Blackpool #diary

Since June the 13th (my birthday) I have been working very hard on my darling new project in Blackpool. I have felt elated, as everything I love to do has been in one place. Nesting, baking, meeting unconventional people. It has not been easy as you sort of give your time away as you live in a house where other people you’ve never met before are staying. But I do have my own flat. There’s two bedrooms. A large bathroom, lounge and running space for the dogs outside. I am surrounded by seagulls. I really have learned to understand them. They’re such clever beings and work so closely to survive. At the moment, we have three baby seagulls that rely on us to stay alive. Kris my friend from Dogbus has been helping. It has been team work. She has her own bedroom and we are blessed with Alan her hound. My room is my little den. I have no wardrobe just a rail to hang my clothes and some shelves for everything else. It’s full of positive energy and I feel a bit like Cinderella (but I do have the coach…) I’ve got a comfy bed and am still with my unicorn bed linen. Evie and Angel are very happy here. I want to live forever. Plus, I’ve sold my house in Leeds and will have all my own possessions around me soon!

 

I see this as a stepping stone and am already planning my next project to add on to this one. I do not want to be enslaved to a rigid routine, as I am a progressive person. It would make me feel depressed to feel I could not continue to expand. Life is short – don’t let anything hold you back. It is not about money – but, a sense of self worth and focusing on the light and the love that comes from all corners. Set yourselves free to be your highest and best self. You will be surprised what’s out there!

I have been waiting to post a nice photograph of me online to share – but … I am afraid I am not the most photogenic of women and the thought of standing in-front of the mirror all day bores the shit out of me. I am clean and I wear clothes I like. That’s enough. It is what’s inside that really matters. I loved putting a photo of me in my pyjamas shortly after I had cooked breakfast for around 15 people. I’d made them happy so what I looked like wasn’t as important at that time of day. I am so in the zone with baking at the moment! I am trying to collect bits of china too. Give me more hours each day.

Yes, there’s been a few very rude people crossing my path – but confined to emails and the phone, mainly because they cannot get booked in at the dates they want. Then others use ‘leaving a bad online review’ as a reason to ‘try’ and get free stuff. I don’t care about all that. I have a guest book and it’s full of beautiful messages. We can’t suck eggs. All the guests that have crossed my door are just so gorgeous. It may not always be this good – but, whatever comes, bring it on. I am on the journey.

Next week my family are coming here. I think it will be emotional. I need them around so much. To see familiar faces.

Have a lovely week. I am still writing. I am still taking pictures. My best yet. I am still roaming the back alleys for adventures. I see you!

A bit of Matlock Bath – High Peak – Derbyshire – Peak District

Today was one to remember. I found the most charming nook just outside of Matlock town, named Matlock Bath. It was like going back in time. The people were so friendly too! There’s lots more coming about the place and some little adventures. I met a woman called The Tweed Lady who buys remnants of CHANEL Tweed – then makes beautiful things. Another lady with a craft shop in a nearby village, that I’m going to visit tomorrow … and on and on … More soon!Β  TBHΒ©

FoodHallen Food Hall #Amsterdam #TravelBlog

The majority of folk in Amsterdam people are so fit and healthy! Everyone seems to be cycling. It’s put me to shame – making me realise I really do need to do more in the UK.

I’ve walked and cycled for literally miles and off out again soon to get across to the other side of the city for supper.

The Food Hall today was the best I’ve visited to boot. Every world cuisine imaginable. I do often imagine though, how much people would enjoy the same dishes if the animals were brutally slaughtered in front of them. The food chain (behind the scenes) is a mess.

I had fish and chips (again …) delicious. Sorry cod I know you suffer too, yet I am human. I Have my faults.

Had to call in the duty manager for a crash course in managing the coffee machine in my room. Felt so stupid. I hadn’t switched it on. More later …

As soon as we forget to dip our toes in the ocean,

skim stones across ripples, fill our pockets with shells.

When we no longer let sand fall through our fingers like stardust….

β€˜No more!’ says the sea cloud, carrying a pesky crew of wave fairies ….

For this is a waste, there’s an infinite child within all of us, a magical one that can be found by the waves and fresh sea air …. go find it. For it costs money not. Just believe in magic, it’s hidden in each day and grows stronger by the tide.
