The garden tap has been leaking for weeks. I feel guilty every time I turn it on, and I have been desperate to get around to fixing it. The first thing I did was look for a replacement on Amazon, as ours might be beyond repair. I even ended up sending for two, but on…

Sometimes I lie awake in the middle of the night and wonder what I am doing. I know what I think I am doing, but what am I actually accomplishing? Sometimes, I think writers are ill-equipped to step outside of their writing world to become successful businesswomen. I imagine you would need a severe dose…

For several weeks now, I have not been able to galvanise myself to do anything much. For some reason, my enthusiasm and also my duty of care has been missing. My brain has been trying to opt out of any enthusiasm for anything, and I have hated every minute. This has been a strange state…

When I was told that I wasn’t fit enough for surgery, I didn’t know what to think. When I got over the shock, my first thought was, I can get fit, no problem. I just have to exercise more. I ended up fretting about this so much that the more I searched for a way…

I needed some light relief this morning, so what could be better than a happy, joyous moment from last Summer? Two adventurous magpies, playing among my bonsai… I hope they come back this year! Love Jaye 💖💖

We are coming across more and more coincidences in our family lately. You know the ones I mean, where you have just been discussing something, when literally minutes later, someone will mention this same thing on the programme we are watching. Sometimes, the subject matter is so unusual, you can’t help wondering if something else…

Big Ben has always been a very special symbol in my life. I grew up in London, and the deep resonant tones of the bell and the imposing majesty of the building are one of the most enduring memories of my time there.London has many such landmarks and I love them all, but that tall…

Something very strange has been going on around here… We have been having some lovely sunrises lately, probably because the temperature has dropped alarmingly. Something has been rising in me, too, and it is so very welcome. I have been doing quite a lot of thinking too, something I didn’t expect. Being in constant pain…

I wasn’t quite sure how I felt when I woke up on Friday morning, so it was a very confused woman who staggered to the car. For days, I had been fighting a feeling of vague disappointment, so sure that this long-awaited appointment would be a waste of time, like so many before. (It usually…
