As I write this, I am sitting in an apartment in Kaikoura having a wee break away in our favourite place. Yesterday, my husband went for a long walk on The Peninsula Walk which is one we used to do together.

My happy place…
Do you have a ‘happy place’ or ‘happy thing’ that boosts your mood and makes you feel good? For me I have a couple that stand out. I love to do things for other people that put a smile on their face. Even when I was still quite early in my journey after my kneeContinue reading “My happy place…”

I had my grandchildren for the weekend, and we have had aContinue reading “If I had a time machine…”

Making Memories with those I love

Life is still busy, as I work four days a week in a busy stressful job, plus I have been doing my intensive four week exercise programme. However, I am trying to make a conscious effort to spend more time with family. Yesterday,Continue reading “Making Memories with those I love”
