Rebel Yelp

A few weeks ago I found myself in central London with half an hour to kill between meetings. Normally I’d grab a coffee and head to Liberty’s stationary department but on this particular occasion I decided to do something a little more adventurous. I got another ear piercing. OK, so it hardly rates as truly rebellious but for this middle-aged mother of three, it felt good. Actually it felt bloody painful but now I’m thrilled with it. Just before having it done I asked the (much younger) lovely woman about to stick a needle through my ear if she thought it was a slightly ridiculous thing for me to do. ‘Not if it makes you happy.’ What she said.
