Earlier this year I had my website and this blog updated and redesigned. Since then the interaction with these posts, via ‘likes’ and comments has plummeted and I’ve been wondering what on earth I’ve done wrong to alienate you all.
Then I realised: the buttons to ‘Like’ or ‘Comment’ on a post had disappeared!
My wonderful developer has now reinstated them. I would be most grateful if you could scroll down and click one or other (or both!) of them so that I can see that they work and that we love each other again!

Thank you for button pressing! As a reward, here is advance notice of the Happiful Poetry Competition 2027. Entries open on 1st September and close on 30th October 2026.
The winner will receive £100 and four shortlisted poets will receive a £25 National Book Token each. All entrants will receive a complimentary ticket to an exclusive poetry webinar.
Entry is free and poems must be on the topic of mental health or wellbeing. Don’t forget to read the full terms and conditions.
