Blogging From The Heart

I’m not a big blogger, I’m not a big influencer , I’m not a Nano influencer , I’m not a micro blogger.

I’m not instagram ready so free from the pressures of perfection yet I’m perfect in each and every way.

Blog to inspire and influence yourself and others from the heart.

But blog as you want to but I’ll tell you from experience it isn’t worth the headache from the pressure of trying to keep up and I blog as I wish and want to, very rarely there’s a sponsored post.Sometimes there’s a review post but 99 % of the time it’s little old me and my many many thoughts that pop into my head.There are cats in here , tea countryside and goodness knows what if it isn’t for you I’m not offended they’ll be something that is for you. 

This me this is what I like, I like observing and soaking in life’s moments like letting the sunshine dance upon my closed eyelids , thinking about which word I like for the day.I dislike giving opinions as I do find it quite hard to get my opinion across and I get all flustered but eventually I get there.Writing makes stuff easier you can say as little or as much as you like and it’s the bees knees and it’s magical.

I’m ready I’m here let’s do life.

I do have difficulties but hey ho I’m so very kind and I’ll do my very best for people .

Life is like a window you’ve got to look beyond what you initially see.

Charity Shops They Are Worth A Look

I’m always in charity shops either dropping off or buying various items , I certainly have a knack in finding the diamond in the rough.You would honestly be amazed at what I’ve found in charity shops from collectible china to Lacoste shoes.

Those there are my four pound Lacoste shoes not worn or maybe worn once  and taken off maybe as they squeak.But charity shops break joy heartfelt joy and I’m not just talking about the fact that I found Lacoste shoes that were only four pounds.

There was a elderly gentleman there with his daughter in the neighbouring cafe along with his little pet dog.And the daughter came into the charity shop to see if they had any blankets for sale.They didn’t have any for sale but they did have a dressing gown for sale which she could use as a blanket. It was one of two dressing gowns I’d previously donated.This made me very happy indeed as he could enjoy his cake and cup of tea in comfort.

Mini Break To Windsor and Osterley Park

On a whim we took ourselves to Osterley Park using some IHG points to stay at Holiday Inn Express Heathrow Terminal 5( Well we sorted it out a few days before but it was spur of the moment) I’ve funded though my plumber s holiday I’m sure through a new boiler and radiator work. Still instead of a long holiday I can invite people round and show them my new boiler and radiator work.

Holiday Inn Express terminal 5 is only a couple of miles from Windsor so we thought it would be ideal for our little mini break of a weekend as we are not having a main holiday this year ( joy of having a son studying at university ! ) Before we went to Windsor we went to Osterley Park which was about 12 miles from where we were stopping and it is a popular filming location having been used in a Batman film and Vanity Fair in fact it was being used for some feature film while we were visiting but we didn't see anyone famous.

Osterley Park is a neo classical house by Robert Adam with landscaped park and gardens.

Before you go to Windsor I would suggest downloading the parking app they have available.Having the parking app allows you to just pay for the time you use instead of guessing how long you’ll be.We parked at Romney lock car park and I challenge you to find a better view from a car park.

I would advise also to take your own food to Windsor and to also prebook your tickets and get there as early as possible as it really does get busy with tourists.

Tommy Turner's Battle For Yorintown A Young Readers Book

#Review #Ad


To place yourself back when you were young is not as hard as you think especially when it comes to reading books as they have the power to transport you both in time and age and this is what I love so much about books. This is what happened to myself when I was given the chance to review the book Battle for Yorintown by Tommy Turner , you do not need to worry when you read this book and you haven't read it for the start of the series and you think that you're not going to pick it up but you needn't worry if you read this book as the back story is filled in nicely as the story goes along.This book is ideal for those who are aged 8 to 12 or any age come to think about it.When you read this you're going to firmly strap yourself in for a wild ride as it is a fast pace book and you'll want to read it all in one go.

Nearly thirteen year Tommy is pulled into an adventure that he never expected on another planet where he has his hands full trying to save a planet where he had been before , not only has he got to save the planet but his friends as well he will face many grave dangers along the way.Tommy has to been the hero and pull everything together and this is a huge undertaking for one so young.


Within the book we see from the start the struggle between siblings where there is just a big enough age gap for it to be irksome to the older of the siblings!

"It's true Tommy Turner wanted another adventure , but he never expected to be headfirst into a bottle ! or to discover that, of all the creatures in the entire universe , only he can save an alien race from dying.He certainly didn't mean to time-travel with Uncle Harry and Digby to the great ancient Maya city of Pakatoka, where they must save themselves before they can find the pyramid with the secret chamber.But the fact is, when you're a tie traveller anything can happen ...."

A brilliant book for the summer holidays to lose yourself and have the best and most wonderful time of your life and leaving you yearning for more adventures ~ an inspiring and thoughtful read.

Book is written by Ali Seegar

Ways My Cat Is Like A Politician

A cat promises much much like a politician it makes all the right noises and never directly answers the question.Just like Bush with “ read my lips no new taxes “ You think you’re going to get a great deal and then your flowerbeds are not just dug up once but twice.An apology may be given but there’s never any true sincerity.

And also when asked if  they’re absolutely not plotting again a politician will answer “ no “ and will do completely the opposite with bells and whistles on top.

Cats are completely self absorbed like many a politician and will literally feather their own nest much to the despair of the bird population.

A cat like a politician will grab the headlines in any way they can.
