Feel Good Movies

What movies can take you from down to dancing around the room in less than two hours? I’m a sucker for musicals.  I used to want to be a dancer.  Not ballet – I wanted to be in Fame.  I didn’t actually want to be famous, I just loved the kind of music that makes […]

This extract is from a bit later on in But I Said Forever (read the first extract).  Brittany’s nanny, Carly, has shared her concerns that Phillip (Brittany’s husband) may be having an affair.  Brittany is certain this is nonsense, so goes to Phillip for reassurance.

Actually, She’s a Girl

A little rant today about gender stereotyping. My going-on-three-year-old daughter frequently gets mistaken for a boy.  I’m not overly bothered by this, but every now and then it gets to me.  Because it’s all based on expectations about how girls should look. She has short hair (not pixie, but bobbed to ear-length).  There are three […]
