I have been posting a lot on Instagram recently. Good for you, I hear you remark. Well no, not odd photos with a bunch of two-word witty captions – although I do love a minimal-but-still-highly-amusing-because-the-photo-does-all-the-work caption. No, see I have actually been pouring my heart out on Instagram of late. I’ve been celebrating my highs,… Continue reading Confessions of a Single Mother: Instagram, Acting and Unicorn Moments

Grandad was poorly this weekend. He spent one night in hospital. One night, but it felt more like five as we had no idea how serious his chest infection was, or what else might come of it. My Father will be 75 this year, and not a young-75. Not a still-goes jogging/swimming/tennis-playing, or some other… Continue reading Dear Daddy, Stay the MotherFucking Course.
