Jose and his band Guateque had everyone up on their feet..They were incredible, the music was pure cuban showing the real roots to cuban salsa, i swear i could still hear the beat in my my head when i was trying to sleep.
We were treated to a performance of Jose dancing with Pat and Sharon from Dance Cuban
My god he is so good, the enjoyment spread as soon as you saw how happy this guy was when he danced, when you enjoy something that much it certainly shows, we all loved it.
There was a great bunch of people there, rueda on one floor regaetton on the other , The Staithe was packed with people all making the most of our taste of Cuba, it really was a very special night.
I had amazing dances with Barry, Ralph and my fella of course and came home very happily singing my head off !
This morning im on a high with a head that feels like a bongo but smiling away to myself..
I bet next time theres an event on as good as this, my fella will make sure im driving!
I cant have a holiday this year i know, but last night made me realise i dont need one when salsa is this good !
Cuba came to us last night..............................................
Its been a really good couple of days since the fire walk, im still on a high and am not taking my arm band off they gave me, its inspiring..lol
We went to the Keir Hardie afterwards, me smelling of bonfires instead of Eternity but we had such a good night and decided to make the most of it, so apologies to you fellas that i danced with, it didn't half make me feel positive i forgot about my nerves and just went for it ...lol
Monday was riding, i had to take Lauren first for her lesson then back for a quick cuppa and off again for mine, what a brilliant night, I got the naughty horse again 'Billy' but he didn't leave the tantrum til he got into the arena, he started as soon as i got on him, biting the poor girl who was adjusting my stirrups.. ears back all night, i had to keep him away from the other horses as he didn't like them either.. what a character ! hes like Paris Hilton and believes hes too good for the rest of us... I bet shes easier to ride than Billy too ! lol
I did keep my positive mind frame which seemed to work well, except its not so easy to canter when your horse stands facing the wall pretending hes not there, so i went for another approach and sung to him... I don't know anything else that makes people move as quick as my voice, within one verse and my lot are out of the house and gone, so i wanted to see if Billy agreed with them, he did ! so for next weeks lesson ill try singing some rock and hope it makes him move a bit faster ! im determined to get canter on him... I love the horse and find him strangely amusing as hes so obstinate... like most guys then ( i just said to myself)...lol
Tuesday night we went off salsaing to see Sharon and Richard in Acle which i thoroughly enjoyed, i thought at some point i may want to slow down with the dancing but it honestly gets worse the more you do the more you want to...
Tomorrow its Stalham and salsa again and my favorite night of the week, its like being on holiday up there you come home eat the fridge and finish the day on a high..Paul shares his dinner with me so i even get fed !
Friday im doing photos for dresses and working that night and then Saturday its the dance Cuban party !! oh my word am i looking forward to this one..
Jose and his band are hitting the Staithe in Stalham so its going to be a night of not only great dancing but brilliant live music, top that off with a few wonderful mojitos (steves driving i got the -its your turn to drink straw!) and you know its gonna be one of those nights thats totally unmissable..
I cant wait...
For details of times and tickets see Richards site in my favourites bar.. >>
Ive made some brilliant friends in the dance world and as its Richards Birthday tomorrow we can all celebrate together the Cuban way- Havana night to remember at our little Cuba in Stalham ..
Last night was the night of the firewalk and board break challenge for Brian Gunn 'kids leukaemia fund' To say i wasn't nervous would be lying, It was a mix of nerves , excitement and not knowing if i could really do this.. I wanted to as its been something Ive always wanted to try but when you are standing there in front of a cheering crowd the nerves do kick in...
We started the night 2 hours earlier than the spectators were asked to come, and were taken to a room in the forum where we all spent 2 hours being educated in the art of belief and self confidence, even then i could feel the nerves setting in.. My fella had asked me NOT to do the board break, he was only thinking about me, i broke my arm a couple of months back and its only just getting back to normal, so smacking an inch think bit of ply isn't really what it needed, so id promised him i would explain about my bones and avoid that one....lol Little did i know.. Part of the talk was about when your mind thinks of something, its because it wants to do it, we have the capabilities to do it, its usually because we worry we don't try, that i can speak from experience and understand fully.... The question was if your house was on fire and you knew there was a tenner on the table would you go in to get the tenner? no of course not.. Now ask the same question and instead of the tenner your son/daughter/husband/sister was in there...... would you then ? yes, whatever the risk you would do as you love and care about them ... So if you have a dream or a wish theres no reason that you cant do something, its simply a matter of believing you can do it and not thinking anything else..
