INSTAGRAM VS BLOGGING

It's been a while I know and I know I said it wouldn't be. Time flies when you're having fun as they say.

I've been on Instagram for quite a few years and loved it for a good few of those years.  I had noticed recently that more and more people were taking breaks from it for various reasons and at that time I was more than happy to carry on using it. 

I KNOW I SAID I WOULD POST REGULARLY BUT........

Oh my goodness, where has the time gone? July 2017 was when I wrote my last post and I said I wouldn't leave it so long but here I am nearly nine months later saying the same thing again!

Anyway, lots has happened since then. Christmas came and went, as it does, and soon after my husband and I went to New York to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary. 

I'M BACK!

I honestly do not know where those past three years have gone. I know I said I was going to blog more back then and that never happened, but this time I'm back for good!

For those of you who followed me back then, thank you for hanging around and those of you who are just joining me....welcome!

Let me tell you a bit about myself.

A BIT OF A JOLLY

 Back in May this year my daughter and I attended the notonthehighstreet.com annual Make, Do, Meet event in London. This year it was on the South Bank right beside the Thames. 

We were greeted in the entrance by these fantastic letters. I'd love some of these at home!

Spotted on a display board on our way around was a photo of me when I won the 'Start Up Success Award' in 2011.  Couldn't resist a photo opportunity!

I WOULD WALK 500 MILES!

Back in April we went to Derbyshire for the Easter weekend. Our son has been living in Derby for the past year during his intern year.  He often goes on long walks in the peak district with friends and had told us how amazing the scenery was. We decided it was time to see for ourselves.

We stayed in a little village called Bradwell in a flat over a Doctors surgery. It had recently been modernised and was ideal for what we wanted.
