Remember That, We Are Exactly The Same.
So you've been given opportunities. You are told daily how amazing you are. You have people who adore you. People who want to be just like you. You are successful, your are talented. You have goals and aspirations, and will probably achieve them all. You have people who are desperate to meet you. You have people who go all shy when they see you, they are so…

Blogging in 2015 | All or Nothing
The end of the year always means one thing when it comes to blogging, for me anyway. It's time to look back on the year, reading old posts, seeing what I have achieved and what I would like to improve on. It's the time I make a plan on how I am going to go into the new year, and a rough idea of what on earth I want to do. And at the moment. I feel like a b…

The Video Effect by Nigel Camp | Book Review
Video is something I have always been interested in.

A Smooth Sea
Being a parent is hard sometimes isn't it? I'm sure we all have those moments when we think we are not really cut out for this role, closely followed by the realisation that there is NOTHING we can do about it now, it is far too late and we have to "man up" and take charge.

Goodbye Summer | Fruit and Vegetable Picking
Something I have always wanted to do was to go fruit picking. I decided that this year was the year we would go.

The weather had been a bit "will it rain or…

Goodbye Summer | Sealife Centre Great Yarmouth
When I was little there was always one place we would go if we wanted a family day out but the weather was rubbish, and that was the Sea Life Centre in Great Yarmouth. My brother and I would enjoy being able to touch the Rays (which you can't do now), exploring the touch pool and just watching the sharks and turtles swimming in the large tank, hoping the glass w…

Exploring Suffolk | Thorpeness
After visiting Snape Maltings we headed over to Thorpeness. I can't remember ever visiting here before despite the name being familiar. It was a beautiful sunny day and we struggled to find a parking space due to lots of other people taking advantage of the weather and heading here to make the most of it. An artificial lake, 'meare' or boating lake, w…
