The icons who have left us
My mum tagged me in a Facebook post this morning, which was noting that it's been 30 years to the day that Karen Carpenter died.I'm too young to have been a fan of the Carpenters whilst Karen was still alive, but at some point in my teens I heard her voice and instantly fell in love.

Talent versus practise
In arts and sports, we often talk about "talent" and how some people have it and some people, quite simply, don't. Is it therefore impossible for someone without "talent" to ever be as good as someone who does, no matter how much effort and practise they put in?I find that a very depressing notion.

To my mum: an apology
I was a horrible kid. We fought all the time. I remember standing in the garden and screaming at the top of my lungs how much I hated you.As an adult, I can look back and see how wrong my actions were and how I had no right to lash out at you, or get angry at you when things weren't going right in my life.

Book review: The First Foods Book
This post is a little off topic. I know I've reviewed books on here before, but they've all been YA, fantasy, or both!However, as regular visitors know, I've been somewhat distracted by the newest addition to my family.

Inside Out
Warning, there may be spoilers ahead!One thing I love about having children, is getting to go and see kids' films. Although, I have to admit, I was a bit indifferent to Inside Out. Sure, I'd seen the trailers.
