Summer In The City- Postcards from London.

A few weeks back a wrote a summer promises list, of all the things I wanted to try and achieve this Summer.  Up there at the top was a day in London, strolling around, in and out of cafes and bars and just soaking up the city.  Now I didn’t quite manage the cafes and […]

Body and Soul but in the other order.

As I’ve said many a time, (yawn) I do enjoy the Summer.  I think my last ten posts have cemented that for me and my readers, but although it is for the majority all fun and sunshine, the Summer can also stir up the opposite when it comes to perceptions and ideals.  This can start […]

My Summer Promises

I think we all have life time goals and achievements that we are all aiming for and hoping to tick off over the course of the year and even decades. I’ve a list as long as my arm, from so many dance/work goals, to bloggers goals, and to personal goals, like going to India, Poland […]

Like a Rolling Stone

This year, albeit on a bit of a whim, I brought Wes a turntable (yes absolutely one of those presents that was for me too) and I am so glad I did; it went down very well!  As we all know music today is so massively accessible, with i-tunes, Spotify, YouTube, TV and no doubt […]

Beside The Seaside-Whistable

So by the end of the first week of January I had quite simply broken nearly all the resolutions I had quietly made, felt completely uninspired and not particularly motivated. Screw New Years Eve being a let down, the first days of January can most definitely be, the festivities are over and it’s just very, […]
