When doorways are so much more

Glynllifon Park, Wales
There are many doorway’s we pass though in life. Sometimes they are lifechanging, a coming of age, of being, if you will. Whe we pass through some of them our lives may change in such a way when we get to the other side of them that we’d like to [...]

Glynliffon Manor

Glynllifon Park, Wales
I think the above image I took at Glynllifon Park, Wales, will appeal to anyone with a penchant for stately homes and residencies of the aristocracy….me, I just love it because it looks so grand and I was fortunate enough to stand there and gaze for a while and imagine all [...]

The trees have eyes…

Puppies Galore

I just had to share this with you, I recently took this photo of Mum’s new puppy, isn’t she just totally adorable? LOL!
Below is a pic of my dog, Bella and Mum’s dogs, Mollie and Hollie reluctantly sitting still for a moment…my pooches ears can barely be seen, I had to talk to all [...]

Creating havoc!

I know that some of you, like me, love handmade crafts yourself, whether that be that you have an appreciation of home crafted products or you like getting your hands stuck together with glue dots and ribbon!
I craft with a passion and it’s become one of the most enjoyable things I can do to [...]

I know most of my visitors are oustside of the UK, but for those in the UK I thought I’d just put this ‘out there’.
I’m selling my Olympus digital camera. Anyone in the market for purchasing a fabulous, excellent quality, second hand Olympus Camedia zoom, can email me at das.4u (@) yahoo.co.uk.
Though I purchased [...]

Cloudless skies

taken at Dinas, Wales
Was it really only two weeks ago that I returned from my holiday? With the grey clouds and drizzle here in my part of the world I need the above visual reminder so much right now!
In other news, I have a new post up in my Fit for Forty journal. [...]

Natures Way

I took this photo while on holiday recently, and though nature needs no jazzing-up, it seemed to be crying out for a scripture quote!

Journeying to Health

Perfect Housewives

I’m enthralled with a show on the TV called Anthea’s Perfect Housewives which features Anthea Turner, a lass from Stoke-on-Trent (my home town) who got into telly many moons ago after starting out her career in radio. I seem to recall she presented Top of the Pops and I also seem to remember that [...]

Chain Letter Love

I dislike emails that advise me to forward them in order to ‘receive an abundance of happiness’ or some such nonsense, they’re too much like chain-letters (perhaps they’re e-chain letters?) for my liking and I think they’re a lot of superstitious garbage.
It doesn’t happen very often but just now and then, when a friend perhaps [...]

3 word meme

I pilferred this from Many Little Blessings blog and thought it looked fun. All answers have to be given in three words, no more no less. Why not have a go at it yourself?

Doubting Thomas Believes at Last!

The picture that says all there is to say…

…but hey, this is me…which means there’s always more to say!

Today my Father became (or was affirmed – he was conditionally baptised) Catholic. Not unnoticed is the fact that this is Divine Mercy Sunday. What a beautiful day to profess a belief in God, and an [...]

Nature’s Gateway

There’s so much in this world that brings me to the realisation that I am small, though not insignificant, and that my God, is HUGE, though not removed from stooping low to lift me up! Nature in particular has this effect on me.
As I walked through Wales this past couple of weeks I remarked [...]

The Beached Whale

Landed back to earth with a bump today. Yesterday I was waving adios to Wales (the country not the fish) and today I was back at work in my part time job as a parish secretary. A friend, told me today that the comical postcard I sent her and her husband a couple of [...]

Back Home

I can’t believe that only a few hours ago I was in a beautiful snowdonian expanse of forrest, sea foam and slate. The actuality of my standing wet footed on welsh shores seem now a distant memory, hence the photo-evidence. Please don’t look too closely, I refuse to pay for pedicures and my [...]
