A whole new world!

It’s amazing what can happen when you face your fears and push through the panic that’s been holding you back for years. On our recent holiday in Corfu, that’s exactly what I did! I’ve been petrified of putting my face in the water whilst swimming, for years. Ever since I was little and having taken…

Holiday Heaven

I’ve just come back from one of the best holidays I’ve ever had. Ian and I have never spent so much time together in the whole 24 years we’ve been together and amazingly we are still talking! Okay so I’m always talking, but he’s still there to hear it. We joined my Sister-in-law Judy and…

Living the dream.

I can’t begin to tell you how happy I am right now. For once all the elements that make up what’s important to me are working really well and I am feeling on top of the world. Micky my son, has just celebrated his 28th Birthday and I’m so proud of the man he has…

From Beatles to Crocodiles

From Beatles to Crocodiles

This has certainly been a week of new experiences! It all started with a fantastic opportunity to sing and record at the famous Abbey Road studios. Yes the very studios where the Beatles recorded so many of their legendary songs that still live on today! Singing Hey Jude (in the famous studio they used) as…

Positive energy

I have to be honest, I really didn’t fancy my run this morning. I was tired, I’d been on an early shift all week, so had less sleep, my Fitbit was impressed with my many, many steps just from a normal day at work and as my oh so lovely (yet honest) hubby pointed out,…

Spontaneous excertion

Well on our latest Sunday power walk Julie and I decided to be spontaneous. Actually I’ll be honest it was the last two. The first time couldn’t even be classed as a power walk. It was more of a Sunday afternoon stroll with a spontaneous trip to the pub thrown in for good measure (in…

On a mission!

Well since my holiday trying to get back to normal has felt like a nigh on impossible task. Since the start of this week though, I’ve been on a mission to get jiggy with it and get myself back in to gear. All good coaches have coaches and I am no exception, but with my…

Seize the Day

Despite a rather bad nights sleep and awful weather, I woke up yesterday morning determined to seize the day. Lying in bed, thinking about the fact I will be in a plane this time in two weeks time certainly helped. ( I must maintain my beach ready body.) So an hour later I was power-walking…

Ups and Downs

I would love to say this has been a great week, but it hasn’t. For some reason anxiety and over thinking things came along with a vengeance, and frustration with a situation I seem unable to control has definately gotten the better of me. Or a least it had until today! Yeah, I’m back on…

Phew!

Well its certainly been a while since I last updated my blog. To say its been busy is an understatement! I had a week off from my day job and boy did I put it to good use. Where do I start? I finally decorated my, sorry ‘our’ bedroom, turning it from a multifunctioning, dark…
