“Welcome to Italy!”
Here we are today, our first full day in Italy. We arrived last night after a flight of approximately 1.5 hours from Gatwick Airport in London. We then arrived in Italy and proceeded to go through the fiasco – I think that might be a word of Italian invention – of trying to enter the…

We are now about two weeks into our UK adventure. Most of this time has been spent with family, one way or another. We have caught up with my husband’s sister and her husband, our niece and nephew and their other halves and met a newcomer and got to meet other young ones after an…

Lucky me, I started yesterday with a head cold. Isn’t it strange how one night you can go to bed feeling fine and then wake up in the morning sneezing or coughing, or both! So, that’s me. Started yesterday and so don’t like my chances of recording any sort of podcast. There’s enough to contend…

Hello all, we are currently on our big UK trip, which in total means we are going to be away for eight weeks all up. We have been here about a week, settling in and getting over our jetlag. Starting to feel a bit more normal and able to enjoy doing a few things. We…

Yesterday I posted about my nervousness at meeting up with family. As predicted, I did have a bit of trouble keeping in the conversations due to a bit of a lag in my processing. Not a biggee and I don’t think it was overly noticeable. It was lovely to catch up and hear what has…

Keep readingTravelling and unravelling?
This is the first week of travelling to the UK for our first trip here in three years. I am noticing some changes to how I feel and function since the previous trip. While relatively minor, they still need to be acknowledged and worked through as best I can. It has been nearly six years…

We are currently at the beginning of our trip to the UK, having checked into a Hotel in Singapore. To while away the time, I have watched various series on the plane, one of which was called “Shrinking” alluding to – it appears – to the main characters working as “Shrinks” or Psychologists. I was…

It is Tuesday today and in three days time, 1/5/26 we will be jetting off on our UK and Europe adventures. We have been over maybe three or four times to see relatives and friends and also to have some adventures just the two of us. We have to space out our trips and usually…

Those of you who follow me, may have seen a post about my accident in my car on Tuesday last week. A brief summary if you have not. I was out with my husband doing some errands and out for a coffee, when driving down the main street, I spied an empty Disability Parking space.…
