Let's talk about camping. I've never been a camping girl, not before surgery or after really. My ideal camping is in a hotel room with a comfy bed, nice warm clean shower, functioning toilet and heat. I have recently been camping, for the second time in my life, but also, more importantly, for the first…
So I've done this thing...and in the worlds of one of mums favourite sayings; "Life begins at the end of your comfort zone" ~ Neale Donald Walsch This has sort of become quite a big thing for me, pushing myself to do things I wouldn't normally do, or things that scare me a bit, or…
Just quick one! Happy valentine's day all! I know we don't need a special day to show we care however it is nice to show that someone you love just a bit extra appreciation today. Something as simple as picking a flower on your way home, writing a note and leaving it for them somewhere,…
