This post is being written as part of the blog prompt for #DoSomethingYummy from Typecast which is the campaign for CLIC Sargent Charity for children with cancer. I’ve picked the prompt ‘Something I’ve survived‘. Yummy Mummy Week is 10th-18th March, so if you haven’t had a chance to add your own post, you still have time. OR just […]
Last week I watch a fascinating program (if you are a nosey people watcher like me) about whether scientists could find scientific signs of ‘good’ or ‘evil’.
