From the point I started writing this blog I have expressed my views and opinions. They are never going to be 100% the same as maybe your ideas or beliefs and I’m sure you have good rationale behind how you think. But given this blog is about my midlife adventure, in all its diversities, I haveContinue reading “Navigating Midlife: Personal Opinions and Social Prejudice”

Embracing Freedom at Midlife
So why is this blog entitled “A Midlife Adventure” ? Well apart from the fact that I am in my “midlife” age-wise and utilise a lot of my free time to go on adventures, I also wanted to explore the term “midlife” and how it fits into society today. When is Midlife?Wikipedia says”midlife is theContinue reading “Embracing Freedom at Midlife”
Stop the World, Let Me Get Off!
Have you ever had that feeling where everything just seems to be overwhelming you and you want to just shout ” Stop The World, Let Me Get Off?”I remember being in the local play park as a child and sitting on the roundabout, while one of the bigger kids constantly grabbed one of the metalContinue reading “Stop the World, Let Me Get Off!”
Are UK Bed and Breakfasts Becoming Obsolete?
We recently decided to stay overnight having visited the county town of Monmouth. We had a wander around the town during the day, from which I have selected a few photos to accompany this post. We had a lovely lunch in a local garden centre and then checked into our Bed and Breakfast (BnB) beforeContinue reading “Are UK Bed and Breakfasts Becoming Obsolete?”
Making Sense of Life in Midlife
I’ve not posted anything onto my blog for nearly two months. My whole motivation has failed me, the words didn’t even accumulate in my brain much less make themselves to the page. I guess for a full time author/writer this must be what “writers’ block” feels like. It’s only now that I’m actually able toContinue reading “Making Sense of Life in Midlife”

Exploring the Christmas Markets in London
Day two of our visit to Essex led us to the train station at Stanford-Le-Hope and heading up to London. We had stupidly forgotten to use our railcard at the ticket office which would have saved us a third off our fare. If you live in the UK you probably know all about railcards butContinue reading “Exploring the Christmas Markets in London”
Exploring Buckingham Palace, The Reality and My Opinion
I initially wanted this post to be a bit like a travel log, sort of a “what to expect when you visit this Grand Palace” which stands at the centre of UK society. But my visit raised questions within me which I’ve not been able to exclude so I have included these within the textContinue reading “Exploring Buckingham Palace, The Reality and My Opinion”
Why Authentic Travel Beats All-Inclusive Holidays
I have already written a post outlining our thoughts on taking a holiday versus going travelling “Our Journey: From Holidays to Authentic Travel Experiences” and to be honest didn’t really imagine back then I would be writing a part two but here I am sat on a sofa in an apartment in Crete doing justContinue reading “Why Authentic Travel Beats All-Inclusive Holidays”
Should The Olympic Games Be Open To All Spectators?
Following on from last week’s post and as Los Angeles starts it’s four year focused preparation for 2028 I wanted to delve a little further into the games themselves and the idea of actually watching them live,It’s definitely on my bucket list to watch the Olympics live but is that really going to be possibleContinue reading “Should The Olympic Games Be Open To All Spectators?”
