Bletchley Park The Enigma You’ll Return To

We are always at Bletchley Park as it is really a firm family favourite as a visit and it’s super easy to get to.Uni son is studying archaeology up at York and he’s preparing his dissertation for next year on Bletchley Park.He is putting a jolly lot of hardworking into his study and is certainly earning the countless tins of beans we take up to him well I don't want him to starve.

There is much much to see and do here it’s a really accessible place though the huts might be a little narrow in places.Theres a guide you can take to help you navigate round the place as well as it giving you information about what took place at Bletchley Park.If you haven't seen The Imitation Game then that is a very good starting point to the important work that took here by all the ladies and gentlemen during the war.

There is plenty to do there for children and there is even a very good playground where they can let off steam , also you can eat there or bring your own sandwiches there are plenty of levelly places round Bletchley Park to have a picnic without tripping over people.There is of course the essential gift shop where you can buy everything from a pencil to a bottle of Gin what trip isn't complete without a bottle of Gin !

And encourage a love of history from an early and you never know where it will lead them.

Sponge Bakwell Tart From Sponge

#AD


There is nothing I like better than visiting National Trust properties with my husband , it is our escape and our relax from the complexities of life.

Now more often than it not we do take our own picnic with us sandwiches and such and there is nothing finer than a picnic afternoon tea it is the bees knees and you feel like the cat that got the cream.I was lucky enough to be sent cake I mean cake in the post what isn't there to love.Now I have sent my son a cake card before when he had his first birthday away from home ( sniff ) so I sent him a cake card.Spongecake kindly sent me a large Bakewell Tart cake which I did not eat all in one seating!.


Did you know you can freeze their cakes thus extending the joy cake and a cup of tea brings ,I say cake always always has to be served with a cup of tea there is no debate to this I am afraid coffee lovers !

A Bakewell Tart cake from Sponge for 8 people is £13.50 delivered while the same cake for 16 people will cost £22 pounds and there extra embellishments you can pay for is you so desire includes a cake topper, card etc and other gifts.

The What Ifs Of A Woman

The what ifs of a woman and there are many trust me some of which I can type some of those you’ll find else where but not in my blog !The what ifs of today were what if I didn’t suddenly have nose hair making a bolt for freedom making me looking some sort of dictator or Blakey off the buses .Possibly some of what I’m saying you’ll have to google and good luck on that blackhole.

What if I had graceful hands ? would my life be any better other than hand modelling and trust me that’s a thing.I’ve always thought my fingers looked like left over sausages at the butchers.But we are who we are occasionally I do go for a facial at the local beauty college and they assure me I have nice skin .

But we don’t have our personalities on a label do we now on the back of our heads like washing instructions.

What if my hair didn’t look like I had been in a boxing match with a hedgehog , well it didn’t on Monday as I had it cut and blow dried but hairdressers are wizards and witches of hair.I did say to someone that my hair wouldn’t look like this again without help.I can’t click my fingers and have a team of hair stylists come rescue me.

What if my eyebrows didn’t look like a hairy caterpillar on a rave ? I sometimes do have them done but none of this permanently surprised look like a police mugshot.

What if I didn’t look like Mystic Meg every time I took a picture of myself ?

But you can take your what ifs and leave them at the door for I will run free and have fun in life just so long as I don’t trip over my nasal hair...

Celebrate Trees Don’t Destroy Trees

Earlier it was just me the crows and the crickets as I  waltzed back from speech therapy.I spied the prettiest willow herb putting on the best fashion show I’ve ever seen.I forgot to salute a magpie so now I’m sorry the world is going to end.

And trees they’re wonderful aren’t they all majestic what their size but we mustn’t disrespect them and hurt them.

We don’t deserve trees if this is what mindless folk are going to do to them.Trees are the heroes/heroines we need and should be celebrated.

I love trees they’re the best and I wouldn’t ever want a world without trees.

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.
