I remember my first rainbow. I must have been about 3 years old, and we were living in London. My dad bent down from his great height to pick me up, up, up in the air, and carried me to a little window at the back of the kitchen. Look there! he said, …
I have big news. I’m moving to Los Angeles in April! It’s something my husband and I have been thinking about for a while, and we’ve decided to go for it. After a particularly brutal winter, I must say I’m looking forward to lots of sunshine! Will I miss the seasons? Sure… eventually. But then [...]
