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…

Santorini summer day 8 and 9

Sorry for the lack of a blog yesterday. We had an early start for a visit to beautiful Oia. More about that later… Wednesday was an incredible day for sport, with England being in the first world semi final for 28 years.

Santorini summer: Day 5

Yesterday for some reason we were all more tired than usual. Maybe just being a Sunday makes you immediatley more lethargic. Or maybe it was the excitement and possibly alcohol from the night before.

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…

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…
