Blustery blog from Bridport...

  So...our annual visit to the south west took off with a bang!! A predicted storm, of a larger scale than that of 1987, expected to hit us the following night, and mother is more terrified of a spider living in her bed sheets- but to be honest, he was a whopper! That situation shortly solved by the man of the house ( and with the help of me opening the door I'd like to add-BRAVE), I sat panicking about the position of our caravan right at the top of the hill, already tipping over the edge without the help of the storm. The mother remains surprisingly calm still, although she cannot find radio 2 on her radio! Heaven forbid, I think this may be the end...the storm continues growing bigger, caravan shaking and the windows almost caving in... OH MY GIDDY AUNT CARL HASN'T PUT HIS DUVET COVER IN HIS DUVET YET!!!! The panicked mother continues to stress...'but Mum, we are definitely going to blow over the cliff inside the caravan and it will not be fun' ...'we can't worry about that at the moment, there is still a duvet laying separately to its cover...

Social Media: the good, the bad and that's how it is

We've all had that moment when the list of everything that we have to complete that day is buzzing around our head, but it's OK because it's only...MIDDAY? How did that happen? Then, we look into the palm of our hand and see our fingers scrolling through post after post on Facebook. Most of which we've already seen or read but we may as well waste more time and read it again, right? This activity is definitely more common in younger people, but I am certainly not accepting that this only happens to people born after 1994. Yes, the social media bug has sifted its way through generations and even my Grandad 'loves' posts on Facebook and knows about my graduation before I've rang him to have the old fashioned conversation. I'm not saying that my Grandad and others in their seventies and eighties reach for their phone to see updates first thing and that it's the last thing they see before going to sleep at night, but it is contagious and it's defin...

4 Things That You Only Discuss In A Retail Setting

Ever find yourself having a conversation with work friends and immediately after your words have been uttered you think to yourself "why did I just say that?" Or a customer walks in and you find your mouth running away with itself and chatting about the most mundane things that even you think is painful to listen to? If the answer is yes, then here are a few things that I'm sure you will relate to, things we all converse about in a retail setting. The Weather What is it with British people and the weather? All you have to do is look out of the window to know exactly how hot it is or whether it's raining. You may have only just entered the shop so you've just experienced what the weather is doing at that very moment, yet people still insist on reporting this for you. They'll report that "it's raining outside", when you've just been stood in the downpour waiting for your bus. Thank you for that Jim, couldn't have figured for myself. ...

I may not know much, but I do know that EVERYBODY needs a 'happy place'

Image
From a visit to the coast to an afternoon spent in the shed, everybody needs a happy place.  I've just returned from a night at the coast with a lovely friend and three of the happiest dogs that I've ever met, and I honestly didn't realise that it was possible to be in such a complete state of calmness. I'm not even exaggerating, I have definitely never been more relaxed.  From the moment we arrived I felt a massive weight lift off me, not that I'm having a rough time at all at the moment but I did feel totally de-stressed. In fact, it was hilarious how floppy I'd become (I mean, I couldn't face showering, I was that chilled) that I started to think up things that could potentially stress me out and it wasn't working one bit.  Something about being by the sea, face soaking up the air and all you can see is open space and the odd happy dog walker, brings me such joy and comfort. It makes me realise how small I am in such a huge world and how many...
