  • Friendly Friday: Something Different

    The Friendly Friday Challenge is now a fortnightly challenge co-hosted by Amanda from Something to Ponder About and Sandy from The Sandy Chronicles. Different often has a bad undertone to it. It’s almost disapproving. How dare it be something different! That cannot possibly be. It doesn’t fit my understanding of the world and my stereotypes and I am…

  • Hello 2021

    Happy New Year Everyone! I rang in the New Year asleep as I normally do. Staying up late is just not my thing and I don’t want to start the New Year feeling slugish. It’s so ironic that we want to start the year fresh, motivated with our New Year resolutions yet there’s such a…

  • 12 Month Blogging Reflection

    If anyone says that blogging is easy, don’t believe them. I’ve certainty placed a lot of pressure on myself to post regularly and it really helped with getting me to write and edit even when I just felt like watching Netflix. I’ve gone through times when my brain was like a desert to other times…

  • Blogmas 2020- Day 23: End Of Blogmas

    It is the end of my blogmas! That was harder than I thought it would be and I now know why bloggers are drafting blog posts well in advance of December. But here we are, a few days out from Christmas. I hope you’re in the full swing of the Christmas spirit. I’ve been decking…

  • Blogmas 2020- Day 15: Christmas Flavours

    Welcome to Day 15 of Blogmas (and December, what??). Are you a fan of Christmas flavours? The cinnamon, cloves and candied fruits? Nothing excites me more than seeing the Christmas decorations go up at the shopping centres in November. This means that the shelves will soon have panettone, stollen and fruit cake. I’m just a…

  • Friendly Friday Photo Challenge – Whilst Walking

    I’m joining in this week’s Friendly Friday Photo Challenge from Amanda’s blog. I try to have a walk every day to get in my exercise as sitting all day in front of the computer doesn’t do anything for the waistline or shoulders. I take my phone on my walks, as you never know what you’ll…

  • 6 Month Blogging Reflection

    It’s been 6 months since I started writing regularly again. I’ve had a post written almost every week and I actually can’t believe I have thought about enough topics to write about. I started off initially wanting to write only about travel. But, as you all know what happend this year- I don’t think it’s…

  • New Year 2020 Vision

    I know this blog has not been active in a few years but hey, a new year resolution starts strongest at the beginning of the year. What drew me back was the writing and the thinking all whilst on a topic that I love: travel! I also really like looking back at my pictures which…
