Early Days
I was born in Northwood, Middlesex. Although there were no complications at my birth, my mother spent two weeks in a maternity hospital, which was standard practice at the time.

I was thinking about mum and her luxury when I returned home from hospital after my third child, finding my two toddlers with chicken pox!).
Whether it has to do with my birthday or not, October has always been my favorite time of year, wherever I have been living: I love the colours, the cooler weather, and the idea of harvest. My mother told me that when she returned home after my birth, my 4 year old sister, recently aware of the change in the seasons, told her that "God's painted the trees since you've been away." This idea always comes to mind as the leaves begin to change. Read more here.
