My History of Vegas:I had last visited the “City of Sin’ ten years previously with my two children whilst still a single Mum. It had been part of a bigger trip when I had taken a month off my career to celebrate key milestone birthdays that we were all experiencing in the same year. MyContinue reading “Las Vegas: From Sin City to Sophisticated Getaway”

Time is Our Most Precious Commodity
Time is our greatest gift, we cannot buy any more of it but we can waste it, give it away to people who maybe don’t deserve it. We are all guilty of thinking we have time, time to do everything we want to, time to tell our loved ones how we feel, time to rekindleContinue reading “Time is Our Most Precious Commodity”
Impressions of Chicago
What does the third largest city in the USA have to offer? These are my impressions: O’Hare International airport ( the sixth busiest worldwide) is inconveniently nearly 20 miles from Downtown. A journey that is made harder by major roadworks which will last until 2025 according to our taxi driver! It’s not cheap either costingContinue reading “Impressions of Chicago”
Touring Western Europe -Brussels -Discovering the Facts About The European Union
We left my new friend Lille (see previous post) last Saturday and travelled north east to Brussels. The capital of Belgium since the country became independent in 1830, with a population just over 2 million, one tenth of the size of Greater London and since 1958 the seat of the European Economic Community, the precursorContinue reading “Touring Western Europe -Brussels -Discovering the Facts About The European Union”

Coincidentally this weekend an article was printed byContinue reading “Touring Western Europe -France – This Is The Climax of Prejudice”
Touring Western Europe -Spain -Barcelona Has Sold It’s Soul!
I would normally be sat here writing about our adventures in Barcelona rather than an opinion piece. We had arrived here by train from Valencia on Monday and settled into our Air BnB late afternoon with a view of La Sagrada Familia from our balcony. I guess this is still an adventure but it’s hardContinue reading “Touring Western Europe -Spain -Barcelona Has Sold It’s Soul!”
Prince Harry-Journalism vs Reality
Phil and I are both avid readers. Here we are three weeks and 4 days into our West European adventure and we haven’t watched television once. This year to date I’ve read 23 books and one of the latest is “Spare”. I had purposely not bought it before we left the UK because I knewContinue reading “Prince Harry-Journalism vs Reality”
Opinion -Sex Discrimination
Basing my opinion on my own life experience includes experiencing sexual discrimination. During my 30 year career I worked in a male dominated, customer facing industry where you worked mainly 4 days out of 7, on a rota you devised yourself, ensuring you delivered the needs of the business. We worked shifts of anything fromContinue reading “Opinion -Sex Discrimination”
