I alway say that Domino is the only real character in my books. This is true, but the time has come to confess that, in some ways, Megan’s Mum, Sheila is a bit like……………………..me.

I hope my hair isn’t as crazy as Sheila’s, and I’m not loopy about lentils but, like her, I do care a lot about the environment.

One really bad thing is the way we eat food that has travelled half way across the world. (Surely it would suffer from jet-lag like humans do?) I’m far from perfect – I eat lots of oranges, and since when do they grow in Ireland?? I do try to compensate though, by growing a lot of vegetables. The carrots in the picture are an example. They travelled about fifteen metres (from my back garden to my kitchen) before being eaten. I used them to make a carrot cake. Sheila might not approve, but we all need treats sometimes, and it was delicious!!!!
