  • Finishing off 2024

  • Half way into 2024

    At the end of every year and then the beginning of the next year, I always say to myself, I must blog more! If I blogged as frequently as I thought about blogging, I would have at least one post a month. Sadly I see something shiney and then minutes, hours, days later I think…

  • 2023 Wrapped Up and Done

    Another year almost down, the older I get the shorter each year seems to feel. Ok, thats absolutely not true (but true). Jan-Mar always feels like a drag and you think, ‘when will this year end’.

    The round up over 2019, the good, the bad, the sick and the immense personal growth.

  • New home, new problems

    is what Ive put on my whiteboard in my kitchen and it is incredibly apt. I generally adore my home but equally there are sometimes where I wonder if its purposely testing what tiny amount of patience I have.  I can laugh at a lot of experiences Ive had with the house. In the Netherlands,…

  • Moving house and adulting

    This year,  has been crazy busy… thats my excuse for not blogging. I have had a few messages of disappointment at my distinct lack of blogging. I can always trust my friends to harass me and put me back on the right path!  Having said that, so much has happened in the last 5 months…
