At the beginning of this video I found Myra – I swam with her with my sons when they were little. She lost her baby and never swam on with her pod. She stayed in case her baby returned. But sadly a baby dolphin was washed up on the shore a mile or two down the coast. I am absolutely gob smacked that I found this footage as it was over fifteen years ago I swam there. This is a lovely video about the sea and the dolphins. Myra protected my youngest son in the water as it was rough tides and he wasn’t a stable swimmer – he was holding on to his surf board and she went beneath it and supported him in the water. She rubbed noses with him too and I have never seen his face beam so much. It was worth the experience although very dangerous as the waves were smashing against the rocks. I hope the people who made this video know of her story. I am sure the locals will have told her. Wait til my sons see this video. What a gorgeous blast from the past. I often think about her. Bless that dolphin!

Sometimes when you want to get things clean real quick and you get sick of humping the vacuum cleaner around the place – a Ewbank is fabulous. My nan had one when I was little and I used to help her clean the house. She never had a vacuum – or phone – she used to wash by hand and then mangle the linen to wring out the excess water. So I learned how to be sustainable from a young age.

I bought one for Annona which was ideal for keeping the floors clean. I didn’t realise until now it was a British invention! I decided to Google it and apparently it was invented in the 1800’s. A bit of worthless information but really,  if you can afford one get a Ewbank. Mine will have a lot of work to do! I’ll post a video of me in action with it soon … They’re less than £25 too! Boom … Bargain! I don’t understand why technology moves so fast when we have enough around already. Click image above if you like and find the website I just sourced. It is fascinating. Anyway, time to crack on – tea break over. I am panicking a bit at the moment. The more I worry, the less I get done.

Long story. You would probably struggle to believe me if I told you. Basically, I went to Wales for Easter and got stuck there for almost two weeks. I am not going to get much time to travel for a while – so I am trying to get rid of so much stuff – while struggling to find enough time to get it all done! Sigh .. come on Tiff – snap into it! I just get so distracted by absolutely everything.  TBH©
