Retro sweets: creating and awakening memories for all generations
For any adult who now takes a visit to a sweet shop, it is a journey which will transport them back to their childhood. Vivid colours, the smell of the sculpted sugar, the sound of the wrappers as they are tipped from containers into the anonymity of the small white paper bag. It all culminates in the handing over of the very personal prize to be closely guarded until the perfect time arrives to reopen and fully embrace the sensation of their favourite retro sweets.

Romania – the good, the bad, the ugly
Romania is a beautiful country. I love my country. Even Prince Charles loves my country. He comes to visit Transilvania at least once a year. He even owns a couple of nice houses here and helps in promoting the Carpathian mountains in UK and all over the world.

It is great that this video was made and because of the charity you can hear about in the video is enabling the kids to learn more about nature and how to…

If we do then we will stay and try to make a future. As you can imagine it will be hard. Kara doesn’t really know a lot of Romanian so it…

Sometimes more than once a day as I would spend a lot of time chatting on the forum with other expectant mothers. With some of them I am still friend with on Facebook. This time around not so much. I rarely check my Babycentre app to see what’s happening with the baby. I guess I am bit more busy this time. Instead of chatting on the forums I blog and chat on…
