I have been going to painting classes for just over a year now. They are run by my local college, Mid-Cheshire and are one of the highlights of my week. The group of people I paint with are lovely. If you ask for help the more experienced artists are happy to give advice but everybody […]
Those unfamiliar with American history might not recognize the name “Jane Addams,” but there’s no doubt she was an inspiration to many women.
Born in Cedarville, IL, Jane was the eighth of nine children (though three of her older siblings died in infancy), in a loving and prosperous family. Her mother, Sarah Weber Addams, died […]
I first came across the writer Andrew Gross when he co-authored with James Patterson the books 2nd Chance and 3rd Degree. They also co-authored the books Judge & Jury, Lifeguard and The Jester, which are books I have yet to read. The idea of writing a book with someone else intrigues me as it implies […]
In the week immediately preceding Halloween, and the two weeks sense, I’ve been on a serious reading kick, and as is usual for me, this means I start a series I’ve been meaning to check out, and I read as much of it as possible. One such series, has been The Southern Vampire Mysteries, […]
Something not entirely unexpected has happened in the wake of my layoff two and a half months ago - we’ve been, well, pretty much broke. One month after my two children moved back in with me after being with their dad for a year and a half, my position as a receptionist in a corporate […]
Today marks the 90th anniversary of the end of World War One. Although a time when women didn’t even have the right to vote, let alone were welcome in the military, 80,000 women served in the British forces as non-combatants. One Englishwoman however, was an exceptional case. Flora Sandes, originally a nurse, became a soldier […]
Inspired by my dog, Zorro (a 14-year-old red & white Chihuahua mix), I offer for this week’s sound advice, five uses for peanut butter.
Smooth peanut butter works well for removing sticky substances – such as the residue from price tags. It also does a great job of removing things like glue and silly putty […]
Earlier this year I developed an intolerance for wheat products, which my doctor advised me could improve with time, if I gave them a complete break. As a result I have been looking for wheat alternatives. There are some great “free from” products out there, such as pasta, breads and even cakes.
I’d tried original Ryvita […]
“Women outlive men, so there’s more of them, that’s why sometimes you simply need an extra man at the table. It maintains a good seating arrangement. Boy-girl, boy girl. I am an extra man,” says Henry Harrison one of the two main characters in Jonathan Ames’ novel, The Extra Man.
The Extra […]
As the days approach to the holiday and gift giving season, the child in me wonders what Santa will decide: have I been a naughty girl this year or nice? The adult in me wonders if indulging in that fabulous chocolate pot de creme after dinner is a way of being nice to myself, or […]
It was only in 1918 that women over the age of 30 were granted the right to vote in Britain. It took another 10 years of fighting by the Suffragettes for women to finally gain the same voting rights as men in Britain in 1928. American women were given this right in 1920. It really […]

In the meantime, we are hard at work on our November/December issue of All Things Girl, which will be […]
