THE BIG “R” BECKONS…….how do I decide?
Quote“The harder you work, the harder it is to surrender.” Vince Lombardi So, I’ve downsized my life, my house, thrown away all the clutter of the past, paid off the mortgage, reorganised my finances so I can live within my means, I’ve even made a new will.

DOWNSIZING IS A STATE OF MIND…….
Why would anyone want to do it? 1st obvious answer is financial. Many people move from a large family home to a smaller, more manageable property to free up the equity tied up in thier house.

Trouble is I am spending so much time thinking about these things that … Continue reading
HOW DO YOU DEFINE YOURSELF?

Another friend will soon tell people she is a vegetarian and yet another who will mention she is a grandmother and yet another who mentions her cats. It is interesting to listen to what people wish to … Continue reading
FREE HUGS ANYONE?
Would you accept a Free hug from a stranger in Paris? Well this is exactly what I found myself roped into by my friend Muriel, on a recent visit to Paris along with Inga “the introvert” who initially came along as the photographer, but soon found herself with arms outstretched smiling at strangers and inviting … Continue reading
