About Me

South Wales, United Kingdom
Im forty something! Married, mum to two wonderful daughters, both very different, both very special. Im originally from Edinburgh but have spent almost 2/3rds of my life in South Wales now and so am probably as much Welsh (if not more) than Scottish. Until the age of 16 (when I left Edinburgh) I spent a lot of time with Great uncles and aunts in East and West Lothian,but also with family and friends in the centre of the city. So had an equal country and city upbringing. I would spend hours walking in the Pentland hills (with family, friends, alone), hours in the countryside, hours in the dress shops in town with my friends, trying on endless outfits I couldnt afford, hours dreaming that I would marry Paul Michael Glaser (Starsky!!) and definitely hours planning that once I had made it as an actress (which is why Paul would fall madly in love with me) I would learn to fly a plane, hopefully it would help with my developing fear of heights, star in a west end show, have a hit single and buy a ranch somewhere that Paul and I could hear the wolves howling in the distance. Then I had dreams! Read the rest of my story starting at Broken Dreams

Dont step on my dreams!

I have only one thing to say to those who still try to step on my dreams, those who try to persuade me away from my goals by making comments cloaked as advice or concern!

'The question isnt who is going to let me; its who is going to stop me?'
Ayn Rand

Despite your opinion, regardless of how long something takes me to do, inspite of any number of my own barriers (which I still have a few), I will achieve what I have set out to achieve, everything which is on my 'list'; I will get to where I want to be, do the things I want to do and have the things I want from life!

Im on this path! Please ... if you dont want to travel with me please dont try to make me change direction.

New places, new faces, new experiences

Life is sooooo busy at the moment! Which is great.

Been to two new places (walking) over the last couple of weeks and met some great new people on the way.  Id forgotten how quiet I can be sometimes when I meet new people LOL ... still makes a nice change for me to shut up and give someone else a chance.  Before anyone else says it ;-) 

Llyn yn Fawr last week which was lovely.



and Tair Carn Isaf and Uchaf today, which was a really great, if windy, walk AND the best laugh ive had in aaaaaages. 








So that was the exercise bit {LOL ... well exercise for me ... a stroll for others ;-)}

So every ying needs a yang - so on Sunday I spent hours and hours in a spa with a friend of mine to celebrate her birthday.  Relaxing, chatting, drinking champagne ... cant be bad eh!


Hmmm long weekend ahead  .... what to do, where to go?   

Answers on a postcard please (or at least a post below LOL)

Embarrased!

The very nice lady running the abseil event has sent me a little note saying well done for trying! And the certificate to say that I was there ... so nice but now I feel awful for failing!
