I visited Penzance in Cornwall, UK, with a friend for a gloriously fun and sunny weekend last year. It was such a brilliant weekend and we were totally blessed with weather. There is a lido there called the Jubliee Pool. It had fallen into disrepair but had been restored to its former glory and was [...]

A Sun Halo Shines Down On Me!
Whilst in Australia recently, I was in the back garden of the house we were staying at in Swansea. It was a lovely sunny day and as I glanced up to the sky I was taken aback to see a rainbow which stretched the entire way around the sun! What the...??!!! I was sure I [...]
Beautiful Horizons
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 [...]
Atmospheric – Cambodia
The temples of Angkor in Cambodia, slowly being taken back by nature. Having visited quite a few of them, the most memorable were those with very few other visitors, where I could roam around at my own pace. The peace and quiet enveloped me as I wandered about the ruins and I tried to imagine [...]
A Welcome Travel Interlude
Daily Prompt - Temporary Whilst we wait for our next flight at Singapore's Changi airport I take the opportunity to hang out in the butterfly garden to stretch my legs and get some fresh-ish air. The break is very welcome after a 14 hour flight and I temporarily forget about my weary body and mind [...]
Scaling Mingun, Myanmar
Mingun pagoda in Myanmar took my breath away when we arrived. I couldn't believe how big it was....and what you see now isn't even the finished product. Started at the end of the 18th century by King Bodawpayalt, it was meant to be the largest stupa in the world but it was never finished, due [...]
Taming the frizz travel style
Daily Prompt - Tame I have always had a love/hate relationship with my hair... well it's probably more like a hate/hate relationship (how many people can relate to that??)! I have thick, coarse, frizzy hair and I have struggled my whole life to tame it! In the days before straighteners... well I can't even think [...]
The Grander Scheme of Things
Daily Prompt - Planet Planet....…well that word of course made me think immediately of our planet earth and the galaxy beyond that we live in…. space... it just blows my mind! I am not scientifically inclined at all but I am fascinated by space, the vastness of it makes me feel like my brain will [...]
The Blogging Game
Daily Prompt - Tentative When I saw that today’s daily prompt was tentative, my thoughts immediately went to my blog, which I started a few months ago. I was reminded of the uncertainty I felt when I first set it up (and which is still there!), it took a long time to even have the [...]
Banishing the lazy demons with yoga
Our yoga teacher told us to lift our arms and open our hearts, elevating our chests up and out. As we all tried to concentrate on our breathing and bring ourselves onto our mats, I realised that I had missed my weekly yoga classes. I had been lazy in the past few months and had [...]
