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 …

Any in depth discussion or casual …

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 …
Hi Mum, It’s Sunday, I’m sitting here typing to you with my right thumb. Who would have thought it? I’m balancing a tiny computer called an iPhone, in my left hand and tapping away at a flat screen with letters of the alphabet in my interchangeable choice of font. Do you remember when we …
