I've been away for a few days with my sister and best friend as a bit of a hen do before I get married next month. I have had THE best time, just talking and going to the beach, visiting different towns, shopping, eating and drinking delicious food and wine. It’s been a real tonic.…
We had dinner tonight with friends and one of them said something that really made me and Mr M think. They've got two kids and the mum is battling a bit at the moment with her daughter who has hit her teenage years. They seem to be arguing a lot, and the daughter thinks her…
