Allison in Asturias

So, it’s been a while. Caution: What follows is a run-on sentence. Grammar police be warned. If you want to moan, talk to the hand. After just over two years of upheaval starting in March 2020 (I’m looking at you, COVID), lockdowns, social distancing and loss of connection in real life (look away now, COVID),…

Just Say Yes

I’m running out of ways to make you seeI want you to stay here beside meI won’t be ok and I won’t pretend I amSo just tell me today and take my handPlease take my handPlease take my handPlease take my handPlease take my handJust say yes, just say there’s nothing holding you backIt’s not…

I’ll be back…

Is anyone still out there? I’ve been on a pretty massive journey recently as you might have noticed from my last post. I also know it’s been quite some time since I wrote. What’s been even more exciting is that I have now got some real copywriting experience under my belt. I have a group…

28 Days Later…

A lot can happen in 28 days. If there is one thing I’ve learned from last year, is that sitting around and just wishing for change results in exactly zero change. Why is David Bowie the cover star for this post? Because he was the master of change. Turn and face the strange indeed. Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes…

Firefly Lane

I’ll come clean and say outright that I was never a fan of Katherine Heigl. I never got into Grey’s Anatomy, and I had read rather a lot about how she was ‘difficult to work with’. Translation: Too good for TV when she left the show and decided that she had a face made for…

Somewhere, over that rainbow

Not one person here reading this now (is anyone out there?) would be unfamiliar with the Wizard of Oz. Or indeed it’s headline musical number ‘Somewhere Over the Rainbow’. That most wistful of songs which conveys a deep yearning to be somewhere that we just can’t be. This post, however, is not about that rainbow…

About Face

I’ve been absent for a little while, I admit it. I’ve felt some guilt at not posting anything new in 2021. To be fair there has been a fair amount going on in the world. We had the most abnormal Christmas I’ve ever experienced, and that’s saying something considering I haven’t been home to Canada…

15-Love: Tales From the Towel Room

I grew up watching tennis because of my parents as a really young kid, but I didn’t really follow it. I remember the grass courts of Wimbledon, the reddish-orange clay of Roland Garros, the overwhelming noise of the US Open. But I never remembered watching the Canadian Open on TV. Things changed substantially when my…

Help! My Eyes are Streaming!

It isn’t just me. Actually, all our eyes are streaming. I don’t mean tears of joy, sadness, terror, or allergies either. I’m talking about how if you weren’t on the media streaming bandwagon before COVID, you almost certainly are now. With so much new content now appearing on streaming services exclusively, and really brilliant content…

Back in the Saddle

The best decision I ever made as an adult, besides marrying my husband, was to follow my heart and get back to horse riding. I don’t really remember a time in my life when I didn’t love horses. It has always been an all-encompassing, absolute, and deeply satisfying kind of passion in my life. There…
