It’s Christmas time – a time when shoppers queue to find spaces in car parks and shops are full of people buying festive gifts for their nearest and dearest, and probably a few people they only ever speak to at Christmas, while recordings of Noddy Holder and co play in the background. It’s a time…

This week I’ve had the pleasure of visiting a little gem of a shop in The Cotswolds. Since the launch of my book I have come into contact a host of people with whom I might not otherwise have crossed paths, from bookshop workers to readers. Among them were Jennie and the team at Shalom…

November is often the time of year when we express surprise at the speed with which time passes. As festive preparations begin in earnest, comments of “I can’t believe it’s nearly Christmas again” and “Where’s the year gone?” become a staple part of day-to-day conversation. Today, for a different reason, I’m reflecting on the past…

Before this year’s Baby Loss Awareness Week, I called on you, the people of the internet world, to help me choose a charity to support through the sales of my book. In a Twitter poll, the overwhelming majority of you voted for Baby Lifeline. And so it was that the cause was selected as my…

There is really only one thing I can write about this week. This weekend marks the centenary of the day the guns fell silent to mark the end of World War One. Across the country, events are being held, quite rightly, to commemorate this momentous event – along with all the men and women who…

People often ask me how my book is doing and, if I’m honest, it’s a question I tend to answer with a vague, “Yeah, it’s doing okay.” The truth is, I don’t really know what to say because, in all honesty, I don’t really understand the question. And I don’t know whether the same question…

Autumn is here, a time of crisp golden, orange, red and brown leaves, of wrapping up warm against the cold outside, and of snuggling up by the fire indoors. Fires give light and heat. They warm hands and they warm hearts. They give a reassuring glow to a room and they help keep things crisp…

This week is Baby Loss Awareness Week (#BLAW2018). It’s a time for raising awareness (excuse me while I state the blindingly obvious) but also a time when those who have lost children in pregnancy, through stillbirth or death in infancy (or, indeed, a combination of the three) may be prompted again to think about their…

Sometimes in life we get restless. Sometimes we look around at all the opportunities there are in the world, all the places to go, careers to hold, houses to live in, then we look around at our lives and we start to want. Maybe we want more, maybe we just want something different, but we…
