I picked this up from Facebook this morning and followed the blog link, it's a really interesting article about sexual harassment and some close encounters. Elizabeth is brave sharing her own experiences and it made me think of mine. I'm five years younger that she is, and the world was a different place back then.… Continue reading Me Too!

Turn it off and wait for the twitching…
This article caught my eye this morning. It's really interesting and of course, I asked myself the same question. Could I switch off my phone for one day? Could you? On 22nd September, it's switch off your phone day, I'm considering it. If I do, i shall report back here. If you do, please let… Continue reading Turn it off and wait for the twitching…

Team — Miraculous Smile
I mentioned before that I worked at Olive Garden for 17.5 years as a manager. What I did not mention, as of yet, was something that rang true for me and/or any other manager on duty at the time. Your team is what can make or break you! This is true in real life as […]… Continue reading Team — Miraculous Smile

A Ghost of Myself
An interesting and thoughtful story to share with you. It certainly had me thinking.
I pull to the side of the road. The screech of sirens and the flashing blue lights of an ambulance head towards my village. For a moment I am simply grateful that my younger son sold his motorbike, even though I know he misses it dreadfully. There were too many ditches when he was younger…
Then I wonder who needs the ambulance. Will it get there in time? Do I know them? Will they be okay? What if I was me who had died and the ambulance was going for my body while my ghost, all unaware, still went to work…?
Now there’s a thought that comes right out of nowhere and is guaranteed to stop you in your tracks on the way to work…
How would I know? Living with the dog wouldn’t have helped, as I am convinced they can see far more than we can. Ani might…

Sunrise over Snowdon
This is a lovely tale of a trip to Snowden and it surrounding aread. The Snowdonia mountain range is the backdrop to where I live. Wherever we go on our island of Anglesey, you get the magnificent vista sometimes surrounded in cloud, other times very clear. So it was nice to read of a fellow blogger visiting the area.
Sunrise Over Snowden
Part I: Lancaster to Llanberis
After packing, checking and repacking our bags, probably more times than necessary, we were ready to go. We caught a busy West Coast train from Lancaster to Warrington, and then one to Llandudno Junction. This was also busy, and we were stood up for a good while, but eventually got a seat. The final, and shortest, leg of the train journey took us from Llandudno to Bangor!
We took a taxi (*tacsi) from Bangor to Llanberis, in Snowdonia National Park.
All in all our journey took just under 4 hours, and we arrived in Llanberis around 4pm, giving us 8 hours to fill before meeting our guides.
The village of Llanberis, sits on the southern shore of Llyn Padarn and at the foot of Snowdon. Llyn Padarn is one of the twin lakes that cut through the mountain range creating the Llanberis Pass, the other…

Caravan Holidays
via Holiday Home Highs and Lows I've just read this post by author Carole Parkes and it reminded me so much of my caravan days.
