I'm loving the lighter evenings we have now. It means that when I do get the opportunity to get out and do some writing, I can sit by a window and enjoy the view. Yesterday afternoon I sat in the Zest Bar of The Tudor Park Hotel, a mile from my house, for a writing… Continue reading Writing With A View

Fabulous Evening!
Last night was our monthly Mermaids Writing Group meeting. About 4 times a year we have a guest speaker, and last night we welcomed the lovely Peter Jones to our meeting, as an honorary Mermaid 😉 I've known Peter since 2011, when I first met him at Swanwick (the writers summer school) where I bought… Continue reading Fabulous Evening!
Mud!
No...I didn't have a mud face pack yesterday, or one of those all over body treatments. I spent the morning in a muddy field with 31 Pugs lol. Lynda at Puppydogtails Academy, hosts the Pug meets once a month. Chatting to fellow "Pug Parents" is great fun and seeing my fur babies run around with… Continue reading Mud!
A Really Small Treat
Yesterday I gave myself a very small treat 😊 For some reason I never seem to buy myself bubble bath, relying heavily on presents from the kids...Birthday, Mothers Day, Christmas... Whenever they ask me what I want I say "smellies' lol. So yesterday on a supermarket shopping trip I decided to buy myself some bubble… Continue reading A Really Small Treat
Creative Juices
Last May I started a BA in Creative Writing. Everything was going great until November, when, suddenly, and I don't know why...I hit a wall. The creative juices were just not flowing. I ended up asking for an extension for my assignment. I think it was a combination of burn out (from all the studying)… Continue reading Creative Juices
Making Time
When i'm busy (which seems to be all the time at the moment lol) I find it hard to fit into my day everything I want/need to do. One of the things that ends up taking a backseat is reading. Yesterday morning I listened to a Podcast, where KM Weiland was being interviewed about her… Continue reading Making Time
A Year Of Mindfulness
For Valentines day this year, my husband bought me this... Yesterday, I sat down with a cup of Ginger tea and had a look through some of the daily challenges. Theres some good ideas in this jar. Each little card is for a whole weeks worth of challenges. I'm not sure that i'll be able… Continue reading A Year Of Mindfulness
Happy Vs Sad
On Monday I admitted defeat and accepted that I need stronger meds, then yesterday I spent a couple of hours at a car dealers looking at cars. So far this week has been pretty emotional...let me explain... I've had my car for 6 years. I love my car...its nippy, its small...ish...its comfortable...its a convertible...a bit… Continue reading Happy Vs Sad
Admitting Defeat
Sometimes, self care is about admitting you need help... I’ve been soldiering on with bog standard pain killers for the last couple of years, but yesterday I gave in and accepted the medication the doctor has been trying to persuade me to take. Googling this stuff is pretty scary, but, i’m willing to give it… Continue reading Admitting Defeat
The Adventures We’ll Have
Yesterday afternoon we sat down (me and the husband that is) and booked all the sites we want to go to from March until October in the Motorhome. We haven't been away since October last year. Not because we didn't want to, but having 3 dogs, all wet and muddy in a space thats 23… Continue reading The Adventures We’ll Have
