About
I live on the edge of the Peak District NP with my husband, 2 sons (4 and 1) and dog. I work 2 days a week as a Primary School Teacher and in my spare time (!) I'm attempting to edit my children's novel. Slow progress - hoping to finish it sometime before the next century...

by Chanty 6 hours agoHi Skylark, sorry for the late reply - got busy with stuff - yes, it has been a very long time. I'm good thanks. Just been pretty busy with stuff and yes, much is happening or about to take off, but all positive I believe. How are you and baby - well baby must be big now lol? Hope all is well. Will be good to catch up - just time and being on at the same time... Who knows I may pop on to the WC more often. Time will tell. Hugs -
