So last week I was going to Blog every day and here we are a week later and there have been not more posts! I really do like making a rod for my own back! However I’m pleased to say that my healthy Autumn campaign is going well! I’m still on track with Sober September…
Read MoreIn remembrance of Sydney Bacon
I first published this post in 2014 and it seems very fitting to republished today on the 100th anniversary of the armistice. Amazingly my Dad discovered this newspaper amongst his own fathers memorabilia yesterday. This morning I will be going to our local service to remember all of those who perished in this and other…

Read MoreThat was May
It’s the 1st of June although you wouldn’t know it. My Facebook feed is full of picture of friends flaming woodburners! The year is flying by and May was certainly a busy month… On my morning walks I saw buzzards, a heron, swallows and swifts and heard a cuckoo (walking in Cuckoo Lane). My son came back…

Read MoreCarpe diem
Today started at about 12.10am when our son woke me from that deep early night sleep to say that Robin Williams was dead.

Read MoreWhere do you live?
I came across this folk tale this morning on a Blog that I was reading as I sipped my early morning tea in bed. It is very pertinent at the moment so I thought that I would share it along with some of my recent morning walk pictures taken on the out skirts of our…
Read MoreThoughts for a friend
The focus of my thoughts for the last few days have been centred around a dear friend who has been admitted quite suddenly to hospital for a major operation. She had to stay in for several days to recover so I have been sending her messages and thoughts which she was able to read on…
Read MoreMorning walk – 22nd July
It would be fair to say that I haven’t been very motivated to write and post much just lately. I’m still walking in the mornings and taking lots of photos on my new “phone friend” as well as driving every one nuts by taking pictures with my lovely 6D 1.4 50mm combo in the kitchen…
Read MoreMore thoughts
I have to say I’m really enjoying this new little challenge that I’ve set myself. I haven’t quite managed a thought every day but I’m trying! So here are a few more thoughts…. If you have some words, thought or saying you’d like me to use just leave a comment at the bottom of the…

I follow a lot of pages on Facebook – from lifestyle and food to fitness and yoga. Most mornings when I log in my feed is full of motivational images and words, thoughts for the day and general messages for life. Many of these are great – especially when you are feeling a bit flat…
