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,…
What a start to the year... I have had an absolutely amazing time at home in England with my mum and sister over Christmas and New year, and as always, leaving was a pain!! On Sunday, the day of travel, I wake up with my ulcerous colitis blossoming up. My body was beyond exhausted, aching…

Berlin trip was brilliant! I just about survived, we didn't stress too much which was nice, and spent most of the time stopping to eat at various places so I got a fair bit of rest thankfully! And of course the main reason for the trip was to check out a bronze foundry so that…
All is not bright and shining in the life of Charlotte and the life of an ulcerous colitis sufferer, or rather I prefer UC Warrior! I started work a few weeks ago (Monday 8th January) as you know, and on the Wednesday as I was on the toilet doing my thing, also emptying my rectum…
Wow. I cannot believe it has been a year! Today marks the day! November 1st. What a year it has been. It's amazing to think what I have been able to do thanks to Stevie! So lets rewind a bit first. After an extremely tough month, or well months of no food, no sleep, a…
