Once upon a time, there was a lass called Caroline. And, that lass lived with a lad and their 3 rather beautiful kiddies (let’s, for the sake of future arguments, call the lad G and the 3 beautiful kiddies we’ll have to call Eldest, Middlest and Youngest).
Their life, that family of 5, was rather fine. They were ordinary, plodding, seemingly happy and (of course) financially secure.
But then, one fate filled day, Caroline decided that she wasn’t really happy, that she didn’t want to plod and that really she wanted to do something rather different instead. She wanted to write stories and possibly even create a happily ever after or 2 (eventually).
The next part of the story, I am sure some of you have heard before. It was a rather exciting triple of years, involving a fairy godfather, a broken wand, a few baddies who were green and wicked and a rather fabulous sack full of magic fairy dust.
But this bit, this bit of the story that you’re about to hear, this is the part that came immediately after the green wicked baddies…

Twitter: @KatieMcCulloughHello again
Twitter: @clare166It looks great Caz, far too posh for a northern chick like me to visit…..xx
Seconds on the comment about the sketches — they’re ace. And Wordpress suits you really, however much you tantrum about its back-end.
Twitter: @matthewhillGreat to have you back Caroline!! =) xxx
Twitter: @kerryjeanpowerCaroline Honey!

Woohoo!
Many Huggles,

Loving the new look and waiting to hear the next instalment of the story.
It’s magic indeed Ms Caroline. I rubbed your blog for luck and now I have a lovely wife-to-be, a beautiful step-boy, a fab house in the middle of nowhere with a full-time Badger in residence and my triangle book is out for pre-order on amazon! Hurrah
Sx
Yay you’re back! I missed you
)
It’s looking lovely over here! Love the re-decorated blog!
Katie - thanking you for your kind words!
Clare Christian - hello lovely one!
Mel - I am more Northern than you lassy and I ain’t posh!
Matt - ‘tantrum about back-end’ is my middle name!
LBB - thank you!
Jamieson Wolf - oooh you gorgeous man!
Debs - thank you lovely!
Stray - hello honey! You found yourself a happily ever after, didn’t you? That makes me smile lots! Will the BBs widget still bring people to this site or will I have to change the BBs page to match?
Beth - I am indeed back!
I feel at home already… now to see if I can figure out how to do another blog post… xxx
Buttons and everything. Wish my blog had buttons. Every time I try to snazz up the Misssives it all goes skew wiff. I just have to look at HTML and I’m back at school looking at algebra on the blackboard and fending off a panic attack.
Twitter: @MisssymRealised I forgot to link to my own humble abode with my first comment: now rectified
Came back from a very boring day at work, to find you, back on the net, in your rightful place. Welcome back - you’ve been missed! PS love the new format!
Twitter: @janettejonesMisssy M - HTML scares me, as does the number of mistakes that I keep making! You will not believe the number of tantrums that I have been having…
trousers - isn’t it clever, that edit your comment thingie!
Janette Jones - thanks honey!
Love the new website, brilliant! Sorry I missed it, I’ve been eating fathers day chocolate!
Lovely Caroline! I love the new blog - it is most stylish and classy and has buttons. Koumpounophobes will not approve but I do, my word yes indeed
Now chuck some of that dusty fairy stuff over my head woman.
J xx
Twitter: @justjulietteHiya Caroline,
I’m loving the new look! Sorry I’m so late to this - had a mad few weeks. Best of luck with the new site and if you have any fairy dust left?
