WE DON'T HAVE IT THAT EASY...

Although others think we do.

Hello there, sassy ladies!

How are well all? Well, the run up to Christmas is well under way - the John Lewis advert has been released but is being panned for views by a lower budget, but much more sentimental, TV ad published by a bar in Northern Ireland. Who knew?

And, if you haven’t seen the Irish bar TV ad, here’s a sneak peak.

But, what I want to talk about in this issue of the newsletter, is just what a struggle mid-life can be. We’re the generation that’s called the “sandwich generation”, meaning that at one end, we’re pulled by our children, be they small or grown, and then at the other, we’re pulled by looking after elderly parents.

It’s rare that a women at our stage in life dodges this situation. Certainly, I haven’t and have lived with that responsibility for quite a long time, without the help of siblings, as I’m an only child.

So, how did I cope?
