I saw something on the internet (I wish I could remember where!) at the beginning of the year, which suggested taking the time each night before you go to sleep, to note down one good thing that happened that day. Initially I dismissed it as just another of those annoying new year resolutions, but the [...]
We were huddled under blankets on little chairs on the longtail boat, which was speeding away from the town and out into open water. The early morning mist was rising off the lake and shrouding the surrounding hills, partially obscuring their shapes. There were a few other boats passing us, with occupants similarly wrapped up [...]
A weekend away in Warwick was a bit of last minute decision. We had a wedding to attend on the Sunday evening and I had taken Monday off work, so it seemed like the logical thing to do to extend the weekend. We decided to stay at the Hilton on the outskirts of Warwick, as [...]
We had a week's holiday on the island of Lanzarote a few years ago. It was all about relaxation, eating good food and soaking up some sun. Lanzarote is one of the Canary Islands and is a surprisingly striking island, due to its volcanic terrain and lava fields - it may seem bleak at first [...]
Hands up who knew there was a Newcastle in Australia? No? Of you who did, how many have been there? That's what I thought! When I tell people I'm going there I am usually met with a blank face and have to explain whereabouts it is. Which is exactly what happened to me the first [...]
I was expecting to wake up to rain (and possibly snow!) this morning, instead I was greeted with this... a very lovely surprise!
It’s the second week of January and whilst everyone else seems to be full of hope and optimism for the new year, I feel like I am desperately lagging behind. I have really struggled to get into the new year (it feels like this month has already lasted forever!). It’s been tough, I’ve been ill [...]
Happy New Year! So, I’ve been a bit lazy on the blogging front the last few weeks, what with Christmas and all. The festive season was lovely, but I was pretty tired by the time the holidays rolled around. Christmas day was spent very quietly with my family and it was lovely, I couldn’t have [...]
Well, I am very pleased to announce that I have reached my five month blogiversary today! I can't believe it, how time flies! As it's also Christmas it seems like a good time for a little reflection. I was petrified of setting up a blog and hitting that publish button for the first time, I [...]
Well it's a very cold Monday morning and I wasn't too pleased to have to drag myself out of my lovely warm bed earlier, when it was still dark outside - I was a tad grumpy. However by the time I reached work I was met with this gorgeous sunrise... it helped to ease the [...]
