Blog Every Day in November – Day 30 #BEDN

Well here are – Blog Every Day in November – Day 30. The last one!  Let’s see how it’s gone….

It’s been hard work trying to get a post done everyday. It was a great help to have the prompts to provide a little inspiration.

I missed a few days over an entire weekend. Extra hours in work and other tasks conspired against me! On the whole I enjoyed the…

Christmas – Day 29 #BEDN

Christmas – Day 29 #BEDN

OK so it’s under 4 weeks to Christmas. Are you getting excited? Done all your shopping? Tree up yet?

It’ll be a quiet time for us, much different from when the boys lived at home! I’m not sure what the plan actually is for Christmas Day and Boxing Day yet. It’ll definitely be different from last year! This year we’ll only see son in Australia via a Skype session and…

National Tree Week – Day 28 #BEDN

National Tree Week – Day 28 #BEDN

I wasn’t aware that there was a National Tree Week. It was launched in 1975 so this is the 40th anniversary.

  Every winter the Tree Council encourages people and groups to plant up to a 1 million trees.

There are many areas in the UK that are losing their tree stocks. They are being pulled down to be replaced by housing, industry and roads. Some of our woods…

Blogging Woe – Day 27 #BEDN

I’ve changed today’s prompt to Blogging Woe for Blog Every Day in November. It was supposed to have been Buy Nothing Friday. I could have told you about the perils or otherwise of Black Friday but I’ve decided not to.

Instead I’ll tell you of my Blogging Woe in the hope that someone out there can help!

I currently have a few problems affecting the blog.

Nostalgia – Day 26 #BEDN

Nostalgia – Day 26 #BEDN

What is Nostalgia? According to Oxford Dictionaries it’s – A sentimental longing or wistful affection for a period in the past:

There are many things that can give you a feeling of nostalgia.  Here’s a few of mine.

A song 

What a wonderful world – my Mum. One of her favourite tunes.

On the street where you live – I don’t know why, but this one reminds me of a day out…

Travel Dreams - Day 25 #BEDN - We all dream of travel don't we?

Travel Dreams – Day 25 #BEDN

We all have Travel Dreams – those places that might be on your bucket list. I’ve been quite fortunate over the past 15 years or so and I’ve been to places some people might still be dreaming about. Hubby and I used to dream of going to Jamaica and thought we’d never get the chance but after his Dad died it put a different perspective on our lives. His Mum and Dad…

Beauty – Day 19 #BEDN

Beauty – Day 19 #BEDN

What is beauty? They say it’s in the eye of the beholder – I suppose that’s true.

I’m not into beauty products or make up. In fact if it wasn’t for items I’ve won – like my rather fabulous Bobbi Brown eye shadow and blusher – I wouldn’t have any make-up. I’m happy to leave the house with some moisturiser on my face and a spray of one of my smellies!  I make the effort now…

Home Sweet Home – Day 17 #BEDN

Home Sweet Home – Day 17 #BEDN

There are very few people that have lived in the same home for all their lives. I’ve lived in six – two with my family and 4 since being married.

We’re now in our ‘forever’ home – a 4 bedroom detached house. We had no intention on moving to this area originally. Our previous neighbours moved to a house in the area and we popped in to see them. They told us about…
