Had a really nice time during the latest trip to the South West, for another Writers Retreat, as my other half Howard came with me. One of the days we took a drive to Widemouth, it was bright and quite sunny but quite breezy! Lovely though being by the seaside, Howard particularly appreciated the sunny […]
Autumn is here! And sneaky peeks
Even though I worked a lot this week we also had some nice times. Went for lots of lovely walks where I took this gorgeous picture – look at the symmetry. It does remind me of the old Thames TV logo a bit! Plus H had his family over and we went to the local […]
Bank Hol Family Fun and Sneaky Peeks
Weren’t we lucky… Almost, with the weather on bank holiday? Having come back to work with a bump over the weekend, (some long shifts including one 3 hour stretch!), I enjoyed a lovely bank holiday afternoon down near my other half Howard, with Brad my son and a couple of his friends as well who […]
Devon excursions with H! Theatre with QVC gang. And sneaky peeks!
Part two of my Devon trip this week, and after the kids went home, I had no one except me and Howard to worry about, and we had a lovely few days. It was superb not to have anything on, on almost any of the days and we just made it up as we went […]
Annual family getaway! And sneaky peeks!
I did it! Managed to get another picture almost exactly the same layout, with everyone in it and me this time as well, when my children and their children came down again for their annual week with me in Devon. It was a bit different this year because they’re all so much older and more […]
In the Swim. And Blow ‘out’ Blows Up!
Went swimming this week for the first time in absolutely ages and loved every second. Reminded me why I need to do it more often! In keeping with my determined resolution to lose some weight by the time I go to Cyprus at the end of September, I’ll be back more now I’m sure! But […]
Cornwall Catch up and sneaky peeks
It was another Devon week (without Howard – he was over in Belgium making up for his aborted motorbike trip last month, with a trip to some of the world war sites including at Ypres, or ‘wipers’ as the British soldiers used to call it during the war apparently!) One of the highlights was going […]
School Reunions & Wonderful Walks
Got back into the swing of things after our Swedish holiday this week in Sussex with a lovely walk or two along the usual route featuring a shady avenue of trees next to the fishing lakes near where my other half lives. Loved it! Also had a super reunion – Morden Farm Middle School girls, […]
Malmo moments, and sneaky peeks!
Went to see brother Glenn in Sweden this week, and of course his family; the last time Howard saw Glenn, Glenn was in nappies! (Those who don’t realise, my man and I were in the same class at middle school together till 13, and dated briefly when we were 14 – which is when said […]
Glowing Glowing Gone
From sunsets to World Cup hopes, this week has been an interesting one. The heatwave continued and with it, my heat rash has come back on my arms with a vengeance. Back to the high dose hydrocortisone sadly, if you have any recommendations let me know! Yes, I struggle a bit in the sunshine but […]
