Observations

March – A review

Sea Palling - Paula Battle - March 2018

Snow, rain, more snow, no snow, so much weather talk. Work, teamwork, housework, homework. Stress in myriad forms. GSCE revision, bullying, parenting, ageing. Considering the reality of impending menopause and what that means, questioning mental acuity; keeping emotions in check;

Being 45

I’ve been 45 for a little while now. Long enough to fully digest the fact. Not long enough to accept that I’m staring into the abyss that is my late forties and beyond, and all that entails.  I had planned

Three things about Barcelona

How did I get to this age without ever visiting Barcelona? That was my prevailing thought during our three-day stay. I love Barcelona; properly love it in the way you love a thing that you know immediately to be flawed

This morning the 5yo gouged the face of the 4yo. Luckily we’d recently cut off all her nails so all she left were red marks that quickly faded. An hour later, en route to that there London, the 4yo retaliated,
