There’s no getting away from it, 2016 has been a monumentally depressing year. As well as Brexit, Trump and the loss of so many great talents, it’s been generally bad for everyone I know. Like most, I can’t wait to see the back of 2016 but I think it’s still important to find positives where …

I’m going to start this post with a confession. I don’t take my children to the theatre enough. One of the many things Kate and I have in common is that we grew up in families who love watching shows live on stage, so it’s important to us. Unfortunately, opportunities have been few and far between this year. …
If there’s one material object I’ve missed of late, it’s our winter duvet. Once the cold weather arrived, we got it out only to find that it smelt rather musty.

One of the days I always look forward to over Christmas is Boxing Day. This is because, without fail, we all descend on my parents’ house for a big family get together. There will be four generations in attendance with ages ranging from one to 91, so there will be many mouths to feed. Not to mention …

Disclosure: this is a paid collaboration. As our house is up for sale at the moment, I’m no stranger to cleaning in a hurry. We often receive calls about viewings at short notice so I’m always ready to scrub things. With three children around, there’s usually a mess somewhere. While I’m far from being a clean freak, I always …
Whether you like it or not, Christmas is coming. And whether you like it or not, guests are likely to be descending on you! I jest, of course. It’s always nice to see extended family and friends. It’s preparing for their arrival that I don’t enjoy – I don’t want to make a bad impression – …
