Sometimes we get this parenting thing entirely wrong. I’m not talking about neglect or mistreatment. I’m talking about something all parents do from time to time; some parents do this most of the time. When was the last time you got really cross with your offspring because they didn’t…
It is Friday evening again and time for something fancy, inexpensive and delicious. It is ‘eat for less’ day. Today I’ll share the way I make Savoury Brioche Couronne; this is also known as ‘crown’ and soon you’ll see why. I go this recipe from Paul Hollywood, e.g. the God…
I’m at my desk. Why am I telling you this? Because we’ve been having a bit of a summer here in Manchester and most people are outside. We are not only having a snippet of summer; we have also heard a lot about the dangerous heatwave which will begin…
You are not going to believe how long this post has taken me to figure out, write and have the courage to publish. Why you may ask? Because this one is very different from the two posts about making money I published previously. In the first one I shared fifteen…

Today I made one of our favourite treats : feta cheese pie. Now, normally I’d say that pies are poor man’s food. Seriously, they are mostly carbs and fat. Several years back, I had to get to Granada in Spain; I was invited to give the keynote at a small…
Couple of days ago I heard my mobile phone pinging. I looked at the text and my heart sank: it was a text from my dentist telling me that I have an appointment today. I’ve been with my dentist for close to ten years now; I know he has ‘light…
Editor’s note: This post is part of the Women’s Money Week. On my way to lunch, I was walking behind two women in their mid-thirties. They were talking about work-life balance and their conversation went like this: ‘I am expected to teach, do admin and publish in these top-notch…
This morning we didn’t hurry. Yes, we are here to ski but we are also here to rest and enjoy life. Don’t know about you but queuing for the lift while my heart is still half asleep is not my idea of rest. This is why we don’t hurry…
