Thankful for tourism. Thankful toward the old and new. So here’s some heartfelt images from Alison and Alistair of our great Scotland.
You are Welcome Here 🇺🇸

The washing is a perpetual cycle. Literally … And there’s been community projects here and there. it’s a heatwave. Boom! Good to be useful. Good to be busy. Good to be here. You’re welcome!
I play my Alexa on low throughout the night to avoid hearing my guests thumping around. Their body weight determines the extent of the noise on the ceiling. Since November 2022 the Alexa has been a part of the harassment package I have contended with. At 3.45 am the volume climbs up. I have in the past actually watched the sound on the app slide across while being hands free. In turn, the burst of volume wakes me during the prime of my sleep. It also disturbs my pets and sometimes the guests. Since it starts to get light around 4am, I get up and potter. So it’s rather a cruel cycle with the ease of today’s abundance of hacking tools for cowards.
But anyway, I have researched the topic of keylogging and cyber harassment. Plus stalking and loss of privacy extensively. It’s quite the thing out there. Staying positive, dating myself. A lot’s been going on. More later. Loving those tailored suits across the pond too! Very dapper. Men are nailing fashion these days. From casual to formal. Prints, textiles, ties and jackets.
Housekeeping next, then I’ll be back shortly. By the way my little gypsy style snug had a lick of paint. Cute and traditional. Cosy. Nice. And I just said goodbye to guests, realising I looked blooded. I carried out a vase of dead lilies from the hallway. All that orange pollen from the middle of the anthers stuck to my chin and vest top. I am multi-tasking right now!

For me I’ve been existing with a combination of daydreaming, some foreboding. Music, nature and design in small doses. So anyway, I am updating this blog over the weekend. Because if I don’t keep my small corner here, I go into the abyss and we should never be silenced. Love to all. Stay tuned.

Whilst wandering about the place, I reflected toward parts of my exclusive life experiences. To include (some years ago …) towing my own caravan around the splendid UK on a tight budget. For which I purchased the run down but cosy ‘tiny house’ on wheels, from Ebay for less than 1k. My family weren’t too pleased. I vanished on a mission to … I did not know where ... I was a confident driver, then. So, I bolted the old thing on to the back of a Hilux Surf I had imported from Japan. And off I went!
All this before another caravan tale of ‘Annona’ that was settled in Wales. Yes. I lived in a Welsh valley for a while too.
Anyway … Feeling nostalgic, I recently carried out much research on tiny houses. I believe any space can be a palace with the right energy. With privacy and respect we can manifest a home anywhere. And those who are blessed with a roof, need to love to dwell in a balanced environment. We must make much out of little. We can all ‘nest!’.
A life to be remembered can only be felt by the owner of that own unique ✨️ adventure. Which is self. Don’t ever forget that when any of you are out robbing ideas and space without any kudos to those who planted the thought. You are not getting as rich as you are for stooping so low. And as soon as mankind has no boundaries to respect the property and privacy of others, there comes turmoil. A chaos bought about with the knock on effect of another putting their own misery toward those who live better. And by that I mean in terms of peace. And peace should always be left to grow organically. Free from intrusion.
Any type of rape is to take without permission. And rape is the boundary we as ‘woman’ set in place 🚫 by our collective right.
That said. For the feminine to allow any other to her bedroom, is giving consent to her privacy. A very different matter to the cowardice of hackers, in terms of spyware and the utilities of recruitment to unlawfully enter a building or trespass on land. This can derive from perpetrators often stuck in their own situations, they would prefer to ignore. For instance a coward waiting to jump ships. Opting in favour of ‘virtual’ squatting in the home and or workplace of another, rather than build his/her own environment, in preference of ideological make believe.
Having said all this, no matter what our circumstances, we just have to live like no one is watching and be grateful for each day. Because as soon as we succumb to bullying and harassment we feed the problem. I applaud any person who has the courage to get up each morning, knowing they can’t manage the outcome. Keep going. This world is full of love. Though sadly, not enough people talk about it. Remember. Society may have stifled us with technology, but our principles do not have to change. It is never a crime to be authentic, with a heart that wants well for others.

These flowers were left by a guest, slightly wilted. Comiseration bouquet from a neighbour for her late father. Now they’re in my lounge and have picked up to their full glory. The front room is perfect for petals. It’s cool but bright. I still have a bunch of white roses from the weekend of Mother’s Day. I put them with flowers from my mum in the hallway. So it’s a nice vibe to have a family of flowers from individual tales.
