Well, today I felt like doing something useful with my time, as I still have a very sore leg if I walk about too much. I decided to do some baking while my husband went for a nice long walk. Lucky bugger! So, this Nanna got out her Nanna’s recipes for shortbread and marshmallow cake.Continue reading “A Nanna baking day!”

Kia Kaha – stay strong
Kia kaha is a Māori phrase used by the people of New Zealand as an affirmation, meaning stay strong. As I write my Blog and put my thoughts and feelings down, I hope as always that those that follow me find some benefit in identifying with my journey. When I receive feedback from readers saying how much they appreciateContinue reading “Kia Kaha – stay strong”
I am a more emotional being since Parkies!
I think I have always been a reasonably emotional person but have noticed very much that since Parkies has come into my life, that I am definitely more so. Not that I wasn’t a caring person before, but I think that things matter so much more for me now. I have been a more prolificContinue reading “I am a more emotional being since Parkies!”
Collective Wisdom…
I found this definition of Collective Wisdom and I think it illustrates the point of this post very nicely. “Collective wisdom, also called group wisdom and co-intelligence, is shared knowledge arrived at by individuals and groups.” I went along to something that was referred to as a “Workshop” last night and I’m afraid it fellContinue reading “Collective Wisdom…”
Facing the future….
I’m not ready yet! As any of you will know that have read my Blog along the way, I very much try to live in the moment and not think too far ahead. Not an easy thing to do when you are a ‘planner’ like me. In many ways though, I am planning in theContinue reading “Facing the future….”
Invisible disabled access!

We decided a few weeks ago that we would have an early dinner before the show, so we weren’t either having empty or too full grumbling tums.Continue reading “Invisible disabled access!”
Your glowing screen offends me…
We had been looking forward to a concert by The Proclaimers and attended it last night. The concert was incredible, with lots of memorable songs that we all knew and some new ones from their latest album. However, there was one thing that really got on my nerves! Why is it that people think itsContinue reading “Your glowing screen offends me…”
I am grateful…
A Parkinson’s Facebook Page that I am on asked the question ‘what are you grateful for?’ One thing I love about that page is the sense of community and positivity that it gives us all. Sometimes, while we are working our way through life with a degenerative condition, it is all too easy to focusContinue reading “I am grateful…”
A life with purpose… what will I be remembered for?
I think I have always been someone who, from an early age wanted to help and support people. I have had a lots of ups and downs in life, both in relationships and with my health. I have had depression, I’ve recovered and I’ve headed towards depression again in this life. I am happy toContinue reading “A life with purpose… what will I be remembered for?”
A Baker’s cyst…
I have had enough of myself at the moment! My right leg is causing me constant pain and restricting my ability to walk. Just walking around the house is painful and almost beyond me right now, let alone trying to even think of going to the gym. It’s alright for my Physio or Doctor –Continue reading “A Baker’s cyst…”
