Ooookay people… I soooo want to be a positive voice in the wake of the COVID 19 pandemic which, for someone with a glass half full attitude to life and a big mouth shouldn’t be too much of a problem… so why am I struggling to find my voice? It’s not as though I haven’t […]

The ‘Nearly Spring’ Blog
Ooookay people…for those of you supposing that the above title should read ‘The ‘New Year’ Blog and not as it does, a quick explanation might be in order. First up I have always thought that an outgoing year that has been a ‘bit of a bitch’ so to speak will not suddenly be changed by […]
So here it is…Merry Christmas!!!
Ooookay people…here we are again staring down the barrel of yet another ‘Season of Goodwill’, though nowaday’s the meaning of that well-worn phrase is increasingly lost on me. Before I type another word I should, perhaps, admit to being a fully paid-up member of the Green party, but this doesn’t mean that I have forsaken […]
Follow the yellow book’s road?
Ooookay people…time for some of my books to venture out into the world or at least my tiny part of it in the Greater Manchester area, all by themselves. I am going to leave 5 books over the next 5 days in 5 different locations to be gifted to whoever finds them. Each book will […]
Twas a big un’ people… got the pics to prove it!
Ooookay people… I’m gonna say this real quick…in a few short days, I am going to be 60 years old. There I said it. Despite seeing those words in print and the images that accompany them… I can’t quite believe the truth of that simple statement. There is, after all, plenty of other evidence to […]

The Wedding Blog
Ooookay people… Saturday the 21st September was a day on which the sun shone brightly and watched by our closest family and friends Craig and I started out on our journey together as man and wife. It is only now, some weeks later, that we have finally arrived at a place of reflection. There is […]
The funny thing about being a widow 7 weeks and 1 day before your wedding?
Ooookay people…those of you who know me will be aware that I am a fly by the seat of my pants type of gal which, by the way, have not reduced in size as I had hoped they might before the 21st September. So with 7 weeks and 1 day left for wedding preparations, I […]
Heady-Days
Ooookay people… the 10th of July 1957 fell on a Wednesday that particular year and Kenneth Dominic Manning was one of 32,500 babies born on this date. Had he lived beyond the 14th August 2016 today, he would have been 62 years, 0 months 0 days and, at the time of writing, exactly 9 hours […]
When life has other plans
Ooookay people…given my very low boredom threshold you could be forgiven for thinking that my silence here of late, might indicate that this website malarkey had become the latest casualty of my errant concentration, and my tendency to spend inordinate periods of time in shoe shops. In fact I was handed an unexpected five week […]