We spent time asking ourselves questions that i already knew the answers to, i have those feelings that i want to do more, its just sometimes i hold myself back with feelings that i cant.. Last night was the start of me digging that bit deeper now, when i know what i want to do i have to put my mind to it and simply go for it....... Brian Gunn was at the seminar and was supporting us all throughout the talk , which meant alot as we were all there to raise money for his fund and help these poor kids and parents that leukaemia touches into their lives, we never know if its one of our family one day that this money will help. After the lecture was over we were all so hyped up and positive, so much of what Tosin said is exactly what my fellas been saying from day one, he believes your mind controls everything so to hear someone else with that positive mind frame just set in stone what i already knew and hoped was right, we all get bad days and indeed bad luck, but its how we choose to deal with it that can make all the difference..
When we had finished the www.Tosinfirewalker.com motivation talk we were all asked to choose a board, i picked up mine and nervously thought of Steve, he was outside waiting and i wished he could have been in that room he would have known then i had no choice in this, i had to write on that board the one thing i wanted to take home from the firewalk, so i wrote down confidence... that's where i wanted to grow, that if i knew i could do something i would be confident enough to do it and not think of the million reasons why i shouldn't... I put it down to knock backs last year and the past shouldn't affect what could come tomorrow its a negative thing and one i want to get shot of..
Out we all marched into the night air you could smell the fire, we had lit that fire before we went in for the talk so it was burning brightly, the energy that talk gave us must have showed as we all marched out with huge smiles chanting away with our boards in hand.. which was the one part of the night that worried me.. I wanted to break that board and break that barrier i had with those words scribbled in Marker pen across it..
It came to my turn to do the board break and all i could think of was Steve's words, your arms not strong so i think i already knew it wasn't going to happen before the guy held it up.. I DID hit that board as hard as i could but it didn't break, so i went again and again, each time feeling more defeated, Tosin knew as he stopped me and told me to stand there for a couple of mins and compose, he was so kind bless and whispered it was because i didn't believe my arm was capable... he was right..
I stood there watching the others break their boards each time telling myself i really want to do this so when the next slot came i went back up, this time using my left arm .. im right handed usually but what Louise and Tosin said made sense , i saw my arm as not capable and didn't believe i could do it.. that's why i couldn't.. He counted me back in but this time i was determined , it wasn't like the first attempt i knew the board was beating me and had to break it.........
I have never felt that happy since bringing home the kids from the special care unit, i hurled myself at Tosin and gave him a huge hug, i didn't even feel the hit so i must have got it right ! that board came home with me and will be hung up somewhere now, so if i get back that feeling of doubt in myself i will just think back to last night and snap out of it..
Next came the part of the night we were all there to do, the firewalk !
My god was i excited..lol
Id already done one thing i didn't think was possible so this to me was the icing on the cake, to be able to say Ive walked across burning hot coals and didn't feel a thing is incredible..
I didn't look down instead chanted convincing myself it was 'cold moss' with every step and it wasn't til id done it i realised my feet never got hot ! my head and neck was but my feet were black from the coals but stone cold....lol
Im not going to analyse why or how, I'm just gonna take this feeling with me and remember how i felt when i accomplished this..
I didn't come home with burnt feet instead i came home with such a great feeling and belief in why i did the walk and what i gained from it..
Together with your sponsorship and support Ive managed to raise £307.00 for Brian Gunn's kids charity which together with the other walkers will add up to a great amount, and i walked away also so much richer, but in confidence and self belief for completing my challenge
Thank you all so much for backing me on this and helping to make that difference.
Next Friday (the 13th) I will be risking my salsa feet and hot steppin it along at the Forum with Gunny and a bunch of great people.... Thanks to some of my friends at salsa last night we have already managed £100.00 worth of sponsors which i must 'Thank you all so much for '... You guys are lovely..
Its for such a great cause 'Kids Leukemia' so im putting in all the info which will tell you what its all about, it will also take you to my online sponsor form... Can anyone help and sponsor me ? it does'nt have to be much, every penny counts ..
I'll be capturing the walk on video so will post to show you all how it went...
Friday 13th March will certainly be lucky for Gunny as his charity is set to raise lots of money through the acts of firewalking and board breaking! This will be an exciting and amazing event where participants will be invited to test their limits and be taught how to put mind over matter to achieve the seemingly impossible. Anyone taking part will be taken through a full and comprehensive motivational session beforehand to prepare them for the activities. Once ready, they will first attempt to break a board with their bare hands then fearlessly walk across 20ft of burning hot coals in barefoot ......................................
