About me

I am a Pilot, a pilot’s wife and now a mother too. I was born overseas and loved every second of my childhood. I’ve learnt that many people have no idea what it’s like to be an expat, they see the foreign country and assume glamour and adventure. I’ve transited through a few countries and am currently making the UAE home. It’s hot, sandy and can be difficult at times, but it’s home for the foreseeable future so we might as well make a good go of it. 

A job, a husband, two beautiful daughters and family 4600 miles away, it’s life, my life, and seeing as there is only one of me, I guess that makes it a unique life! I tend to ramble, make up silly poems and generally go on about all the different facets of my life and how they fit together.. Or not as the case may be!

You might wonder why I decided to keep this blog anonymous, mainly for the protection of my girls, I don't trust the internet and I would never even consider posting photos of their faces when I don't know who will see them and in the future they might not thank me for plastering them all over the Internet. I wouldn't really  choose to post pictures or information about the company I work for and I don't want to have to ask my friends and family if they mind me writing about them! All in all, I think it's just easier to be anonymous rather than try to filter out bits here and there. Besides, it's always a bit more fun to write when no one knows who you are, you can be anyone you like! What difference would a face and a name really make anyway....
