Travelling The East Coast With Cross Country.

As you know, we went to Berwick Upon Tweed for our family holiday this year.  We don't drive so the best way for us to travel is by train.  With a choice of 2 operators on the East coast line, one stands out as being the best for our family.  Cross Country.

Berwick Upon Tweed 2016

What a busy week we have had!! Full of new experiences and fun shows. Mornings spent in the pool and night's spent watching shows and dancing. Haven Berwick holiday park is and always will be my favourite place to go (well I have been going there on and off for 28 years).

Raising Awareness About Anxiety and Mental Health

Why Mental Health Awareness Is So Important?

A fair number of people have some basic first aid knowledge. If someone starts choking in a public place, faints, or is wounded there is a decent chance someone in the crowd will know how to respond appropriately. But what if someone is having an anxiety attack? Do you think the percentage of people who would know how to react in a helpful manner is the same?

Petition Campaign Update

As you know, back in February I started the research into mental health services in Scotland with the view to submitting a petition to the Scottish Parliament highlighting the need for change.  Well on Tuesday 14th the petition was opened for public signature.

The Lost Smile

In Scotland we have an initiative called Child Smile which provides dental services to nurseries, schools and even have a child smile dentist in many dental surgeries.  They also look after your baby's first teeth when they come in.  Talking to your children about looking after their teeth is something we all need to do and we all know children don't always want to listen, I know my two have selective hearing!.  This is were Wrigley's come in with their new project - Smile Back.

Fresher For Longer

I've noticed that my fruit and veg tend to go off quickly, especially in the warm weather. I have tried different things but it still happened. The wonderful people at Ecoegg may have just come up with a great solution.

Eggsterminator

I have noticed recently that we seem to go through an awful lot of dish cloths in this house. They are not only used for cleaning the dishes, we use them on worktops too and of course they can get dirty very quick and they are not exactly easy to clean over and over again. Ecoegg have came up with a solution to this and I must admit, it is not only a convenient one, its a cute one too.
