I don’t know what’s worse. Doing this last push to raise the sponsorship we need for the joint exhibition in London in October or giving birth to my first child Nicholas almost 22 years ago to the day. I was in labour 23 hours and completely exhausted and all I could hear was everyone telling […]

This poem by the lovely Ms Moem has really touched my heart I needed to share it with you. Do you ever get to that moment when a special event in your life happens and you just can’t find the right words to express what you want to say? Well some people are so blessed […]
