My son lives in a very old converted pub. His kitchen used to be the bar. He often gets ghostly visits. See the cat acknowledge the two orbs (light anomalies) near the start of this snippet, where my son was taking photographs of his statues for a project. Shnuggles is a stray feral that came in one day and decided to stay with him. My furbaby (grandchild with paws).

My Kids were Skaters and Stuff
These are hard times and we don’t know what the future holds – but we never have anyway. The good news for me last week is Panda and Vicky had their second baby ‘a boy’ and we are so thrilled for them. My youngest son is a god father to their first. I was so emotional when I found out.
My youngest son during his time in Blackpool pushed his boundaries and structured so many great little designs in Blackpool, working closely with Blackpool Council and the planning department, as we had plans drawn up specifically for the project. Now he returns to Leeds and has the confidence to build furniture for landlords so that tenants have comfy rooms in accordance with health and safety. He has his wings.
When my kids were very young they used to build skate ramps and loads of other stuff out of old bits of wood. They became semi pro sk8’rs and I was so proud. I would drive them all over The Midlands to enter comps. It wasn’t winning or anything like that. I was taking part, the music, the sound of wheels hitting the ply wood. I loved it and it became a huge part of my social life. Eventually they got sponsored and didn’t have to pay for their clothes etc. (This saved me money … lol).
I have been working hard. You can never totally switch off. There’s always problems but we have to remind ourselves each of us is only responsible for our own journeys and to be thankful for what we have going on. Education is so important, to keep learning and progressing as individuals and there is education everywhere. We just have to think about ideas and progress with people around us who are like-minded. Bitterness and jealousy are worthless emotions. I had to add a photo of this woman. She is one hell of a determined person and has made me laugh so much today. Josie is Dutch. She is from The Netherlands. Has a muslim son who lives in Brazil, he owns a hotel too.

July = focused + heart = bliss
It was lovely to have some time with my family last week. Also to catch up with my heart. To have some space. Nice to get home to my friends too. Somethings are best kept personal. A wasps nest is in my shed. It’s fascinating what nature can do. The grey piece of art work below is another masterpiece by Mother Nature. Many of you would want to remove the wasps but the trouble is with a lot of town and city folk they believe that hampering with nature is progressive. It’s not. Let them come to you. If you try to tame any animal they struggle to adapt to the wild. That’s why I don’t call Percy down or expect him to perform like a monkey in a circus in a mainstream pivot of fake news that costs money and time. He comes here when he wants and small moments I share when he allows. Nature isn’t a show piece. As ‘that’ we are probably starting to ‘increasingly’ realise, with recent events. Let’s enjoy being ‘personal’ it’s right. Less is More. Saves money too. Watch out for the quiet ones, they’re making music.

Sunday sharing – happy solstice – candles – nature #diary
Last year my mobile was stolen from by my bed, I got used to this type of thing – but what I can never replace are the pictures in it. An entire year of memories. I have learned to lock the back door and my flat door, claiming our own space. At the time I was so disorganised. I have a lot of pictures to sort out. My eldest son has started drawing once more. I am pleased. Being in isolation can be so soul searching. I got a day out at The Lakes with Marc and Nathan. We did have a lovely time. Been working in The Nester. I cannot rush this as I have not put a plan in action. It’s not about anything other than feeling right for me and those I love. It will come together organically … just like everything else we do.
My birthday was nice this year. I was not expecting any type of celebration. Many of my neighbours said hello which was so lovely and a lot of my old friends found me on a little private Facebook I set up, so I could manage the business accounts from it. I didn’t know until the day after when Marc told me I had messages. I felt quite emotional as it bought back some beautiful memories of my more spiritually enhanced days – days when I lived totally in the moment. I am hoping the girls will come and do some workshops with me. They are just fantastic women. Also Janet Alleyne is going to host a baking weekend hopefully in September. I really want this to happen. It will be an all inclusive weekend in Blackpool. Going to give my dad another quick call as this morning I was doing ten other things. I want to make sure he is okay. I have to visit my parents and eldest son very soon. I have not seen them for months. I want to get away for a bit. Tiff. X
Stop Hurting Life – Stop wanting Pain
I have had a busy week with steady progress. Last weekend was my birthday and I actually got a lot of fuss which I did not expect at my age. I have been working on my own personal space plus spending time on the beach. Tried to stay away from the internet – as I will be honest, It makes me depressed. There’s so much positivety about on here but then I get pulled into the news and the news means today’s misery – never rejoicing.
We have to try to focus on our little circles and spread love where we can in the real world. Love travels faster than hate and I am sorry if that sounds boring to you – but seeking out chaos will never solve anything. I have my own personal views about a lot of things that I don’t need to share with strangers. My friends who come from many different origins and backgrounds know who they are and that is all that matters to me. That the people I choose in my world know I adore them. If I don’t knuckle down I won’t have the opportunity to give something back to the people that matter. I hope you all have a great summer solstice and share the love with those who need you most right now. Life is so wicked and hurtful in the wrong hands. Peace to the light, peace to the innocents, peace to the victims of hate crime. No death is justified. To take a life or hurt another is the lowest you can get. To have the intent to inflict hardship and misery either physically or mentally makes you weak and worthless.
