30 life lessons by 30.

Well my birthday is Monday, at I’m the big three zero. I feel like I’m hit with a life lesson every week at the moment. 1. Life will keep surprising you: it seems like life will never be predictable. Whether it’s something bad lurking around the corner or something spectacular ready to jump out at...

Bucket list update : 98.Grow a vegetable.

I'm pretty impressed with myself ! I managed to grow a lot of potatoes. It was actually a bit of an accident I planted them as a joke and not long later I seemed to have endless potatoes. I like the idea of growing plants and vegetable but at times I am not very good...

Bucket list Update: 318. Go on a bike ride for the day.

I’m not a natural bike lover: in fact I’ve pretty much refused to touch a bike in the last ten years. I tend to spend all my time crashing into things. But my husband loves cycling and it’s something I real wanted to do with him. I also really want to do a triathlon and...

Bucket List Update: 86.Read 10 world changing , challenging, classical or controversial books.

These were my picks: 1.Catcher in the rye - J D Salinger. I read this in school and re read it as an adult. for some reason I really find this book a challenge - I find it vague and hard to concentrate on... but it is a great book . 2. Why I'm No...

Bucket list update: 360. Try digital illustration.

Okay so I’m not the next Walt Disney. But I’ve found my love of drawing again! I need more practice and a lot of improvement. Mostly I only draw dogs but you know; draw what you love! I love drawing, focusing on something; I’ve found a new love even if I’m not very good at...

Bucket list update: 394. Learn to use photo shop / edit photos .

Another lock down hobby! Because no pandemic is going to hold me back! I love taking pictures, I love nothing more than wondering around with my camera. Snapping pictures on dog walks, town visits, days out and day to day life. I’ve always wanted to be able to edit them and improve them. But I’ve...

Bucket list update: 274. Learn to cross stitch.

Just because there is a pandemic doesn’t mean you can’t cross things off your bucket list right?! (CROSS get it). Obviously I’ve been focusing on the small things while the world is in lockdown. Okay I’m not very good at cross stitching but I actually really enjoyed it! I’m a bit of a rusher so...

Hi, it’s been awhile.

It’s been awhile hasn’t it? I haven’t posted anything in ages… life has been …complicated, busy and full of the highs and lows life brings. I’ve wanted to sit down and write a few posts, commit my thoughts to digital paper but it hasn’t quite happened. Life has been good! But despite that I have...

The old Bucket list.

The “new” Bucket list is getting longer and longer. I have been crossing things off and adding more on. Everything I cross off, every new experience, leads me to find more things to add and more things to try. I started the list in 2017 and it’s brought me a lot of joy. It’s forced...
