Inspired to search my family history

I FEEL like I have been on holiday in the last week – even though I haven’t. I just happen to have been out twice in one week without any offspring, which is a novel experience for me.

A wiggle shortage on the dancefloor

She went first: her knees were crunching like a clunky gearbox.

Three year old Connor Davies in hospital after being mauled by a Dog last Friday. The toddler who had a toe bitten off and needed 40 stitches to his face and body after being mauled by two Staffordshire Bull Terriers returned home yesterday, Thursday June 21, 2001. The unmuzzled puppies attacked Conor Davies as he played outside his grandmother's house with his five-year-old sister Jordan. The dogs injured his face and body completely biting off one of his toes which doctors failed to save despite 13 hours of surgery. Doctors have told his distraught parents that Connor may never be able to run or do gymnastics at school. See PA story ANIMALS Dog. PA Photo: Tim Ockenden.

Hard work finishes on a high note

I had a real teary moment this weekend as I heard my daughter and her young friend from down the road happily playing duets together on the piano. This was a totally unprompted event and one I know will never forget.
