When I decided to set up this blog I thought it would be so easy. After all I enjoy writing and how hard can it be to write about activities I’ve enjoyed, places I’ve been to or to express an opinion about something?The answer is Hard! Sometimes Very Hard! Why? Because even though I’m aContinue reading “Why Do I Struggle To Put Myself First?”

The Cotswolds -The Roman Town of Cirencester
I was recently visiting my daughter, who at the time was in Lincolnshire. Traversing across the country from West to East I found myself bypassing Leicester and then driving along the A46. This is weird I thought, the A46 runs from Bath to Stroud back in The Cotswolds from whence I have come? When IContinue reading “The Cotswolds -The Roman Town of Cirencester”
The Cotswolds – The Roman City of Bath Spa
When you reach midlife it’s hard to think of something you want to do on your birthday. We were suppose to be in Rome, a city I’ve visited twice before but hubby has never been to. However following the arthritis diagnosis (see previous post: New Year’s Resolutions Have Come Early This Year!) and having stillContinue reading “The Cotswolds – The Roman City of Bath Spa”
The Cotswolds -Stroud’s Five Valleys
When writing my last post I realised I was doing my home town an injustice by not talking about the wonderful five valleys that both surround it and for which it is partly famous. Condensing all this into a single narrative would again have been a disservice. The Cotswolds are full of beautiful hills, woods,Continue reading “The Cotswolds -Stroud’s Five Valleys”
The Cotswolds -Stroud Hometown Glory
Whilst trying my best to stay cheerful through another miserable English Winter I have continued to revisit local towns that would feature on most tourists’ list when in the Cotswolds. Swapping my viewpoint from one of being a local to that of a visitor, it’s interesting how differently you view what you often see asContinue reading “The Cotswolds -Stroud Hometown Glory”
Time Out -Should We Be Kinder To Ourselves?
I went to my first spa with two friends twelve years ago and yet I still remember that first experience. We were staying on site for a weekend in a lovely wooden chalet amongst the trees and the sights and sounds of nature. If this wasn’t enough of an escape, we also decided to bookContinue reading “Time Out -Should We Be Kinder To Ourselves?”
Are All Friendships For Life?
As Big Ben tolls, heralding the start of another New Year, I think we often reflect upon the past, the present and the future. We think about the people currently present in our lives; family, friends and maybe even work colleagues. It’s that time of year when we seek fresh beginnings and ponder whether thisContinue reading “Are All Friendships For Life?”
Christmas Shopping in Olde Worlde Lille
We visited Lille back in April of this year whilst doing a three month tour, by rail, of Western Europe and vowed to return -See my previous post “My New Friend Lille”.So here we are, having caught the Eurostar direct from London St Pancras into Lille Europe. Our hotel is within walking distance of theContinue reading “Christmas Shopping in Olde Worlde Lille”
New Year’s Resolutions Have Come Early This Year!
Do you make New Year’s Resolutions? Are you good at keeping them or do you wander off track within a couple of days, weeks or maybe months? I’m not fastidious at making them although in years gone by when my girlfriends and I met up for our annual Girls’ Christmas Weekend we would avidly discussContinue reading “New Year’s Resolutions Have Come Early This Year!”
Washington DC -What a Capital City!
I have been fortunate enough to visit many capital cities during my travels from London in the UK, to Rome in Italy, San Jose in Costa Rica, Georgetown in Grand Cayman and the list goes on but our visit to Washington stands out as being up there in my Top Three. Why I hear youContinue reading “Washington DC -What a Capital City!”