God its been ages since i blogged, whats going on here...lol
No seriously ive either been out dancing, riding or been doing photos so by the time i get round to finishing every night i either hit the peanut butter on a high or the bed in a heap........ Ive got my fire walk next weekend (Friday 13th) and ive got to write 3 blogs and get my online sponsor forms done, so Ive been trying to get everything photoed and try to get myself in front today... i know that word will always manage to dodge me, but that's the fun of my life, I'm always chasing my bum and could never say I'm bored ! knackered, mad, fun, even weird yes but never bored !
Monday was riding again, this week i was given 'Ice' hes a very large white horse who when you sit on him, my legs wont go around his belly without me pulling rather strange faces, imagine doing the splits whilst trying to bounce on a trampoline and put some style into it and that's pretty much me riding him, we were told to go round in fast trot and stand up constantly in my stirrups, what a giggle, i felt id been 10 rounds with KING DONG and i haven't spelt that wrong either -oooooooh aahhhhhhhhhhh
I got off him and had to stand quietly for 15 Min's til i felt my legs straighten so i wouldn't walk like John Wayne across that car park with everyone watching, i do love a giggle but not with me and bandy legs as the core of the stable joke....
He was really good for me, i got him into canter and couldn't believe i managed it (even if it was just once), but Kevin waved his whip at the horse in front of mine who was being naughty, sending mine hurling off ...... I stayed in the saddle though but most people in there had their hands over their eyes when i looked...lol
Its not so scary sitting on the horse, than to watch I'm sure, i really enjoyed his moment of madness as that's the fastest Ive ever been on a horse especially him, so i know now that hes pulling a' I'll walk as slow as i can when she rides me job', kevin said i haveto show them whos boss so ill make sure i sort that out next week.. it proves my seating's better now anyway!!
I am making provisions and wearing my back protector at all times now in this lesson so I'm not all blonde... Ive got used to wearing it now and its straightened my back so Ive got better posture, so its good enough reason for me...........
Tonight my fella is off salsa'ing the night away with Richard and Sharon and our friends in Acle but I'm having to stay at home :(
I woke up with boobs that feel like melons and severe backache and as much as i love salsa i know i need a hot bath and early night tonight, so Mr Travolta's got his Cuban heels on and is going to fill me in tomorrow on what Ive missed, although i will miss my friends of course.....
Why is it when a woman is going through mother natures monthly " you are a woman so here you go" challenge - when your boobs swell to sizes that resemble melons and are that painful you feel like an elephant bouncing on your chest for every step or movement, does the guy go and put his foot right it in.. size 9s to be precise !
This morning he comes out with it - "God they're huge today!" and " Never mind if they are sore girl, they're bloody great to look at !!" If ever theres a time i wanted to thump him it was then - luckily for him he picked a day I'm not so capable! lol
Men - A word of wisdom here - sometimes you know honesty is not the best policy !! (take hint) we know you have 'A good cure for everything' OR 'if you let me massage them im sure they will feel good' Good for you perhaps ! God certainly broke the mould for you lot didn't he ................lol
Have a great night everyone and if you bump into Mr Travolta - Yes you have my permission ...hehe
Its listing a few more samples for me in the site tonight then bath and bed ..
Tomorrow when my legs arms and everything else aren't so sore ill be able to do all the things i couldn't do tonight - including practise my salsa and make sure I'm 1st there on Thursday !!
We've had a brilliant weekend, I didn't sadly get to do the photos Saturday as i couldn't get my fella up early enough before he went out shooting, but i did more than make up for that Sunday, my god did we work hard ! i went to sleep so proud of what id done and overslept Monday..lol
Ive replaced some of the photos that were in the site already as i didn't feel good when i did them, which showed on the images so as we were on a roll Sunday i redid those too, the result has been brilliant I'm packing for England and couldn't find time yesterday to get the new samples in... its swings and roundabouts, so today I'm not posting, ill do that tonight after salsa and start filling up with fresh stock again, i get so excited when I'm making it look nice.
I had forgotten how much i enjoy doing the photos, i got tea made from Lauren in between garments and ended up doing more in a day than id normally be capable of in a week, so today the fun starts again.. its the start of a very busy week and I'm rearing to go......
