I recently decided I need to write more. Well, it makes sense really, if I am going to become a writer, I need to write more! I sat there wondering how I was actually going to do this and realised that I had missed something so obvious that it came up and slapped me square… Continue reading Two years, has it really been that long!

Working from Home (well sort of!)
Everything is strange at the moment and there is a new normal! I can't believe that those two words could be put together to describe something. I don't really believe in normal because we are all different anyway but in this case, it is something that we really need to get use to. Whether that… Continue reading Working from Home (well sort of!)
These trying times
A question for you: How are you? In these trying times it's important to make sure that you are ok and that you are staying safe.

It’s been a year
It has been a year now since my father passed away. I go to his grave on a regular basis to put flowers there and I find that helps me. When I leave the house on my way to the grave, I ask my father to sort the weather out (which being in Wales, 9… Continue reading It’s been a year
Mature Student!
Well I'm just over half way through the first year on my Arts and Humanities degree and I'm actually quite enjoying it.

I am currently in the second part of my first year and really enjoying it.… Continue reading It’s been a while (2 years to be precise!)

He still keeps telling me that… Continue reading Changing direction
Nobody cares about the Decorator
As you have seen in my last blogĀ 'A week off', Kev and I were suppose to have a week off work together but life decided to get in the way. Kev had to find work quickly, which thankfully happened. A customer saw the advert and rang to book him (I know, nobody talks to each… Continue reading Nobody cares about the Decorator
A week off
I decided in December that I was going to take Valentine's week off. The first reason for this was I really needed a break! I hadn't had a week off work since October and I was starting to feel the strain. The second and most important reason was it was Valentine Week! I am a… Continue reading A week off
When it rains, it pours!
Being from the beautiful country of Wales, raining is something I am use to because the reason my little green and pleasant land is green is because of the amount of rain we get! This little story however has a little bit to do with the weather but more to do with how life tests… Continue reading When it rains, it pours!
