Or ten pin bowling. And in this game, it’s us who are the skittles (although at the moment I’m feeling more bowling ball shaped, but that’s another issue entirely…). When you move, you end up in a place with lots of other people you have never met before. It may take a while, but these […]

A Monday Minute – Best Warm Gloves Ever!

Posted on February 12, 2018February 12, 2018by makingherehome

A Monday Minute – A Change is as Good as a Rest

Posted on February 5, 2018February 5, 2018by makingherehome

But is a rest as good as a change? Expats, by definition, are used to a lot of change. But has anyone ever found the changes involved in moving overseas restful? Erm…I doubt it! But I am a person who likes change; I love going to new places, trying new things, meeting new people. The […]

failing and Falling

I am a perfectionist. Or rather a failed perfectionist as I am rubbish at everything.
