oh no!

Today is a ‘TREADING ON EGGSHELLS’ day. I don’t know why, I just feel really anxious, everything I say is misconstrued and I have an impending sense of doom.

I best sign off before this is misconstrued!

Thanks fornreading

A relaxing week.

Just got back from our annual holiday. We decided to give Cornwall a miss this year and took a week to explore Amsterdam.

Amsterdam is both cultured and relaxed, I absolutely loved the cafe culture, blessed with amazing weather and my family, I feel very lucky.

I’ll make a start on the washing tomorrow, promise!

Rijks Museum, Amsterdam

Went to the Rijks Museum, Amsterdam, today. This museum has been closed for 10 years due to refurbishment and only opened 2 months ago.
The building on its own is a masterpiece; truly stunning.
Inside is equally as beautiful, every inch of masonry has been hand painted in the minutest of detail. Glance upto the ceiling and once again…absolutely awe inspiring!
I haven’t even mentioned the paintings!

Very humbling!

Just got back from visiting Anne Frank’s house. I’ve waited years to see it and I wasn’t let down. Very tastefully preserved. 

It’s…

Normal to be weird and weird to be normal!

Are you sure it’s the 12th?

Today must be Friday 13th! It can’t be anything else. I would probably say it has been the most challenging day emotionally. I feel as though I have nothing more to give. I only need to say one thing and I’m sure you’ll all be on the same page as me…are you ready for it?

KIDS!

Not a clue!

Well here I go…blogging for the first time. I haven’t a clue why I’m doing this; not sure any one will even read it!

I’m a 53 year old mother who seems to have lost her identity. Don’t get me wrong, I love being a mother and I love my children to bits, but now that they’ve nearly flown the nest…who am I?

I haven’t much going for me, battling with weight, continually having to have my teeth stuck in as they are constantly falling out. My hair is turning grey around the temples (must touch up tonight) but inside I still want to run through the sand, dance on the tables and feel alive.

Why can’t I?
