The Gallery: Mother Nature
It’s taken me a while to choose a photograph for this weeks theme. I kept coming back to photographs I took on a trip to Dungeness, a unique headland on the Kent coast which I’ve blogged about here and here. I don’t know what the flower is but I love the way it’s juxtaposed with…

Body Confidence for mums
What’s your post-pregnancy body like or is that question too personal? It can’t be as bad as mine, and coupled with the festive season I really need to diet!
