Welcome to blog! I started it in 2020 to chart my recovery from breaking my ankle (hence the name). I guess no-one saw a global pandemic coming. It's turned into a place where I can talk about the things happening in my life, my horse and my cats. Enjoy!
This made me laugh today. As a marketeer I know about effective targeting of your message. It seems my close is in a certain demographic. People think I’m joking when I say I brought the average age down.
I know I’m in my 50s now, but not sure these are relevant to me.
As a kid, I always wanted ringlets. I used to make my Mum put rags in my hair overnight to get them. All I ended up with was a sore head. I don’t recommend it, it’s really uncomfortable.
Growing up my hair was a bit hit and miss. Straight bits, kinky bits and curls. As an adult, I spent ages trying to tame it. I permed it. I even had a spiral perm. I straightened it. But it always had a way of doing it’s own thing.
As I’ve gotten older, I’ve let it just be. It can do what it likes. I’ve embraced the dragged through a hedge look. And it seems that after all these years, I got the ringlets I desired as a kid. Funny how things work out…
While Winter isn’t my favourite season, I do love the frosty sunny days. There’s something magical about the warmth of the sun against the cold crunch of the frost.
This morning it was a whiteout. But soon the sun was streaming in through the conservatory. Just beautiful.
I have to admit, I’m a tad tired today. But a really good tired. The kind where you know you’ve done good stuff. I love driving but motorway driving can be tiring.
It was such a gorgeous day that I could resist heading down to the yard to ride. I’d missed his little face. He sniffed me all over so guessing he missed me too.
The kittens were like shadows today. They’d barely left my side. It’s nice to be missed.
You know you’ve made a really good impression when you go to leave and the dog wants to come home with you.
Back home after my trip to North Wales. It was utterly brilliant. Loved spending time with Katie and her family. Thank you for making me so welcome.
Even managed to catch up with my nieces Amy and Katie and my great-nephew Alex on the way back.
It was a long way, but worth it. I shall sleep well tonight.
Another outing today. To Llandudno to check out the view from Great Orme. Snowdon was hiding in the cloud cover. But I could see Snowdonia National Park.
North Wales has been a revelation. I had no idea how beautiful it was. I love going new places. Old Colwyn is one I will definitely want to come back to again.
Katie took me out to the local beach this afternoon for a dog walk.
My goodness it was stunning.
Greetings from Wales! Another long road trip today. 5 hours listening to podcasts, catching up with people and admiring the scenery. Saw 6 buzzards and red kites on my travels.
Here for a few days visiting a friend. So far we haven’t stopped talking. It’s going to be a fab few days.
What an incredible sunset tonight. The sky was on fire. It took my breath away.
It’s one of the more pleasant things about winter. I love the contrast between the bare trees.
It was a lovely way to end a pretty lovely day.
Finished a bonkers busy day with a chill out yoga class. Feeling totally chilled out indeed.
Not sure what happened to today. It was a blink and you miss it. But still managed to tick loads off my to do list and lunge Buddy before yoga.
Now flopped on the sofa – chilled, calm and utterly zen.
