Hi Mum. ‘Hiya Love.’ Week today. ‘Is it Love? It can’t be, gosh it’s coming round fast.’ Did you see me Christmas shopping today Mum? ‘I did Love, I saw you in Boots.’ I always wear boots, especially this time of year. ‘No Love, Boots, the big one opposite Primark and I saw you in …
As I slurped my tea and crunched my frangipane I pointed out another self revelation to my patient Mother. ‘Lesbians can’t just go to the hairdressers and have a trim.’ I revealed. ‘How do you mean love?’ ‘Our hair goes on a journey of self discovery all on it’s own. It has to fight for …
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 …

There will always be that one child that misses their cue, forgets their lines or projects their voice louder than everyone …
Dear Frankie, Nothing you’ve ever done is naughty. Let me repeat that. Nothing you’ve ever done is naughty. The reason I know this is because I know for a fact that children aren’t naughty. How do I know this as fact? The answer is because all children are born innocent. I’ve always been interested in …
‘Dear Daniel.’ I need your help!!!! Look what’s happening!!! Lots of protective and concerned parents like yourself feel the same way. They are advising their children that standing up for themselves means becoming violent too. My little girl was strangled by a child in her class and do you know how I taught her to …
