Happy New Year Mum! ‘Happy New Year Queen.’ Or should I say ‘Happy 77 Years In Total?’ You smashed them all from 1943 to 2021, and I was so fortunate to be there with you for the ride of your life Mum, well for a big chunk of that time. How lucky was I? ‘I …
Hi Mum, ‘Oh Queen, it’s 4 in the morning.’ I know, I woke up and I feel wide awake, you know like when you set a ridiculously early alarm coz there’s a taxi picking you up to take you to the airport in the dark. I’m that kind of wide awake… I’m ‘wired’ awake. ‘Oh …
Mum and I got onto the topic of food again. ‘How do you mean, ‘lesbian cuisine?’ She slurped. ‘I don’t know love….what do you think lesbians like to eat?’ ‘Well these are definitely lesbian biscuits for a start Mum.’ ‘Don’t be daft, here do you want a plate?’ She nudged, dusting the crumbs heavy handedly …
Morning Mum, ‘Morning Love.’ It’s that funny old day again today, you know, December the 27th, the one after Boxing Day, the day before Charl’s Birthday, 2 days before our Grace’s and 3 before mine. It’s 4 days before New Year’s Eve and 5 before New Years Day. ‘It is Love you’re right.’ It’s always …
Hi Mum, Well, it’s Boxing Day, we made it. ‘Hello my Love, well what did I tell you?’ You were right, I didn’t just make the most of it, I genuinely enjoyed every single minute. It wasn’t even an effort, it was a delight. Did you see I set a place for you at the …
Dear Frankie, I’d like to raise a toast to you, well not just a slice of toast, some muffins, pittas and pancakes too. I’d like to salute you with a baguette and a tiger loaf. You are probably wondering where I’m going with this but stay with me, it’s worth me noting down this observation …
Dear Frankie, Before things take off to a stratospheric level, I wanted to write to you and say a huge ‘Thank You.’ Thank you for your constant belief in me and my abilities to navigate us through my very unusual Life Style Business. I hope it teaches you valuable lessons as I know you are …
Dear Frankie. The reason I leave love notes in your lunch box is because, I’m not always there to hug and squeeze you in person and I miss you when you’re at school. The reason I let you come in my bed sometimes with ten teddies and a plastic doll that digs me in my …
Happy Birthday Mum! Look at your little face, you’d only had 3 birthdays up until then. I assume you are here at nursery with your mates. It’s not your birthday in the photo or indeed your party but I’m winging my imagination to try and recreate one. Look at you all playing outside, where …
Dear Frankie, I’m not your friend. I don’t want to collect LOL dolls and I don’t want to wear an Elsa dress when I watch Frozen 2 at the cinema. I want to wear my comfy jeans and a jumper, preferably without a bra. I don’t want to drink Fruit Shoots, Capri Sun’s and Apple …
