I honestly believe that we can only be at our best when we are truly being ourselves, no airs and graces, no pretense, and no hiding behind a false mask. There have many times when I have felt at my very best, may not have looked at my very best, giving birth to and then cradling your first born in your arms will never win you any 'Smartest Turned Out Mum of The Year' awards, but believe me, there is very little that can top bringing life into the world.

For sheer unadulterated exhilaration my best times were galloping my pony over Epsom Downs as a young teenager. My long hair streaming in the wind, my heart racing in time to my pony's hoof beats, the feeling that I was truly flying!!!

As for looking at my very best, what else could it have been, as it is for any female, than at my wedding. Sadly I was so nervous that the day seem to pass in a blur, but looking back at the photos, yes, the joy and happiness I felt at marrying the man I loved shone through to my face making me feel and look very beautiful indeed.
