the about page

Back in 1982, on a very rainy Friday, I entered the world. A first daughter, granddaughter, and niece, it was an occasion greatly anticipated by many. My name is Clare and I am originally from Malta, a tiny island country in the Mediterranean Sea. In 2008, I married my best friend, David, and we intend to live happily ever after.

I first started blogging twelve years ago (the Internet barely existed in Malta then) – but it was something to do between lectures at University. I have a degree in Communications and Sociology, which, admittedly, could have come in more useful. And now, many jobs later (some soul-destroying but most very rewarding), I am a Stay-at-Home-Mum – probably the most rewarding job of them all. And I have become a Mummy Blogger. It wasn’t planned (the baby was), but it happened anyway.

Fast-forward 28 years, and this time in the UK, once again a daughter is born. Emily arrived in January 2011. I have no idea whether it was rainy or not as I was quite busy all day in a delivery room where my first and only instruction upon entering was that the curtains be drawn. I didn’t care about much else, but I couldn’t risk there being someone with periscopic vision (the delivery suite was on the third floor) lurking about.

I blog about my life and the things and people that surround me. I blog about things that inspire me and I use lots of photos. My husband and I have always loved travelling, so I blog about that too. But mostly, I blog about Emily and our cosy family life here in Rochester, a quaint historic town in the heart of Kent, South-East England.
