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
Freedom from FaceBook
I think I may have finally kicked my FaceBook addiction! I realised quite recently that I was spending about 2 hours a day on social media, mainly FaceBook...WTF???? Do I want to live my life like that? Do I want FaceBook to be the first thing I do when I wake up and am drinking… Continue reading Freedom from FaceBook
Hot Chocolate
Going with the whole theme of a hug in a mug this week (in a feeble attempt to shift this bloody cold which still has me bunged up and unable to sleep at night), yesterday I made myself a cup of hot chocolate. I'm not really a fan of hot chocolate...its not something you will… Continue reading Hot Chocolate
Soup for The Soul
I remember the first time I saw a copy of the book Chicken Soup for the Soul...I thought it was a cookery book lol. Twenty odd years later there are dozens of Chicken Soup books, but i've only read the first one. According to Google, the phrase itself refers to the use of Chicken Soup… Continue reading Soup for The Soul
Do One Dennis!
The UK is currently gripped by storm Dennis, which started yesterday and is continuing on into today 😟 I don't really mind being cooped up indoors (Its an excuse to read and slump on the sofa), but the poor Puggies hate it. They still want to go for their walk, then get to the front… Continue reading Do One Dennis!
Happy Valentines
Ok, I know i'm a day late, but I think Valentines Day should be like Birthdays...run for longer than just 24 hours 😉 Yesterday my husband took me out for lunch to one of our favourite restaurants, Chapter One. We first visited the restaurant when it was The Fantail, for our 1st Wedding anniversary 34… Continue reading Happy Valentines
