Pray for Ishmael

April 12, 2008

March 8, 2008

Happy New Year!

January 3, 2008

Well, 2008 is here, and the chance to dream and make plans. We were hoping for snow in London today, but in vain. I love snow – I’m due to visit Moscow at the end of the month, so perhaps should be careful what I wish for! We spent New Year’s Eve in central London, [...]

Happy Christmas!

December 24, 2007

I’m writing this on Christmas Eve before nipping out to the High Street – I’m a last minute person by nature, and although for once I’ve managed to get most of Sue’s presents, it wouldn’t be Christmas for me without a last dash round the shops! It’s been a busy year, with a mix of [...]
