  • PRIDE TAKEN A FALL!

    I pride myself on being so bright, intelligent and on the ball for my age. Just arrived at the Boundary Mill, Sheffield. Drove without mishap along the M 1 but missed the turning off on the A road so wasted 5 minutes turning back. Parked safely and headed for the cafe in the outlet. AskedContinue…

  • WHICH IS THE REAL ME?

    I have two personae connected to my make up look and depending on what mood I am in and who I want to impress. One is the Joan Collins of Barnsley look. Heavy eye shadow and mascara coupled with bright lipstick and big hair and my best more colourful clothes. The other is the littleContinue…

  • WHERE DID I PUT IT?

    IS THIS A PROBLEM OF AGING? From a young age I would lose my purse, often to find it down the back of the sofa. I used to frequently leave my coat in the pub and sadly my youngest son has inherited this trait! Then I acquired a car, so my car keys were addedContinue…

I queued at the counter, selected syrup tart with a little pot of cream and waited whilst my CappuccinoContinue…

  • The Coffee Bar Challenge

    I went into Barnsley Town Centre the other morning to do a bit of shopping and have a look round the market. I had decided to have a coffee and be adventurous and choose a new venue. I felt i had been getting into a bit of a rut favouring familiar places, mainly tea shops.Continue…

  • GET A PET!

    If you now have an empty nest or maybe living on your own I can’t recommend too highly the advantage of having a pet and it’s very good for mental well-being. Perhaps a dog or a cat, maybe even a bird. Just in the last few months I know of three instances where taking onContinue…