Last night was riding again, what a blast , Kevin put me on Dolly who's a very big but beautifully well mannered white horse, she was behaving so nicely for me and i managed to stand up ! I even got my transition right for canter but still have legs that go off on one in the wrong way...but i came home on a high as usual, I ache in some strange places this morning but its doing me good. im toning up and feeling in the best shape Ive felt in a long while, I'm sure its because the suns been shining..lol
We've got it all to look forward to now, spring is on its way, followed by hopefully a warm summer and plenty of nights out salsaing the summer nights away, ive been on Richards site as usual for my morning tea wake up hour and ended up trying to do rueda moves in my dressing gown, the kids all believe mums nuts , but for some reason my house feels so happy now..
Or is it because I am ?
My fella went out yesterday and came home with the sexiest underwear sets for me, so its obviously not just me feeling better.............lol
Bring on that sunshine. I feel like im blooming into life...................
What a beautiful day to wake up to.. The suns shining and the birds are in full swing singing away, Ive been waking up in the best possible way and am full of smile this morning.. We had a meal with our friends last night (thank you x) and got to do some rueda which was brilliant fun, so i expect to be thrown around the lounge during photos today as im dying to see if he can remember the moves..
Its amazing what the sun does to you just that little sneak of the daffodils all trying to peek through to see if springs arrived, im feeling so happy this morning..
I did try and wake my fella up early to make the start i hoped, but Mr Travolta isnt budging yet, two cups of tea later and hes still 'waking up !' ive been up there slung open the windows to let the fresh air help me out and all he does is pull the douvet up higher over his head....hehe
Today is photo day, its been a while since ive done any at my place but the gardens looking good considering what mother nature threw at us and im hopeful ill get to torment the photographer as i go along, hes going clay pigeon shooting later with Jane from salsa so i have to work quick today ... try telling him that !
Anyway time for another cuppa and then if i cant wake him up im getting out that tripod..
No rest for the wicked today, and wicked feels my sense of humour this morning, thanks to a brilliant night out with our friends..
Have a great day everyone............................
What a week its been, It was riding monday with Kevin and the girls, my word i knew id been sitting on that saddle for two hours...lol
He was getting us to do stuff we havent done before like trotting round on our horses standing up !! its harder than it looks but the lesson was such a great one, I love the group hes put me with we all have a giggle and torment him throughout the class, it also gives me something to work at as these guys are all so much more better than me at riding, so it pushes me on to do stuff i wouldnt normally get the chance to do, im really pleased with the way im progressing and always wake up mondays jumping out of bed, well it makes so much difference when you know youre looking forward to the day to come...
Ive been working on samples all week which had made the week fly by again, the custmers seem to love them so although its more work just listing ones its also interesting for me, so guess what im doing again this week..lol
Last night it was dancing our cuban salsa time, i seem to get worse now every week talk about look forward to Thursdays, the best part is were getting to do this twice a week from next week too! I cant wait..... Sharon and Richard are doing another class on Tuesdays so guess who put her name down for that one..hehe its not just me I know half of our class are also going along, its going to be in acle so for any of you guys that want to try/or already know some salsa that live nearby or in Yarmouth come along and join in the fun... you wont be dissapointed..
Last night Sharon worked on tapping and on getting the women to use their hips to really bring to life the movements, I have to giggle to myself when anyone mentions hips, what the hells happened to mine, im sure im smaller? im getting wise as im now sticking on long tops (baggy ones) with big hip belts over to try and make it look like i have a little part sticking out there, but for whatever i lack in curves ill definately try hard..
We did the normal class last night and then Richard bless decided it was time for 'here come the girls' time and he stuck on two regaetton tracks, that stuffs addictive ! theres not a face in the place without a beaming smile and the guys dont seem to mind either................lol
Richards made my week complete and has given me that track i was after ' Dont you remember' so i gave myself a little treat and bought myself a brand new mp3 player, its a samsung one and sounds unbelievably wicked, so track no one is now that followed by all my favourites that ill be wiggling away to throughout the day, if ive got music in my day im always happy, so to get that song thats been going through my head all week is brilliant, theres something about it that brings out my fun head and i just cant help myself when i hear it.......
As usual i took my camera last night so theres plenty of shots to show you what you're all missing..
Tonight were off to our friends house for 'meals on wheels' and of course salsa dancing thrown in somewhere through the night so im taking it easy today and just doing what i have to, blaming royal mail for the slow service today.................hehe
Tomorrow i start photos again, which im greatly looking forward to.. its gonna be a brilliant weekend......... I just know............
OMG am i on such a high today.... Not only did we get that beautiful snow yesterday (yes i did play snowballs with the kids) we had another of those unforgettable nights out to top the day off...
