This is a paperweight that I was given by a friend many years ago and it has sat on my desk since. Growing up with three brothers who were older than me, they always had to share a room, while being the only girl I got a room all to myself! Lucky! Well, I haveContinue reading “Sing as though no-one can hear you….”

Sharing recipes for life…
I am sure many of you have done this. Been with friends or family and some gorgeous food is being served. Cakes, biscuits, desserts all filled with delicious ingredients, but the most important of those ingredients is love. Anything made with love and by someone we love, is always much more delicious because of it.Continue reading “Sharing recipes for life…”
Life is like a game of bowls….
I have just returned home from playing outdoor bowls for the afternoon. I always enjoy Saturday afternoon as it is a laid back ‘roll-up’ with no pressure or prizes. At the moment it is Winter Bowls where we pay an amount for the Winter season until the Summer Bowls start. Either that or $5, asContinue reading “Life is like a game of bowls….”
Learning my limits…
Having just returned from the big trip – eight weeks – to the UK and Italy, I reflected on what I had learned about myself. I definitely have learned to do a bit of a ‘stocktake’ if you like of what my resources look like before agreeing to do anything too physical. My stocktake mayContinue reading “Learning my limits…”

Well, The holiday already seems like a distant memory. This week will be my first day back in my previous routine. Husband is back to work yesterday and so we settle back into our normal lives.

I am currently coming to the end of an eight week tour of the UK and Europe, so this topic is close to my heart and my current experiences. Let me just say – before I get into this – I am not a designated ‘expert’ on Parkinson’s, but that I am an expert inContinue reading “Negative Neurologist – Travel is still possible, if you can adapt”
This is a post my husband didn’t think I should make…
A bit of a provocative title, I know. But, it is the truth. This post stems from a situation I have faced in recent times, that I never thought I would. For more than four years now, I have been very limited in the amount and types of exercise I could do. This is forContinue reading “This is a post my husband didn’t think I should make…”
Arrogant assumptions of electronic abilities
Wow! That’s a long title. I have spoken about this topic before in relation to the expectation that everyone can and will be able to access a computer. Here are some more thoughts sparked by a news item I caught the tail end of on television last night. The article in question was regarding LloydsContinue reading “Arrogant assumptions of electronic abilities”
The ‘Wobbly. Walker’ wobbles on..
Just the other day, my husband and I went to a stately home for a walk round it’s amazing gardens. They were stunning and we both thoroughly enjoyed seeing them. However, because of my Parkinson’s I didn’t feel as able to view as much of the garden as my husband did. I feel that whenContinue reading “The ‘Wobbly. Walker’ wobbles on..”
