Pure Joy!

Swaying gently, in the warm June breeze, they stand tall....,

Alarm clocks ring.....
Ah!
Ah : Used to express a range of emotions including surprise, pleasure, sympathy. Yesterday morning I had to get up early and drive from the Peak District to Derby to take Simon to have his botox injections at the hospital. He has a condition called Dystonia which is a movement disorder in which your muscles…
AWE!
Awe! A feeling of reverential respect, mixed with fear and wonder...

Mothers.
“There’s no way to be a perfect mother and a million ways to be a good one.” – Jill Churchill Mums are wise and are good at knowing what to say. Mums are steadfast, always there, even if it's just to sit by our sides and let us know that everything is ok. Mums are…
What has he done now!
I have a routine now when I get one of those dreaded but half expected phone calls from the supported living complex where my son Simon sometimes, 'not so' happily resides. I hear the familiar voice of the care worker on the phone as she tentatively explains the latest predicament, and sense the hope in…

Do you wanna build a snowman?
How do you feel when you wake up to the sound of that wintery silence outside and you just know before you get out of bed, that there is a layer of snow on the ground? Does it make you want to shoot back under the covers and wrap them tightly around your neck. Or…
‘Jolabokaflod’
This Christmas I decided to take on an Icelandic Christmas tradition of giving a book as a present on Christmas Eve. Im not sure how I came across this idea but I thought it was rather a good one, and especially with Christmas 2020 having a 'Covid Cloud' hovering above it and everyone having to…

And Christmas begins.
When do you begin to feel full of Christmas spirit? I know that this year is going to be a very different one for most of us, and for many it will undoubtedly be a quiet and possibly lonely one, but I still can't help but feel that little tingle of Christmas expectation building up…
The Dining Table
..it was a place where milk could be spilt and tears could be shed...
Babychino.
'Nonna thursdays' are becomming quite a regular event as I drive down from the Peak District every week to spend a day looking after my little grandson. Daddy makes Nonna a coffee and a little voice pipes up asking for a 'babychino'. That little cutey loves the frothy milk and there is nothing sweeter than…

An autumn walk in the Peaks
Covid-19 continues to affect us all in so many different ways. I wonder how it has affected your life as one of the readers of my blog? Im sure we could do breakfast, lunch and dinner with lots of latte's in between if we were to sit and share our stories of this sad and…

‘Simology’
Driving back to the Peak district today after a day spent enjoying Arlos' company and being the best Nonna I could be, I was aware of how my body began to relax as I got my first sighting of those wonderful green hills. It was as if all my problems and worries started to ebb…
‘Twit twoo’
From the day I moved to the Peak District, seeing an owl was on my list of most hoped for sightings. I dont think ive ever seen one other than in captivity. Im sure you can imagine my excitement when i saw these two 'Little Owls' cosied up next to one another and clearly very…
