One for the Parker faithful
The Children of Eve
Fyneshade
Have you ever had an affair? Personally, my nerves couldn’t take it, all the clandestine meetings and coded texts. Plus, I feel like a ‘proper’ adulteress would own tights and wear matching underwear rather than cartoon socks and sports bras. Also, I’m a creature of habit, I like the same skin to covet, a lover’s... Continue Reading →
The Land of Lost Things
I have to say I'm not the luckiest of folk; I'm the wrong side of 40 with bilateral kidney stones, osteoarthritis, a chequered history when it comes to mental health and my Dances with Wolves name is 'Drinks for Comfort',. However…two exceptional things have happened in the past decade; first, I was lucky enough to... Continue Reading →
Blue Peter
Okay…so it's been a while; dear god I think I've just written my future Tinder bio! At least I wouldn't be one of those irritating Jesus pushers who manage to cram red flag phrases like 'trustworthy' and 'god fearing' into their character limit. Although thanks to an emergency tooth extraction giving the impression I consult... Continue Reading →
Shelf Isolation
So, how've you been? If you're anything like me, you're hanging on by a very fine thread during this relentless pandemic (like those irritating random bits of elastic that start to fray from your knickers after too many washes) to me it’s become the viral version of Bane from Batman “You merely adopted the dark,...

Grown Ups
T&Cs: right, let’s get the ‘small print’ out the way with first, I’m a ma-hoo-sive fan of Miss Keyes so naturally you may think I’m not exactly an impartial referee to judge her latest book Grown Ups I can assure you I’ve never been any good at acting (I was always a tree or some...

The Break
Okay, so it’s been a while. I won’t excuse myself like Ross Gellar and splutter “we were on a break” but I must admit that my heads been a shed for the past few weeks (okay months) but honestly, I was thinking of you the whole time, and I thought it was high time I... Continue Reading →
A Book of Bones
Now firstly, we’ll start with the small print, ‘they’ do say honesty’s the best policy and I wouldn’t want you to come away feeling disappointed like when you try to return a top only to discover the retailer in question only gives out store credit…cheapskates! So, with that in mind, holds up hands apologetically I’m... Continue Reading →
Never Judge A Book By Its Cover
Let’s face it, as advice goes, to never judge a book by its cover is up there with the classic ‘don’t look down’. Hey, it’s okay, we’re all friends here, I’m not passing sentence. I too am guilty of exercising this prejudice. Judging a book by its cover is the literary equivalent of tinder, we... Continue Reading →
Nerds
Fear not, I’m not about to launch into an evangelical tirade concerning the sugar content of the popular confectionery treat (although in the interests of full disclosure, whatever they pack in those miniscule globules of goodness is enough to see me clean the entire house in under an hour). Rather I wanted to have a... Continue Reading →
