Reflections of a Sussex Girl in the Peak District.
Nothing says 'spring is here' more to me, than the sweet sight of newly born wrinkly lambs skipping and gamboling among the myriad of yellow dandelion heads in the Peak District fields. Oohs and aahs emanate from my mouth on a daily basis as I drive past this field and that, and see those little…
This little quote came up on my phone this morning and totally lifted my spirits. I couldnt help but share it. Love Alison x

When I moved to the Peak District there were four wildlife inhabitants that I was hoping I would get to see. They were A Badger, An Owl, A Hedgehog and A Mole! I've been really fortunate to unexpectedly see the first three but the Mole, well due to his insistance to live underground, he or…

Ah : Used to express a range of emotions including surprise, pleasure, sympathy.

She's here! Well very nearly. We could do with a little more sunshine to be really sure that she has arrived, but there are plenty of other signs to let us know that 'spring' is on her way. The snowdrops have sadly finished and are hanging their weary heads low, they have been so pretty…

“There’s no way to be a perfect mother and a million ways to be a good one.” – Jill Churchill Mums are wise and are good at knowing what to say. Mums are steadfast, always there, even if it's just to sit by our sides and let us know that everything is ok. Mums are…
I have a routine now when I get one of those dreaded but half expected phone calls from the supported living complex where my son Simon sometimes, 'not so' happily resides. I hear the familiar voice of the care worker on the phone as she tentatively explains the latest predicament, and sense the hope in…
