Lovers in a dangerous time: Dating in your late twenties
May I be frank? … I’ll take that as a yes. If you are muttering ‘no’ at the computer right now, knowing what’s coming you’d better turn away now. You’re probably right. Dating as your approach your thirties is a hazardous experience. Let’s be honest, dating as a fresh-faced, dewy-eyed youngster was no bundle of [...]
Playing House
I’m having a bit of a late one today. It’s raining outside, today. It can’t be said that a little rain hasn’t been needed. For the last few weeks, the country has been in the grip of some absolutely gorgeous weather but the last few days, it’s been a little bit close, and heavy in [...]

Whereas Magnolia is slightly more peachy, the ivory has slightly more of a yellow hue [...]
Reflection
You know, it’s so gratifying when you can begin to see things coming together.
