Snug as a Bug

Snug as a Bug

"What others think of you is none of your business" I don't remember the first time I heard this quote. I think it was when I was a young adult. I've done some brief searching this morning to source the quote but it's been attributed to many different people over the years it's almost impossible [...]

Dream in Ruins

Dream in Ruins

Good morning and Happy Friday! I am usually quite excited about the impending weekend but today I feel a bit 'meh'. I have been a little under the weather having had a stubbornish headache for a few days and not sleeping all that well but I can usually muster better than a 'meh' for a [...]

Little Shop of Bakery Horror

I absolutely hated cooking at school...or home economics as it was also called. I hated the whole rigmarole of weighing and measuring ingredients the night before and putting them in a biscuit tin to walk to school with. I lived a good 20 min walk from my school and I detested the walk in with [...]

So, if you follow my blog expect to see a lot of horror and halloween spookiness on the blog over the next few weeks. [...]

Time Stand Still For Just a Moment…Please

Time Stand Still For Just a Moment…Please

Time goes so quickly when you are enjoying yourself or in good company. Yesterday was one of those days. It was a packed evening where we went sailing for the first time in a long while. I remembered how relaxing and how enjoyable it is, especially as we had invited another couple along with us [...]

Please, Don’t You Rock My Boat

Please, Don’t You Rock My Boat

I could sit on that bench, in that scene, for hours. A year ago I couldn't have said that. I would struggle to sit still for a few minutes let alone hours. The people we spend time with have a way of influencing how we feel about things. I've found myself being far more open [...]
