Arborglyphs. A curious trait - humans have always found a way to leave their mark. It’s Valentines Weekend here in the UK and with a global pandemic all around us, it’s one like we’ve never known before. I’m in a privileged / complex situation of currently having no fixed abode and within government guidelines, I... Continue Reading →
Personal development journeys can start for various reasons and at different times in life. For me that time was when I was 50. Now you could say that this is a typical time for one to enter into a period of reflection, of re-evaluation, of reinvention even, but either way, that is when my journey... Continue Reading →
I have looked, several times over this last year, at possibly walking some of the Camino de Santiago. It seems such a lovely thing to do. Enpowering. An adventure. Cultural. A physical challenge. A mental challenge. Spiritual. But as yet, I have not done any more about making that possibility a reality. Ok maybe the... Continue Reading →
This week I have been renovating a chair that I have had for some years. It was one that waved at me from a second hand store, thrift shop, call it what you will. This little chair, a beech wood folding one, had long since lost its seat but none the less, Helen fell in... Continue Reading →

Hey! Me again. I know I don't post on here often enough but I plan on that changing over the next few weeks. An update. My house is on the market for rent. But as yet I've had no takers. I'm blaming Brexit here for the flat housing market (and much more) but don't get... Continue Reading →
Following on from 'me and the tortoise'... So here I am, it's January, a full eight months after I quit my job. A new year and time for some new adventures. Comfort zone? Eeeek..... I'm ramping it up and moving out of said place again. Now, for many of you, my mini adventures may seem... Continue Reading →
This morning I asked the universe for absolute clarity. And then within 2 hours I had a f**k it moment, a thunderbolt moment, an 'of course' moment, a what the heck moment. But I knew with absolute certainty What I should do. It wasn’t a big life changing f**k it moment. But it was a... Continue Reading →
Being creative is a wonderful thing. I really love to make things, I always have from a very young age and it is a big part of who I am. But does anyone else know the 'what’s the point' gremlin? When I’m in a positive head space I can easily think heck it doesn’t matter.... Continue Reading →
Living in the UK we are fortunate to be no further than 70 miles from a coastline. And Britain has the most glorious coastline and coastal paths. This weekend I walked a very small part of the West Somerset Coastal Path to take in some of the incredible views of the Bristol Channel. We left... Continue Reading →
Have you ever asked the universe for a sign? I have and love it. I really don't know how it works but it does for me. It's like having a loving hand giving yours a reassuring squeeze. Your sign can be anything you choose and probably best not to overthink it. It can be... Continue Reading →
Does sharing your life on social media kill face to face conversation? A curious observation. It was a while back when I began to notice that people at work, yes me included perhaps, were becoming less in the habit of asking, after a weekend off or holiday... “Oh how was your weekend/holiday/wedding/birthday party?” or whatever...
