenerife. It had been a hedonistic fortnight of sunshine and entertainment, and I must admit that both of us had been somewhat tipsy when we got together, therefore I found myself somewhat worried that I would not recognise him once we organized to see each other [...]
