I have been really fortunate to travel to a lot of Europe and a few farther aware places in the past 9 years. What started out as a one-off trip with Boo, my travel pal, has escalated to sometimes 2 or 3 trips a year, with our most distant being the recent trip in November to Bali and Singapore. Sensational Singapore When we are planning our trips, there is a particular list of things that are important to us. No, its not beaches or bars, but museums, places of historic interest and antiquity. We like to see the unusual and different. The Sex Machine Museum in Prague, and The Museum of Broke ..read more

It’s The Little Things

Back in December 2023, ITV hosted The Royal Variety Performance 2023. As usual, I sat and watched it with half an eye; I was either writing, cross-stitching or doing an jigsaw on my mobile phone at the same time and it is one of those programmes that you do not have to study. However, there was one performance that night that really captured my attention and stopped me from doing what I was doing. It was a musical performance from the cast of a new show, “The Little Big Things”. The show is based on the true life story of 17 year old Henry Fraser, a promising rugby player and his family. Their ..read more

Travelling Tattoos

As my followers on Instagram know, I had a tattoo done when I was in Bali to commemorate my travels so far and plan those still to come. The basis of the tattoo was a black line drawing with the word ‘Explore’ joined into it and a black plane coming off it. Having an Adventure Whilst there I also had a little black icon to signify Bali; in this case a pair of temple gates. Now it was time to add some more icons to the design representing many of the countries that I have visited in my life. The intention is to keep adding little ‘stamps’ until I have listed every place, almost like a walking ..read more

I have spoken in the past of my love for Neowalk products. It was around 18 months when I got my first stick; The Gatsby. A clear acrylic stick with a question mark shaped handle which had thousands of golden sparkles inside. The Gatsby Topped off with a beautiful engraved collar with my blog name and the capability of being lit up with torches from within, it was a real marvel when you compare it to your bog standard grey metal NHS stick. And that was the big difference. Now, I am not talking on behalf of everyone who needs to use a stick, however for me personally, I hated needing to use a ..read more

A couple of weekends ago, a group of Bali Babes met up for a weekend in London having Adventures. Made up of ladies from different places in Europe, we had imaginatively nicknamed ourselves ‘The Eurobitches’. On The Way To The Lanesborough The weekend was a chance to get together, have a giggle, chat, eat, get fancied up and try different things. One of those was having an Afternoon Tea at a posh London hotel. I had gone onto Google and had a look at all the options that we could have, especially those that were near The Strand, which is where we had an event planned for later on in the even ..read more

When I was away in Bali with Boo and the Eurobitches, I was introduced to the amazing creations of JessaKae by Rachel when she shared one of her dresses with the wider group. She had brought it for the photoshoot that we had on our first full day together and was very gracious in letting me try it on (and take some fab photos in it). JessaKae Beautifulness I absolutely loved the dress although I would need to grow at least a foot for it to fit properly, however it was amazing on the high swings in Bali where it flowed out beautifully behind me. Fast forward to December when JessaKae announce ..read more

When I went to Bali in November, I knew that my Bestie Boo was there every step of the way. I didn’t have any worries or fears as together we could move mountains. Of course I don’t mean literally move mountains. We could, however tackle any issue and solve it with a little thought and spit-balling some ideas. What I didn’t expect to get on that trip to Bali, was a whole group of like minded ladies. Complete strangers (apart from Boo) there were eleven guests and Kirsty, the organiser, in total. We spent 11 -12 days together and it was life changing AND life affirming. Out of that holiday I ga ..read more

Before Boo and I went to Bali, we had a conversation about the up-coming Disney 100 Exhibition that was taking place over a period of time at London ExCel. On My Way She had a couple of tickets and asked if I would like to go and see it with her. No brainer there! So, it was a frosty Sunday morning when I set off for London to meet up with her AND a lovely lady called Lisa who we made friends with on that same Bali trip. Bali Babes Of course, it never really goes to plan, does it? I live with anxiety and am medicated for it. However, when there is going to be a special event or travelling ..read more

As my regular readers know, I lost my Mum in July of last year, eight years after Dad passed away very suddenly. November 1996 As the only family member left with ‘capacity’, I am now responsible for two adults with quite several mental incapability. Albert at 77 and Diverus at 65. Beloved Grandchildren It is like having two 6 years old again. The constant chatter, repeated questions, inability to left alone, making ‘silly’ decisions as there is no ability for rationale and more mean that every aspect of their lives has to be organised and planned out by me. Imagine Donkey in Shrek with “A ..read more
