Meet Your Bloggers

Bucks Bites:

The perfect wife and mother, Rebecca runs a home, a village magazine and is working on her novel. She does not visit the gym or jog but is in amazingly good shape. She enjoys photography, playing the piano and arguing with the TV. She lives in Amersham with her husband and youngest child (aged nine). Her eldest, now 26, lives and works in Buckinghamshire.

Existing:

My blog has no particular purpose- it’s just a snapshot of the things that happen in my life and the thoughts those events trigger really. For the last ten years, I have worked as a teaching assistant at a junior school, and recently I started studying for a degree with the Open University. Couple this with the fact that I have a daughter studying for her A levels, and a son for his GCSEs, not forgetting a husband working towards yet another qualification in insurance, and you’ll begin to understand why my random jottings are largely about education. Through my writing, I hope to raise a smile, and will welcome complaints should I fail!

Desperate Housewife lives in High Wycombe with her husband, children and boisterous dogs. She is going to write blogs on various day to day topics, such as toddler and teen tantrums, marital issues, competitive Mums and much much more!

Juggler:

I call myself that as I am constantly juggling work, family, home, friends, gym, running, socialising etc etc. So I shall blog as I go and hopefully you will join me in the busy, sometimes mad but generally interesting and often funny life I lead!

My ancestors have resided in Wycombe and the surrounding area for several centuries.During my lifetime there have been many changes take place in our town. At the present time the town is changing faster than ever before however I feel that not all the changes are for the better.
