ABBY's ANGLE 

2022-06-06_12-18-45.png

This profile picture was taken in Melbourne, to launch the column in The Docklands News. I honestly have never had such a flattering picture taken in my life, so I have simply refused to update it!! xx 

Whilst living in Melbourne, I connected with The Docklands News and the concept for our column "What Women Want" was born. It has been, and continues to be, a privilege to write for this wonderful publication circulated throughout the Docklands and streets of Melbourne CBD.

 

I started writing this column in 2008, and have continued to write what is now titled "Abby's Angle" with much joy.

 

As a single mum who has been through some pretty tough times, has experienced some of the worst of human behaviour as well as the best, and has survived a house fire  - and then a house renovation! - well let's just say I have a lot of material to draw on! 

 

Thanks for joining me, I hope you feel entertained by my writing, and I hope it makes you smile.
