A Blog Is For Life, Not Just For Christmas
I just realised my 2 year blogging anniversary just passed without me even realising! Like many other bloggers, I started blogging in January. It’s a great time to start as your head is full of ideas after the break from working life. But blogging isn’t just a fad or a toy that can be picked […]
Wait, Is Rey’s Name Not Really Rey?
Now, as far as outlandish fan theories go, the idea that a character with a deeply mysterious past might not be using their real name isn’t exactly what anyone might term ‘insane’.

Gardening Is The Best Medicine For The Mind
January is the time of year when, for us gardeners, a small ray of hope breaks through the grey skies. Not long now, I think, until I can start chitting my potatoes. A few early daffodils have bravely poked their necks above the soil. I know the snowdrops will soon be on their way. Especially […]
Is This Outfit a Relationship Deal-Breaker?
Since the nominations for the 2016 Academy Awards were announced a couple of things have happened. For one, the main nominations, for yet another year, were overwhelmingly white. As a result, the continuing cry by minority Hollywood stars for more diversity is full force once again. Two stars have even gone far enough to call […]
