Why Da Nang is One Of My Favourite Travel Destinations

Do you have a favourite place you have visited? Where is it?

I have visited several countries over the past twenty years or so. One of my favourite places I have visited, has to be Vietnam. I spent a wonderful two weeks in Da Nang. The culture, scenery, food, and especially the people…they were so friendly and welcoming.

Da Nang is also known as the city of bridges.

Celebrating My Quirky Self: The Beauty of Authenticity

What is one thing you would change about yourself?

What is one thing that I would like to change about myself?

There ‘maybe’? many things I would ‘possibly’? want to change about myself.

But, change to what?

I’m not perfect by any means, I have my faults, imperfections….blah blah blah.

Who’s to judge anyway? You? Me? Anyone?

Alright, (make sure you spell it correctly, not Allwright) there are times… Well, most of the time, I wish I had more self confidence, less ‘self doubt’!

But that’s not a change, that is growth, development, reflection, self affirmation, self worth. These are attributes that grow, not an overnight change.

So, no…there isn’t one thing I would like to change about myself. In fact, I quite like my quirky, bonkers, imperfect self. I Need work, but hey ho!

Happy Tuesday, to my imperfect, bonkers, friends. ❤️

Night time creativity

Are you more of a night or morning person?

The answer to this question is dependent on what is happening in my life at any particular time. I’ve had a number of jobs in the past where I have had to rise from my bed at 3am. I have worked split shifts on a rolling ten day pattern, to a 9am-5pm working day. Thankfully, no more.

But now: 🦉

I often paint and write in the evenings/early hours of the morning. My creative mind comes alive when the outside world is silent, dark, it somehow feels safer. Safer in the knowledge that the majority of people are asleep. 👩🏻‍🎨

Happy Monday ❤️

Each to their own.

What are your feelings about eating meat?

Happy Sunday!

Roast Beef Dinner

It is traditional for us Brits to have a roast cooked dinner on a Sunday! Whether thats beef, lamb, pork, chicken, turkey, or a vegetarian nut roast.

Talking about food could get messy!

Have a beautiful Sunday! 😋❤️

Oooh…well…hmmm…ahhh….🤔

What are your two favorite things to wear?

NOTHING!

Well, that’s not entirely true…

I love to wear my Dr Martens! ❤️❤️❤️

That’s it!

So, my two favourite things to wear…is nothing, and my D.M’s!

My lovely Doc Martens!

What a question 🤷‍♀️!!!

Have a wonderful weekend 🤗❤️

Reflecting on My Most Challenging Choice: Justice vs. Family

What’s the hardest decision you’ve ever had to make? Why?

The hardest decision I’ve ever had to make…

I was a teenager. I had to decide if I was going to instigate legal proceedings, give evidence in a Crown Court of Law in the hope of prosecution.

In truth, I didn’t really have any choice… if I wanted justice.

I went ahead. A two week Crown Court case with the victim and the perpetrator in the same room….

As to why it was a difficult decision?

Because it was against my own father.

It was a harrowing trial, but it was a decision I do not regret! A decision I am proud of!

I’m hitting town today with friends…a bit of galavanting, lunch, shenanigans, and 💃💃💃 🤗🤗

Happy Thursday! Happy Thanksgiving! ❤️

Festive Food

Do you or your family make any special dishes for the holidays?

As a child I was brought up in a Jehovah Witness household. Therefore, we didn’t celebrate any holidays.

Just to clarify, I am not a Jehovah’s Witness!

A JW does not celebrate Christmas, Birthdays, Mother’s Day, Valentines, Halloween, Easter….nothing!

As a child, this was difficult! Difficult for myself, and my siblings…we were outcasts in our community, school, friends…everything!

I now, wholeheartedly, celebrate all of these events, with my friends. ❤️

Roast Turkey at Christmas, lamb at Easter, (oh, and of course…chocolate eggs 🍫🐣😋), cake on birthdays, Mother’s Day (I won’t go into that), Valentines chocolates, and Halloween pumpkins.

Roll on Christmas celebratory dishes! 😋😋😋

Happy Wednesday! ♥️

What would I do? 🤔

If you didn’t need sleep, what would you do with all the extra time?

What would I do if I didn’t need to sleep…🤔

Well, I think that all depends on whether it was only myself, a select few, or everyone!

If everyone didn’t need to sleep, our daily working hours would increase… that’s for sure! It would cost us a lot more in energy, food, fuel, etc….it certainly wouldn’t give us more time to play!

If, on the other hand, it was just me, or a select few…. I would get up to all sorts of mischief & shenanigans….😉🙃🥳💃💃

Happy Tuesday….I hope you all slept well! 🛌💤 💃💃
