You won’t be surprised to hear Cupcake and Marigold aren’t our real names, but perhaps they tell you a little about us as people. No Woody Allen film could every replicate the humor and day to day life experiences shared between soul mates. And whilst we’ve all had lives, loves and losses it’s the everyday things that big us up and bring us down and when we really need our friends.
Think of this blog as your daily mag, soap opera, HRT patch or latte. Whether you’re just bored or after meaningful inspiration – and lets face it, aren’t we all? – enjoy bites of our daily lives, all washed down with lashings of tips, info, opinions and hopefully a touch of humour!

Maybe it’s the time of year with this week’s weather evidence of the summer nearing its end and the onset of autumn and winter, but there is nothing like a good drama on TV to look forward to. All the talk around the new Cameron baby and a possible Cornish name started me thinking of Poldark with the lovely Demelza. Galloping across windswept Cornish … Read More »
