The POWER of NO! No, I’m not going to do it! That was my decision on Saturday afternoon about The Clawson 10K that I’d signed up to run several weeks ago. A trail run race across the beautiful Leicestershire countryside. Gareth had booked places for both of us, and I had thought that we were [...]
Why we should all embrace our inner ‘space man’ and be more like Sam! All hail, Sam Ryder – and the joy of Eurovision! Love it or loathe it, there is no disputing that Sam Ryder is an awesome ambassador for the UK – he has the most amazing voice (I went onto YouTube a few [...]
Say Hello, Wave Goodbye! I do love that Soft Cell song (referenced in the title) – this is the link to the official video in case you have no idea what I’m on about! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9KgEs3Zksg While this blog post isn’t about Marc Almond or Soft Cell, it is, however, about waving goodbye, finally, after 34 [...]
Running from Batman to cultivating the Good Life! What a weekend! My partner Gareth and I are definitely not ones to let the grass grow under our feet. In fact, I realised we are quite the opposite as I watched Gareth dig up and lift turf over the weekend to create a plot in readiness [...]

Synchronicity, books, and grabbing those opportunities that feel just right … For many years, I just lived my life without much curiosity, although that’s not to say that it held me back from doing things; far from it – I did lots! However, those were the years with my ex-husband, all 20 of them, and [...]
Now that’s what I call the best way to start the week! Blue skies and sunshine at the beach, a birthday, and a much-needed mini break! What a winning combination! I don’t know about you, but I just love getting away to the coast and being by the sea. I love the fresh, clean air, [...]
WTA… Return of the UTI and 10,000 all-time Harnessing Happiness downloads! As I was mulling over the topic of my blog post this week, all nature of things that have occurred since I last put the metaphorical ‘pen to paper’ sprung to mind. As a side note, I do so love using a fountain pen [...]
What the heck…? (Another few days of madness – and fun too!) If you read my post from last week, you’ll know that I have a habit of seizing the moment. While that’s certainly true, I do also have lots booked in my diary, and yes, I keep a ‘real’ paper diary; I like to [...]
