Things my mother has taught me, Vol. 1

Friday, December 09, 2011


1. That poetry can be funny.

2. How to make a mean macaroni cheese.

3. That singing along to a good song is one of life's great joys.

4. The importance of small acts of kindness.


5. How to rock a sheepskin coat.


Happy Birthday, Mum

    Happy Birthday Kirsty's Mum!

    I'm pretty sure the stuff your mum taught you will extend to several weighty tomes, she sounds like a cool lady x

    Aw Kirsty, you always get it just right!! When you sent me Lauren's photos, I thought of that one of me with my Afghan coat - might actually have been on my birthday in 1969 or 70! Maybe we should get one for Smidgen? See you tomorrow. Love youxx
