Great Taste Awards

I entered my Cannabis and Pink Grapefruit marshmallows. Because I know they taste great. But, let’s be honest, you’re a but unsure aren’t you? They sound weird. Like something you maybe fancy ‘trying’ but not ‘devouring’. And I needed a little bit of validation for my CBD marshmallows. I needed to be that pushy pageant mum for their sake.

Why i'm not  scared of change

Why i'm not scared of change

The last few months have really made me re-think what I consider scary. I now casually say things like ‘I think I would be scared to go on a bus’ or ‘ I would just be a bit scared to go the toilet in a pub’. I have whole conversations with my family where the word ‘scared’ is just bandied around as an adjective. What I think I mean is ‘apprehensive’ or ‘nervous’ but I’m committed to the drama of scared. And I’m not sure that’s a good mind set to have.

why vanilla shouldn't be embarrassing

why vanilla shouldn't be embarrassing

What’s the most embarrassing thing you’ve done? You know the creeping hot sweat, bum clench embarrassment that make you freeze when walking down the street or shudder quietly in the shower. I often get caught up in a spiral of rumination remembering incidents from primary school assemblies or mistaken identities to every night out ever. Urgh.

the shop around the corner

the shop around the corner

I spent many years working in shops. And I love them. I love creative window displays, chatting to customers, satisfying piles of folded jumpers, a finger spaced rail and that specific type of boredom you have when things are really, really quiet.

Not one of those 'Dads'

Not one of those 'Dads'

This week I thought I’d write this blog in the style of my Dad- but no one wants a blog that’s written on the back of an envelope that also contains several anecdotes from yesterday’s The Times obituaries. Or do you? You’ll probably love it.
Can I get you a wee drink whilst you’re sat there? Hey, it’s 5 o’clock somewhere…etc.
