Railway Journeys

Over the pandemic, I found a new TV show, that’s become my favourite. It’s Micheal Portillos Great British Railway Journeys. Although I do like his Contintental series aswell. And the others are good too. When I couldn’t go anywhere, he took me round the world. To Europe, Australia, America, Asia, in so many series. I… Continue reading Railway Journeys

Checked Blouses

I have a thing for checked blouses. I love them, and can’t get enough of them. They’re comfortable. They come in wonderful colours, and their vivid vibrancy makes me smile. I find them really tactile, with easy to find buttons, and are super soft. And they cheer me up, when I’m feeling low. For years,… Continue reading Checked Blouses

Zip up Hoodie

I love a good zip up hoodie. I have loads, in different colours, and wear them every day. They comfort me, and relax me, makes me feel safe and secure in mind and body.

And I have fallen head over heels… Continue reading Loving Saxophones and Clarinets

It relaxes me, quietens busy thoughts and buzzing anxieties, like smoke. It consumes me from head to toe, spreading peace and joy through my bone,… Continue reading Why I love music

Small Spaces

I have a very small bedroom. There’s room for my bed, a wardrobe, a chair, my clarinet, a small space on the floor to sit on, some room under the bed for my stuff, and that’s about it. I’ve always felt trapped, in this small space. There’s no room to breathe, to be, to create,… Continue reading Small Spaces

Quiet Time

I’m not an introvert. I do enjoy socialising. I like going places, and meeting people. I like exploring new places, making new friends. I like to talking to others, even at meetings and parties. I battle my mind to go, and it’s usually worth it. I get in the zone, forget my mind for a… Continue reading Quiet Time
