As one of the most famous bachelors gets ready to take his wedding vows, the question seems rather pertinent. Can perennial bachelors like George Clooney change and become longstanding husbands – able to weather the rough seas that accompany the great times? Remember those snippets of advice our mothers offered on our love life? My mother’s wisdom was that you should never marry a…
In 2014 lots of WW1 anniversary celebrations are taking place across the UK and Europe and as a parent I feel it’s my responsibility to teach my son all about WW1 and WW2. The school is also helping out explaining history in a simple way which is important to understand current issues and political scenarios. But I believe the new interactive look of the Imperial War Museum will certainly…

The real treat was three-time Brit nominee and X-Factor winner Alexandra Burke (only 26!)…

I have realised that Playmobil is younger than me by 4 years! I actually thought the German toy manufacturer was older than me as I can remember being at primary school when I started playing with their toys and it felt as an established brand already. I have always been more a Playmobil fan than a Lego fan. Only recently Lego has introduced a girly friendly range, Lego Friends, but Lego has…
