The pursuit of sleep

October 20, 2014 By Clare Mackintosh

Everyone I know wants more sleep. The youngsters want to sleep in, the party animals in their twenties are recovering from big nights out, and those of us with children below waist-height are desperate for an uninterrupted slumber.

Postcard from the Isle of Cumbrae

August 27, 2014 By Clare Mackintosh

The best holidays are the ones that feel like an escape. Where nothing resembles your daily routine, and the normal rules don’t apply.

May 7, 2014 By Clare Mackintosh

Fear of boredom

March 31, 2014 By Clare Mackintosh

Nothing scares me more than boredom. I haven’t yet cultivated the art of doing nothing without getting bored (although I know several people who have it down to a fine art) and I have a propensity to fill every last hour of the week. And then a bit more. When I left my job – […]
