Growing OldDay 85 – Today I celebrate 2 weeks of caring for my skin! Yes I know, most women do this as a daily routine but I have spent all my years not giving it too much attention, so although it wont make much difference to its aged look, it is in serious need of some […]
Day 62 – Celebration time! – as seems to have been the case throughout this crisis the Government issued a statement late last night, to our surprise and delight we find that we can move into the next phase of de escalation from Monday, a week earlier than originally stated. The sense of freedom and […]
Day 58 – After working from home with small children I can relate to the struggles many are facing right now as schools and nurserys are closed. Even within the last few weeks where limited hours are now allowed to take them outside to exercise, these times fall within working hours. So with 4.5 million […]
Day 56 sees many overwhelming Emotions flooding in whilst taking over my clarity and peace. Last night we heard that we will not be included in the next phase of easing lock down restrictions, it makes it harder to face as only the Granada and Malaga provinces have been left out of the area of […]

Emotions are running wild these last few days, in fact they started last week, a bag of mixed emotions emerging from within but also seen in all that I spoke with. This weeks though are constant and different and I can’t quite name them, there is sadness, tiredness, and a wanting to let go of […]
I have over these last weeks talked about our unusually persistent drab weather which felt like Spain was in mourning, well the day before our partial freedom that all changed and we see our 3rd beautiful day, so maybe she is now celebrating again to reflect the mood of her people! Birds are everywhere, maybe […]
