Bright Life! Bright Life!
Hello, my little lightbulbs! I hope that your week is going well! How are you feeling today? How present have you been today? How much time have you spent in the moment, not thinking of the past or worrying about the future? Do you feel checked into or checked out of your body right now? [...]
Hello, my little lightbulbs! How are we doing? In my last post, I told you about my recent trip to Amsterdam. I also, in that post, promised to tell you more about a few of the places I decided to eat in during my short two-night stay! I’m big into my cafes, and finding good [...]
Before moving back to the UK from Japan in 2020, one of the ways that I consoled myself was by promising to visit some countries in Europe. I hadn't done much travelling in Europe and it was a good way to keep my independent and adventurous streak alive and in touch. However, I, like most [...]
Hello, my little lightbulb! I hope that you’re doing well and feeling grounded. Something happened to me this week that left me feeling quite uprooted. My car was stolen on Tuesday night, which I discovered on Wednesday morning when I went to pick up my car in Rainhill, to find only an empty car park. [...]
Last Sunday I headed out to Beeston Castle with the famalam. My work-life balance has been absolutely shocking lately and it was absolutely essential for me to get out and not think about teaching and lesson plans for a while. With my Tudor Gothic module coming to an end, I was craving some Gothic vibes; [...]
Hello there my little lightbulbs! I’m back in the UK after spending a couple of months in Guernsey, a small island between the UK and France (not a town near London like I originally thought). What started as a short visit blossomed into a longer working holiday. I got a job as a bartender, travelled [...]
On Sunday 25th July I attended my first ever flower show in the UK. That's it, I am officially an 80 year old in a 24 year old’s body. Seriously though, this is something I’d been meaning to try for age, since my mum had brought me up with her love of gardening and recurring [...]
2020 has been a difficult one; quite sh*** if we're being honest. It was stressful and isolating for many people. That said there were some ups and downs outside of COVID-19, even if they were in some way influenced by it and now that were nuzzling into 2021 I want to look back! LIST 52/52: [...]
Hello, hello! It’s been a while right?! I took a little unannounced mental health break from blogging (and largely from social media) to help me adjust to the big move home and after being home for over a month, I think I'm ready to get back to it! On one of my many walks since [...]
I’m writing this post by hot-spotting the data from my phone to my laptop, in my car, which I’ve parked in one of the few areas in the town with a connection. This post isn’t going to be my best and I’m sure it’s going to be full of typos and it's lacking images, so [...]
