My georgous friend Krista has finally inspired me to start a blog!! After searching the vacant lot that is my brain, I finally rested upon the idea that it could be a fun(mmmm) way for my friends back home in the UK to keep up to date on the drama that is my so called life.

Though perhaps today was not the best day to start!!! I have neither an interesting life, nor am I a great philosopher on life, I can't even offer any handy hints on how to make dinner interesting week on week.

I guess the most exciting thing about me is that I left the safety and eccentricity of my homeland, England, to live on the beautiful west coast of Canada. Initially a final fling at freedom, my travels across Canada last exactly 42days, as on that day I met my wonderful husband. So here I am 6500 miles from home, and despite being here for 2years, still woefully and tremendously homesick.

I have two amazing step daughters, and the cutest dog, and yes I am 35 with no children of my own, so he is for all intents and purposes , my baby.

I am TRYING to quit the weed and NOT gain weight (NO CHANCE). All the books , websites and experts say keep you hands busy, hence the blog.

So Day one.....Woke to grey skies, and rain...go figure it's Vancouver. Work for a change was a breeze. Home to the girls as Hubby is working late fixing my car, though how he gets it into the bar is quite a mystery???Mmmmm. Following yet another heart to heart with my eldest SD, dinner was consumed and SD's disappeared to bemoan the fact that SM just does not understand what it like to be young (more on that later).

So before finding homes for laundry, homes other than the floor, I though I would take the plunge and start a blog.

So there I've done it, I've started, put it out there, see you soon
