Sleep used to be something that I would pride myself in being really good at, it could have been at the top of my CV, anytime, any place I could sleep, but after a huge bout of insomnia about four years ago things changed. Happy to say the insomnia is not consistent at all but […]
Well hello Midsummer, how did we get here? Not that I am not pleased to see you but it has been a slightly odd, bumpy track to get us to this meeting point. Some might say a life changing, history defining, incomprehensible, journey across unknown terrain to get here. Hurrah, we made it and aren’t […]
It takes a very long time to build a home…..I feel perhaps a never-ending task, there is always something that could be retouched, knocked down, changed, painted, moved around… I for one think, well if I get this done, or if we just paint that wall, or buy that piece, it will be complete, the […]
A New year , a new decade, the 2020’s are upon us … the sparkles of Christmas and its indulgence are now of yesterday ( well asides the indulgence left on me but that is not what this post is about ). I find a New Year can be both exciting and daunting at the […]
Goodbye Summer, hello Autumn. I think we are all thinking that the weekend’s weather was Summer’s kind way of saying her goodbyes. The last of the Summer, the last BBQ’s, alfresco dinners, Summer dresses and sandal wearing, snoozing in the rays days. Of course Autumn has an abundance of beauty and new changes can always […]

I wanted to call this post January Blues, but seeing it’s not only my first post since November, it is also my first post of 2019 and I didn’t want to start the year on a low, so I thought best to change it up a bit….Stay with me! I suppose my thoughts on New […]
It has been a while since I’ve put pen to paper or fingers to keys as they say, for the blog. With half written adventures aka Rome, part two coming soon, a glorious weekend in Cornwall, also coming soon, it is not as if I’ve not got any tales to tell so the only excuse […]
So the sweet days of Summer are upon us, I think we have had nearly a month of balmy, crazy and ridiculously wonderful sunshine and we are only in the first few days of July. The BBQ’s have been lit more than once (quite a lot actually) the Lido visits have commenced, sitting in the […]
Every now and then you come across a very special little find, a place that is just rather you and you feel all happy, smug and gooey ( see what I did there) inside and when that place is local to you and pretty much on your door step you also do a little cartwheel […]
