Oasis Dreamer

I've never been very good at getting things 'off my chest'. I've often kept thoughts and feelings bottled up inside me because I didn't want to encumber anyone else with my negativity or because I've been worried about the reaction. I'm very capable of letting my mind think of the very worst case scenario and [...]

As We Walk in Fields of Gold

As We Walk in Fields of Gold

I introduced a friend to the music, and the story, of Eva Cassidy a while ago and I've had it in my mind since I first saw this beautiful field of radiant colour at the Yorkshire Dales a couple of months ago to use the space for a picture. So...voilà! I loved the Yorkshire Moors [...]

Though She Be But Little, She is Fierce

Though She Be But Little, She is Fierce

The title of the blog, a quote from Midsummer Night's Dream by William Shakespeare.  MND has cropped up in my SL a number of times this year all in very positive ways and I wasn't always sure that would be the case. It was at a Midsummer Night's Dream party in 2014 that I met [...]

That Was The Week That Was

That Was The Week That Was

Do you ever have one of those weeks that completely escapes you? Where so much happens that you literally feel like you are living from one minute to the next and before you know it 10,080 minutes have passed? The week has been a whirlwind of high points and, because you can't have yin without [...]

When I Saw Her Standing There…

When I Saw Her Standing There…

I completely made the most of having my friend Joe come and pose for me for these pictures today (thank you Joe). I think I took something like 12 original raw shots and choosing which 3 to put into this post was incredibly tough because I loved all of them. The feature pic of the [...]

Summer Sun Brings a Perfect Place

Summer Sun Brings a Perfect Place

For the first time in about 5 years I moved to a tropical sandy sim. I've had forest/grass sims but I figured a change was as good as a rest and for summer blogging the sandy sim would be much better.  It was a good omen as I was excited to hear that I've been [...]

If You Can’t Say Anything Nice…Don’t Say Anything At All

If You Can’t Say Anything Nice…Don’t Say Anything At All

There's been a series of essays produced for a radio show that I listen to while I'm at work called 'Being Human'. People from actors to philosophers are asked 'What Makes Us Human?' and their essay is delivered on the radio and then discussed with the host of the show. It's fascinating to hear all [...]

The Sun is Out…Must be Pimms O’Clock

The Sun is Out…Must be Pimms O’Clock

It's been a fun weekend so far and the great news is there is an extra day of it! \o/ It's Memorial Day weekend in the states and in the UK it's the Spring Bank Holiday. The weather was gorgeous yesterday but today is a little more overcast where I am. But the great news [...]

A Year Goes By – My First Year of Blogging

A Year Goes By  – My First Year of Blogging

Wow! It's Sunday again huh? Where did THAT week go? In fact where did that YEAR go? Today is the anniversary of 1 year of blogging on the WordPress platform. I had blogged previously on blogspot but I really didn't take it very seriously and I was erratic to say the very least.  I initially [...]
