It seems like every time I go online or watch TV someone is talking about Netflix or Amazon Prime, catch up or boxed sets. What we should be bingeing on at the moment. Its crazy how life has changed in the last few years. I wont harp on about remembering the days when we had… Continue reading Binge Watching

What If?
I listened to a podcast last month (sorry I cant remember which one) where the guest was Hannah Papp. She talked about her book, The Mystical Backpacker and her adventures. It piqued my interest...so I ordered the book and have been reading it ever since. Last night (while the husband was watching TV) I took… Continue reading What If?
At The Movies
Yesterday I was a chess widow, so I decided to curl up on the sofa with the Puggies and watch a film. I'm a huge fan of black and white movies, but after a quick search I stumbled across a collection of old Hitchcock films, and chose to watch Rear Window with James Stewart and… Continue reading At The Movies
The Art of the Essay
A few weeks ago I watched a video of science fiction writer Ray Bradbury giving a talk at a university. If you're a writer its definitely work a watch, but it is an hour long. One thing (amongst the many things) that Mr Bradbury said that I liked was his advice to read one short… Continue reading The Art of the Essay
Songs
I've been a music lover since I was a child, probably helped by my Grandfather, who would often get up on a Sunday morning, rummage through his record collection and play Nat King Cole, Perry Como or Andy Williams at full blast lol. Recently, i've rediscovered songs from my childhood, songs that my Grandfather played.… Continue reading Songs
Writing With A View
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
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
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
Perfect Day…
I was so busy yesterday, but all good stuff...don't you love days like that? Managed to get most of my chores done before the dog sitter arrived and then it was off out to meet a lovely friend for coffee and a chin wag. Got back, gave the Puggies their lunch, sat down for a… Continue reading Perfect Day…
Cross Stitch
I stumbled across an article the other day by Gloria Wickman, where she says that cross stitch helped "develop my creativity and self discipline". So yesterday I dug out one of my cross stitch kits (I've got a few, but most are in storage). After all, I could do with developing my creativity, and my… Continue reading Cross Stitch
