Nearly Wordless Wednesday …. You never know quite what you’re going to find in a pumpkin ……. A witchypoo …….or ….. …this amazing catbat, or, even scarier still …….. …..a whole bunch of Mummybloggers! Lovely Laura, Jo, Erica and me, snapped by Tara at Port Aventura.
I don’t usually go in for recipes and stuff, for the simple reason that I’m not a great cook. Last night, for example, I decided to make ratatouille, even though there was not a courgette, pepper, onion or bit of aubergine in the house. Yes, it was basically a can of tomatoes, with herbs. Actually, …
1. Opened the door to the postman the other day. He handed me a package with something of a flourish. ‘Dulwich Divorcee. Is that your company name ………..or is it a statement of intent?’ he said, with what can only be described as a twinkle. I knew it was the moment to come out with …
A weekend in pictures: The lovely Jo Beaufoix, Laura ‘Dos’ Driver and beautiful Tara Cain with the Dragan Khan ride in the background, where it was destined to stay throughout the weekend (phew!). This ride, the Chine Teacups, may look sedate, but note naughty Erica’s little pixie smile …..she was about to start twirling like a …
There can be no sight more absurd than five tipsy mummybloggers trying to hide behind a teeny tiny cart in the dead of a Barcelona night, as they keep watch on a spooky hotel. Unless it’s the sight of those very same mummybloggers shrieking their heads off and running as fast as their little legs …

I’m a bit worried about sex. Not for myself, you understand – though I did get a dirty tweet today on Twitter, yikes – but for Child One. Since arriving in the UK three years ago, she has ‘done’ sex as part of the national curriculum every year. Presumably every time, this is er, gone …
Interesting news from Australia, where a Government-sponsored report is saying that children under the age of 2 should not watch telly. My immediate, cheap, thought is that, in the land that gave us Neighbours, probably the Government should ban everyone from watching telly. But actually, I love Neighbours and so do my girls. I do …
In a pathetic and blindingly obvious attempt to cheer myself up in the midst of ghastly domestic anguish which, these days, I am too noble to blog about directly, I bring you my Divorce Top Ten. It’s a list of all the terrific advantages of life as an EWAG, or ex-wife and girlfriend. For any …
In times of trouble, there’s nothing more comforting than a yummy read, and Alexander McCall Smith’s The Dog Who Came In From the Cold is just that (though I have to say typing all those capitals is pretty exhausting! From now on I’m calling it simply Dog). I’m not sure how many installments there will …
