Yesterday I had an evening out with my writing group. Ok...I own up...it wasn't actually a night out, not like we normally do once a week. What I really did was go to the Motorhome for a couple of hours and attend our writing group meeting via Zoom 🤣 It worked really well and was… Continue reading A Night Out With Friends

Audible
I've been a member of Audible for about 5 years now, and have listened to a few audio books through their app on my iPhone (I can recommend Stephen Kings On Writing, as he reads it himself). In light of whats going on in the world at the moment they are offering FREE audiobooks that… Continue reading Audible
It’s All About The Ice Cream
Yesterday wasn't the first time i've spent Mothers Day without seeing my kids. Back in 2016 all 3 of them were in Venice for Mothers Day...that was bad planning. But this year, not only could I not see my kids or grand-children I also discovered i'm on the Governments Shielding List (because i'm taking an… Continue reading It’s All About The Ice Cream

Being Organised
Yesterday I did a bit or organising...and enjoyed it way more than I should have done lol I'm not a very neat, tidy and organised type of person. But I can see the benefits of living that way.

I'm finding it… Continue reading Getting It Off My Chest

We were going to wait until the last bits of work were done on the outside, but, with recent events we have decided to take action now and move into rented… Continue reading An Uncertain Future
A Moment of Silence
I didn't have my own photo to upload for this entry...so I Googled "quotes on silence" which was an interesting exercise. Lots of wonderful quotes about the benefits of silence...but it also brought up some examples of how silence can be damaging. After having the Grand-children for a sleep over on Sunday, yesterday I managed… Continue reading A Moment of Silence

Watching 3 of our 4 grand-children yesterday brought back lots of memories. Boy, I couldn't cope with 3 little ones now on my own thats… Continue reading Memories
