One thing I really didn’t like in my previous job as a teacher, was that so much of what I had to do never changed. Lesson planning, yearly planning, teaching to criteria, teaching the same subjects at the same levels. I always knew that every Monday at 9.00am I... read more
It seems appropriate for a Sisterhood Stories post, that I talk about new client and friend, Breathing Space. I first heard about this holistic retreat centre for women from a lifestyle shoot client. Then, a therapist, Sarah Morgan, who delivers retreats at the centre... read more
I was having a lovely chat with my very lovely friend, Catherine this morning and she mentioned that the Aspire team were having a day to paint their office, reorganise it and turn it into a truly creative space. Well, I didn’t want to tell Catherine that for me... read more
Istanbul is one of the largest cities in the world, with a third of its population living in Asia, and the remainder, on the other side of the Bosphorus, in Europe. It’s hustling, bustling and totally alive. One day, I had a little bit of a disagreement with the... read more
Gosh – well I’m combining two posts today – the 2nd part of Travels with My Camera, along with this week’s edition of the Sisterhood Stories. The last few photographs were a demonstration of the amazing Fuji X100 in action – and this... read more
I had a week in Istanbul – a city with a riot of colour and noise and people and water and amazing buildings. It’s a city where you take your life in your hands when you step onto a zebra crossing, but a city where you’re so pleased you crossed over... read more
This is a very short and hopefully sweet post as by the time you are on your way around The Sisterhood circle I will be enjoying the warmth and colour of Istanbul! It’s been an extraordinary couple of weeks since the last Sisterhood post – I have a... read more
I haven’t done a ‘falling in love’ post for so long! But today the sun is shining and for the first time in what seems longer than half a year, I’ve had my balcony doors wide open and moved a table and chairs out to a little used, but very... read more
So I went off with my friend to give her some moral support (actually, I went to eat cake), delivering a chat and activity at a vibrant local branch of the WI – and to my surprise, found myself joining! The companionship and friendship of women has always been... read more
Here in the UK we are still in the depths of Winter, even though it is officially Spring. I can’t believe that at the end of March I am still lighting fires and getting the message ‘ice alert’ on my car’s dashboard display. Luckily though, work... read more
Today is the official start of a new season as the Spring equinox in the northern hemisphere dictates that our days get longer and our nights get shorter. In just over a week, it will be Easter – a holiday which I always associate with gentle sunshine, the start... read more
It was Mother’s Day here in the UK on Sunday. I had planned to drive to the Lake District for a long awaited couple of days at Aspire, but circumstances dictated otherwise. So instead, my children – the ones at home, and my mother insisted I come out for... read more
It feels as though our long winter is finally on it’s way out. It’s still chilly – but the sun breaks through and for the first time in months we felt like walking the dogs on the beach. I took my own camera (as opposed to one I use to earn my... read more

Today I wanted to talk a little more about groups and giving…. and friendship and support. The Sisterhood Stories blog circle is one such small group… every week we endeavour to support each other by writing a post and linking to the next lady in the... read more
