The Digital Dance

I  think in all the blogging whirl I have forgotten my roots and the people I started with. I think that needs to change * why follow the herd. Just because I am no longer flavour of the month in 'some ' quarters. You can get sucked in and be the blogging bunny in the headlights. I have forgotten how I started but not why and you might think that the early posts I did have a naivety about them but you know what I think that was an innocence that was lost . You can be quite mournful of what you have lost ,as you do the digital dance and the hard cold fact is that it is a digital dance that can spiral out of control. This however doesn't have to have the alarm bells ringing you can bring yourself back on track that's what friends are for.


I am most glad of the fiends / friends ( I mean of course ) that I've got and the opportunities that have come my way . How refreshing it is to breath the clean air and realise where I can take my blog and more importantly myself.

Power Slide Into Your Age

So you are counting down to 30 or even 40 well jolly good for you , I am sliding towards the age of heated foot warmers , life insurances emails , and more emails like "stair lifts have you planned for this" Stop just stop . I refuse to be old before my time I really do  and when I saw a local undertakers were doing glitter coffin that really took the biscuit , they even had an open day where you could take a trip in a horse drawn hearse.


So this is the year in which I am 43 and I am not liking it one little bit , there seems to something glam about turning 30 and 40 , When you hit 41 that is still ok as you are in the vespers of being 40 still and you are jolly with it.

You can have your cake and eat it too ~ a moment on a lips a lifetime on the hips. Trouble is there is quite a few moments at the minute ....

The Promise Of Autumn

Sometimes just because 

And Autumn has so much promise I can't wait to capture...

Washington D.C Butterflies

When We went to Washington D . C in the summer one of the museums we visited ( psssst all of  Washington Smithsonian museums are free all thanks to an Englishman !)

The exhibition to the butterflies was a payable extra at $ 6 I think it was . I did this on my own and it's where my husband and son went off to look at the rest of the museum.

Butterflies are so sweet who doesn't love 

It when they flutter by ...

It was $6 well spent to see such beauty at close call.

I could have easily spent all day there with the myriad of colour.
