At The Start – At The End

There are different thigns to like about races. My friend is doing a triathlon and when he talks about the training he does for it, I am in awe of him. I am also in awe of his wife and daughter. They are there for him at the start of the race and they are […]

After All That Trouble

They should have taken the hint from the childbirth. To say it was tricky would be the understatement of the year. How Kelly was able to make it through the hours of hard labour was a wonder to her husband Frank. The doctors said it would be difficult and at one point they weren’t even […]