It was Salsaaaaaaaaaaaa and my favourite day of the week, it seems to be coming round so quick now..
Week by week we are striking up amazing friendships with people and i can honestly say ive never felt so good..
I made an exception last night and took my daugher with us for once, she argues with her brothers so we wanted to show her how much we enjoy oursleves when we go dancing so she got to see mum and dad at their happiest, salsaing the night away with Sharon Richard and all our friends there.. its worked too as she told her brothers that she doesnt want to make us come home so wont argue as the place was totally out of this world ! bless she loved it..
The roads were pretty bad as the snow was falling heavy, but although its cold its also breathtakingly beautiful driving through the dark roads with huge white snow drops falling all around us, im such a big kid at heart..I find the strangest things wonderful..lol
The night just got better and better, the hardened salsa addicts were all there braving the weather so the night was brilliant, you wouldnt never have thought it was middle of the winter at the Staithe i was standing out in the snow trying to cool off.....hehe
Rueda was the best yet with me and steve trying to keep up with Sharon and Richards amazing moves, i end up laughing so much i forget what im supposed to be doing, but at one point in the rueda i was facing Richard trying to do rumba and keep a straight face as i couldnt remember which hand was doing what so kinda got it completely wrong, and was then moved straight into sharon doing reggaetton ! my crazy arms and legs were waving around like loonies so i must have looked like a turkey being strangled not sexy as its suposed to be... i just burst into fits of giggles as i couldnt remember what part i was supposed to be wiggling so just did the lot at once like a mad person throwing a fit...lol
Lauren took pictures throughout the night so im posting what was there that had heads on! lol
I went to sleep with one track stuck in my head all night and have spent half the day trying to find out what it is? can anyone help (please).. all i know is i had one hell of a dance to it with my fella as he loved it as much as me so we need to get that track! hehe the chorus goes 'dont you remember what you told me' and boy is that song now my favourite !! lol
As you all know its valentines tomorrow and usually ill drop subtle hints for chocolate i never get to eat (the kids all eat it and leave the wrappers there) so i never get a look in, so this year we are doing something different just for us..
Its totally mad as you would expect..lol ive bought my fella a gift this year that should just make the night special and one to remember.....
Ill let you all know how it goes..................................
I spent the afternoon practising with my fella as he keeps throwing new moves at me,we were only going to do an hours practising but ended up having such fun it went on for most of the afternoon.. I was knackered before i went out.. lol
I came to a point with my dancing where i was feeling really frustrated with myself, I let my head and hang ups hold me back, Yesterday helped me so much with that side..even down to those little things , its really helped..
Since we started dancing and having the salsa lessons i felt like id stepped into something good, but i dont feel like that today, i feel like im part of something really very special not just good..
Last night we all went down to 'The Talk' to see one of the hottest cuban bands perform live 'La Cuba Ritmo' My god the night was brilliant, I came out of that place so happy it was untrue, even wiggling up the road to the car........... We were part of the dancecuban family (thats what we are! ) friends of ours that make you feel like your'e part of one big family.............It really is a special feeling, everyone in the group wants to be there, we are all as excited about whats to come as each other and we all get on so well, its always such a giggle.. but its all down to 2 people, these people have added so much to our lives its untrue............Sharon and Richard........ I cant say enough how much these guys have given us and mean to me, Sharons bringing back my confidence week by week that i thought id lost, Richards turned my fella not just into my dream guy, as he didnt believe he could dance a step before,but also helps me, and last night we danced together where everything just slotted into place perfectly.. I wish to god i could have captured that moment on film...
I enjoyed that dance so much, the feelings still with me today..It was my first thought of the day and brought something special into my house this morning....lol
Its not just about the steps is it? You guys have taught us that through your passion, its being able to feel totally uninhibited on that floor and enjoying every beat, by just doing what feels natural its bringing out the best in each other.. in the most special way..
The band was amazing and the best live act ive ever seen, the music felt like it was going right through me..
My fella loves to dance with everyone from our group which is brilliant as watching them all smile seeing everyone so happy is such a great feeling, we all take turns to dance and wish there was more men sometimes but its not about how many dances you have, its about enjoying the ones you get ! (well thats my philosophy anyway) he was frustrated he couldnt get round to dancing with everyone, but for anyone he missed out on, im sure they'll be the first on that list Thursday..lol.. I had the most amazing 'Son' Dance with Max, it felt like id drunk twice the vodka i had when i walked off that floor,he was so smooth it really was magical..
