I just spent two days in a castle with chandeliers dripping from the ceiling. Prince Charming wasn’t in attendance, although there was a Daddy Blogger who had ripped his shirt off by the end of proceedings, a brave thing to do in a room full of women! Here’s some of what I learnt. Slow blogging… Read more »

So I Decide To Go To A Conference
You know you are getting old when you put your back out trying on a new pair of trousers.

Playing Favourites

Blogging on the Road
My name is Janine Fitzpatrick and I have a problem. There is a possibility I may be addicted to the internet. On arrival in the picturesque Tumbarumba I discovered I had no mobile phone coverage. This of course means I can’t hotspot my phone to my ipad and create my blogging masterpieces which are such… Read more »
