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.

thank you St Chads Road

With lock down I am appreciating just what lovely neighbours I have. Everyone has asked how things are and we are all taking care of one another like a big family. I have no regrets moving to Blackpool. My heart is here for the time being. I feel very much at home in all ways. No road is smooth – I had a few bad situations but much more good ones. The other businesses on this street accept me for who I am. I shout. I complain – I say it how I feel and they get that – we are all so different and that’s what I love – the variety. It’s a first to be honest in terms of community – I feel absolutely accepted instead of like an outsider. Love it or hate it. I want to be here. I love the UK. I don’t like flying, I feel sick on boats. Love trains, vans and buses. But in Blackpool I have the tram which is my favourite. Recent events have brought us so much closer together. Just want to say I have made us all wax melts. Ask and I will put more through doors. They’re free. Am making my own range of natural candles too when I learn the logistics. Really excited about the future too – Must stick to plans – come from my creative passions. Buddy is at the vets right now. Poor little fella. His short life so far has experienced just about every emotion. Going to spoil him rotten later on. Hopefully he will have calmed down with his need to hump teddy bears. I am enjoying this time. Love to ALL. Tiff. X

 

my opinion – death of multiple children in London UK — The Nester

No wonder the UK is becoming a global laughing stock. We are giving rights to criminals with intent to harm others. Tougher action is required. These children are wild cards. They need leaders in the community to empower and guide them away from hate crimes. If this does not stop, it will spread beyond control. […]

Support Independent Business

I just think it is so important to support smaller businesses. I’ve really made an effort to think before I buy. Even paying a few more pennies to buy fruit and veg from a local grocer or fresh bread from the bakery. When we pay into big franchises and chains it is lost money, often going to tax havens. It is so easy to visit a supermarket but these big organisations are putting the High Street – villages and towns out to graze. It’s so wrong and sad. It is not always about money. It’s quality not quantity. I hope we can all do a bit more together. Going to fayres and markets. Sharing news of what our friends and family craft. Life’s too short to not try. Tiff. X
