Happy Mother’s Day

I hope you are all enjoying Mothers Day, either being spoilt or doing the spoiling. I’m feeling sad.. I didn’t get to see my mum today. She is currently going through chemo and her immune system is dangerously low, meaning any infection she could pick up could seriously affect her. So she is in quarantine…… Continue reading Happy Mother’s Day

Come fly with me

Daily Prompt: Share a story about the furthest you’ve ever travelled from home. A few years ago I used to work for a large airline as Cabin Crew.

Never Forget

In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved, and were loved, and now we lie   In…… Continue reading Never Forget

Cute on Sunday – what makes me smile..

I’ve been procrastinating, I can’t get motivated. The sun was at least out for a little bit today so I thought I’d take advantage of this and take some pictures.

I treated myself to a new book yesterday. I have been looking for something to help me improve my drawing, more specifically little doodles and sketches.
