If you are a fan of the excellent Richard Armitage, get yourself a ticket to see him on 11 September at 7pm @theexchange1856 talking about his debut novel, Geneva. How lucky are we that he is coming to the North East!

My fab dog Daisy likes to make her own bed and then lie in it when we are at the office! A lesson to be learned by some of our clients maybe, when we family lawyers, can't undo some of the decisions they made during their relationship.

It's Friday and some of us have to beaver away at our desks, unlike my little woofer Daisy! She likes to be cosy snoozing whilst I crack on!

I’m taking all of August off – and so are all of my staff. It’s the best decision we ever made | Jo Hunter theguardian.com/commentisfree/… This is such an interesting article, plenty of food for thought. It would be tricky for me but, some bigger firms could maybe try some of the ideas?

I just had to share this article, as one of them many single women out there, it made me laugh out loud!! Sex and the City: Samantha Jones was the show’s best character. Here are 10 of her finest moments theguardian.com/film/2023/jun/…

When a client emails to say "You were that comforting voice on the end of the phone that reassured me when things were tough. Your advice & kindness I shall always remember with much gratitude". It reminds me why I do this family law thing.

I started bell ringing in 2018 & I can honestly say that it is one of the best things that I have ever done! Bellringers are lovely folk & it was great to learn a new practical skill. A peal appeal: bellringer shortage as King Charles’s coronation looms theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/a…

Really? Surely clients who are going through relationship breakdown will more concerned about the quality of advice & support they get from their family lawyer, not what he/she is wearing. ‘More like Annabel’s’: London law firm seeks to redress dress code theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/j…

Wouldn't it be totally fab if everyone could find the time to do one of the things in this list every now and again in 2023? Just going to check out the list myself. theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2…

Just came across this article which really resonated with me and no doubt a few folk out there!! I've learned to say no and not care what other people think: why did it take so long? | Emma Brockes theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

I have not been lucky enough to have children, but I am completely in awe of my fellow family lawyers who manage to juggle looking after them with a career in the law. Awesome and total respect! theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

OTD in 1864, one of the oddest naval clashes of the 19th century took place between Danish and Austrian ships near Heligoland in the North Sea during the Second War of Schleswig Holstein. A Danish frigate from that battle ‘the Jylland’ is still preserved in Ebeltoft in Denmark.

Disraeli’s favourite flower (hence the Primrose League) but there are some plants that just seem very dated and 1970s to me. Something about those leaves that remind me of artless municipal flowerbeds.

I can hardly believe that 20 years ago today my "mad thing" became a reality & my little law firm went live!! Lots of ups & downs over the years but despite it all I am still doing the family law thing & feel privileged that I can. Huge thanks to those folk who have supported me.

Hmmm, I wondered why I was feeling so tired as we approach the end of 2021. No doubt a great number of family lawyers out there feel the same. Roll on the Christmas and New Year break! Remote hearing evaluation reveals wellbeing woes lawgazette.co.uk/news/remote-he…

Awwww shocked and saddened to hear that the fabulous Helen McCrory has died. She was a brilliant actor and only 52. Her hubby, Damian Lewis and children must be devastated.
