Emily's Tiger


Whenever Emily doesn't get her way, she growls and roars like a tiger. She roars when her mother tries to cut her hair, she roars when she doesn't get picked to the be clown's assistant at a birthday party... what are her mum and dad going to do with their tiger-daughter? Then Grandma comes to stay - and she knows a thing or two about tigers.

This is an excellent book which shows children how to manage their own feelings of frustration and anger as they see how Emily develops her personal and social skills.

The End Of The Summer Holidays


Well that's it - the end of a rainy summer holiday. Well, at least we managed to grab 2 weeks in the sun - our first family holidy abroad - in Salou, Spain. Thomas and Aiden had a great time - can't say I found it relaxing, though. But, I suppose that goes with the territory - 2 boys aged 3 and 6!

I managed to coax Thomas senior into 2 days camping in Blair Athol in the hope that he might like to do it on a more regular basis (he had never camped before). 2 days in the pouring rain, being stuck in a tent which he couldn't stand up in has not changed his mind. I think next year it may just be me and the boys.

Cancer Research UK - Relay for Life

I am privileged to be permitted to hold a stall at the Cancer Research UK - Relay for Life event being held at Dalgety Bay Leisure Centre on Saturday 23rd August.

This inspirational community-led event that celebrates those who survive cancer and pays tribute to those who are touched by it.

Relay For Life can involve many things - a walking event, a party, a concert, a big day out. But most of all, it brings local communities together to help beat cancer.
