Woke up after a very comfortable night at Ullapool. The hotel was very lovely and I must have been wiped out as I slept through till 8am which never happens. We checked out at 10am in miserable weather. Sideways rain common here 😂 we drove to Lochinver which was a town that I’d probably heardContinue reading “Day 3 of our Scotland road trip 💙”

We woke up in Kenmore all dry and cosy and refreshed from a good nights sleep. Said goodbye to Dad (his ashes) and then we headed over to the west, to Glencoe, which isn’t on the NC500 but looked spectacular to visit. What an understatement! As we passed a sign saying welcome to the HighlandsContinue reading “Day 2 Adventure – Scotland”

For a number of years I’ve been wanting to do the NC500 which is a beautiful and rugged coastal road trip around Scotland. Something always come up or we went somewhere else. Which isn’t a moan, I’ve just always wanted to do this. I was going to postpone this trip again as I had soContinue reading “Adventure Time ❤️”

You’ve come a long way Baby! On the 5th of July last year. My world fell apart, came crashing down, the trapdoors opened and I was free falling for many, many months.

2,000 days since I made the choice to save myself from the dangerous and destructive clutches of alcohol. I know I look like I’ve likely always had my shit together, this isn’t the case anyway 藍 BUT it certainly wasn’t the case 2,000 days ago. My life is unrecognisable now compared to what it wasContinue reading “2,000 days sober!”

It’s been this last year…. This week marks 8 years since my Dad left us, he did leave such a huge gaping hole in our family. I do wonder if he looks down with pride at his little girl. His little girl who is becoming stronger more resilient and more powerful by the day. (MaybeContinue reading “If ever a girl needs her Dad….”

Let Them by Cassie Phillips Just Let them. If they want to choose something or someone over you, LET THEM. If they want to go weeks without talking to you, LET THEM. If they are okay with never seeing you, LET THEM. If they are okay with always putting themselves first, LET THEM. If theyContinue reading “Wow! This Poem……..”

I found out my degree results today and whilst I did pass, it wasn’t the most amazing result ha. So I wanted to write this as a ‘word to myself’ and digest.   What was amazing though, and I’ve deliberated this on my journey to work this morning, is what I have done to getContinue reading “A Pass is a Pass, Right?”
