My lack of confidence. Being nice to people who are douchebags… All the clutter! In our next house move I’m determined to sort through all the bits and pieces (mainly mine) that I’ve been holding onto. I want things to be much simpler. Putting myself down. It’s ridiculous I still do this at my age. Worrying about what people think of me. Pillocks. What things do you want to let go of…feel free to rant a little! P.S See my…

52 Lists: The Moments You Will Always Remember
Leaving my full time job of 6 years, in search of a new life. I was determined to not have to wait till retirement for me to enjoy my days on this planet. My first day at University. I’ll never forget my parents dropping me off and settling me into the halls of residence with a crate of beer and a stack of posters to plaster my walls. I met friends for life in that first week. Watching the Flaming…

Buy a camper van. The best a gal can get! Go on a very long holiday to work out a few things and discuss all the possibilities. Chat to close friends and family and see how I can help them.

52 Lists: List The Things You Want To Make
Sloe gin. After drinking the best sloe gin at Christmas, I’m going on a sloe berry foraging mission in Autumn. Make my own clothes. I’m not wanting to make all of them, but I’d love to learn the basics. The Great British Sewing Bee has me inspired! Make our home free of clutter. I’m sick of all the stuff. No matter how many hours I spend tidying, there is still mountains of stuff that moves from one place to another.…

52 Lists: List Your Best Qualities
I make a good cup of tea. I can recommend lots of awesome films, mainly because I’ve seen all the bad ones. I’m good at sending random post. I’m polite and friendly to all walks of life. I make a very nice Lemon Drizzle Cake. Indeed I do. I don’t take things for granted and appreciate all the small things. I’m annoyingly positive to some people probably! Phew! That was hard. I’m not good at saying good stuff about m’self!…

52 Lists // The Good Things About Your Town
Photos taken late Summer, 2013 The location. Hebden Bridge is a town surrounded by awesome countryside and the train links you (direct) to Manchester, Leeds and York. Perfect. The folk. The people in Hebbers are pretty creative; it’s a community full of artists, writers, musicians and crafters which makes it a lively, unique and inspiring place to live. The scenery is breathtaking. In all seasons this place blows me away. The abundance of independent shops, cafes and businesses including an awesome cinema…
