Meet Audrey

Hello there! So because today is Friday, let me introduce you to Audrey, for those who haven't read Wings & Behemoths yet, because she'll be giving you her words of wisdom today. She's never short of things to say and doesn't have time for idiots. She's fiercely loyal, hates tofu, and loves to party hard. She’s Trinidadian and Welsh, straight talking and honest. If you ask her a question, expect her to be direct; she won't hold back. Most people love her, apart from Miranda (I'll introduce you to Miranda another time), but Audrey's the heart and soul of college life, and she's here to answer today's dilemma.

Q; (Edited for anonymity and the question was a bit long) My best friend is dating my ex. She told me he'd asked her out, and I said it was fine, but I hate seeing them together, and now she barely talks to me, so I've lost my best friend too. How do I move on?

Audrey writes;

What is she playing at? You do NOT date your best friend's ex, EVER! It's a line you don't cross. I don't know why she even bothered to ask if you minded; she doesn't care about your feelings; she was going to date him even if you said no. She is not your bestie, so it's better if you just chalk it up to a bad experience and walk away. You have other friends, right? If you don't, then find some. Join a club or something. You need to surround yourself with people that you can rely on and trust. And when you're ready, find someone better than your ex to date. Lois, what are you doing here?

Lois writes; I was listening in, and I just wanted to add something…

Audrey; Thought you might. Go on then.

Lois; If things don't work out for your friend, be nice when she wants to be your friend again. Be better than how she treated you and give her a chance to apologise.

Audrey; Unless she does this sort of thing all the time, then walk away. You deserve loyal friends.

(This is who I think of when I hear Audrey talking in my head, and but of course, your Audrey might be a completely different person :D Happy imagining)

Put your phone AWAY!!!!

  Hi there! It’s a gorgeous day. Sun is shining and I am looking after my beautiful baby Granddaughter so I'm grabbing some time to write whilst she has a nap. #livinginhope :D In Wings & Behemoths, you might notice a theme of food running through the book. Ellen Wyatt is one of the main characters in the book. She is a mum, in her forties, with four children, and she is known for cooking food and lots of it. The family spend a lot of time sitting around the table, eating together, sharing stories and talking, which is how my husband and I raised our family too when they were little. We have three boys and a girl so cooking for six every day was quite a big deal. Occasionally, we were lucky enough to get a romantic weekend away together so my parents would come and spend the weekend at our home and look after their grandchildren. My mother cooked dinner one evening and my Dad was watching the News on the TV, as he helped to lay up the table. He shouted up the stairs ...

When I grow up I want to be......(you fill in the gap)

  I’ve lost count of the times when someone has asked me if I am so and so in the book. The answer, I guess, is yes, probably. My Nan used to say that I was a diamond, which was rather sweet. I know she meant that I was precious to her and special, but if you think of a diamond as having multiple facets, then that is true about all of us. Initially, we’re the product of our genes and DNA. One father, one mother, and some late-night shenanigans, and suddenly there’s a new person. We inherit bits of their DNA, like our dad’s eye colour, our mother’s red hair or a quirky shape ear or chin that blesses generations, but the other facets of our lives don’t necessarily come from our parents; they are learnt or experienced. Some of my personality comes from experience; being hurt or bullied gave me a tougher skin for a while. Experiencing trauma leaves a mark, too. Illness, bereavement, being the last to be picked for team sport, or just feeling like you don’t fit in can all develop tr...