I did take my camera, but this morning am giggling as theres not much on it, but thats down to enjoying my night (and yes quite a few vodkas)the night had only just started but once that band came on that was it,nobody worried about the camera.. but thats gotta be good right ..I know kevins got loads of photos, as i can remember him chasing us about on the dance floor with his camera.. so pass them over then Kevin!! lol
Today i cant be motivated to work ive done enough this week and am taking weekends off from now on, so im chilling with the kids as afterall it is Sunday, ive made giant papier machier hearts for their science homework which has devastated my kitchen (but great fun to do) so i intend painting them this afternoon and making a bit more before i start on that housework..what the hell i'll cope with the mess today and it will get done eventually, i want this weekend to stay exactly as its been..One of the best and certainly one for my armchair ...
Richard, Sharon, Penny, Jayne, Zenda, David, Roses and all you fun people out there, you've given me so much to look forward to..
I thrive on surprises and surprising people, theres no better feeling than doing something spontanious and exciting.
I really enjoy making something from nothing, anything to do with creating or making something look nice and im in my element.
Dancing has always been something ive loved but i always wanted a partner i could dance with and picked boyfriends that didnt dance, salsa has given me more than i ever hoped for and filled that wish.
I love peanut butter, lived on it as a child and never grew tired of the taste, ive sat here alone eating it giggling away trying not to lick my lips..
I always believed i looked like a boy and had no shape so wore baggy jumpers for years, i didnt own a skirt and had no self confidence whatsoever.
I love early mornings and late nights, i will be the one to try and burn the candle at every end.
If i have something on my mind i need to go off wandering , either down the beach or woods anywhere where i can look at the stars and have time with my thoughts alone feeling the wind through my hair.
I loved my bmz Z3 , my fella told me when i felt tired or i needed to find that drive i just had to look out of the window, she had to be sold when money was tight and i lied to myself when i said i didnt care.
I had a big white streak appear in my hair overnight , i cant wait til it spreads, i wont have to colour it then.
If i care about people ill go without to give to them and wouldnt think twice.
I always hoped that if you were a nice person people would treat you kindly, thats kicked me in the teeth several times recently, but i dont give up hope, I just keep looking forwards never backwards and walk away smiling when it happens.
Ive been told im really patient, I took time to grow and still am, so i dont mind things taking their time and am happy to wait.
I love housework and cleaning, if the musics on ill sing and potter the day away happily, I enjoy relaxing afterwards with all the candles lit and the room looking , smelling gorgeous
Riding has made me feel that i can do anything i set my mind to now, being able to get such a powerful creature to work with me shows respect of each other. Respect is never given only earnt..
Never went for men in uniforms or suits like most females, i went for the long haired guys who looked unkept and had wicked sense of humours and a carefree spirit, I find tataoo's on blokes strangely sexy (I hope my fella doesnt read this)
I believe truth and love are essential, so designed my slashed top with that printed in latin on the front, it made it personal to me.
I wouldnt want to wake up tomorrow without music in my life, it always puts me in the right frame of mind and can change my mood in an instant.
I love flowers , growing things and want to end up with the garden i dream about, with tropical plants, a waterfall and magical lighting.
Im a total romantic at heart but a dirty bitch in the bedroom.
My weaknesses are for things that smell lovely, bubbles, oils, candles and perfume, Jasmine / lillies are my favourite scents.
I think society has gone too far, we cant breathe or do anything without all the rules and regualtions so i constantly want to escape to my own deserted island and make it up as i go along.
I dont look back with regret but I move forward with experience, theres a few things id do on top of what ive done, none that id take away.
Last year really knocked my confidence and affected me badly, this year i hope to put that right and feel good again.
Friendship and love are the most important things in my life.
I dont believe the best of me is out yet, im growing day by day and hope to grow into someone people will love, the kind of person i hope you will call a friend.
Watching the birds line up on the tree this morning made me giggle so much....
Usually they all manage to find somewhere to eat, as ive now got 5 bird tables (the kids keep making them for me) so my gardens surrounded by the local wildlife..
This morning however this rather amusing fella decides hes staying put and has set up camp..
Hes been out there about 3 hours now and although the tree keeps filling up with his mates all hoping to come to mine for lunch, hes not being very sociable and just sits there in comfort watching the snow..
Who said birds were stupid eh ! lol
Ive had to move the other boxes and fill them up so everyone doesnt go hungry out there...
Its horse riding later ! that should finish the day with a smile..
Animals are just as amusing as humans when we get that flutter of the white stuff...
I cant wait to see what the horses do...............
