  • Romantic…

    What’s your definition of romantic?

    …a definition of romantic to me would be someone showing they are thinking of you by doing something they know you love

    I’m not a materialist person although I like nice things, if someone took me to a beautiful hill for a picnic that would be a romantic gesture to me…

    ….someone once read poetry to me in the grounds of the Cathedral in my home town which I found one of the most romantic gestures I’ve ever experienced…it cost no money, the thought and time meant everything!…💞

  • Recycling household waste

    Are there things you try to practice daily to live a more sustainable lifestyle?

    …is the most simple practice I’ve adopted on a daily basis to live a more sustainable life…it’s just part of the clean up process at home now …

    …and I’m planning to buy a super 3 bin unit for my kitchen to keep the ever growing plastics and cardboard pile up under control, which I find very exciting and extremely middle aged 🤣

    I’ve also just sold my sweet little eco car as it has cost me a lot of money in repairs recently (more than it’s worth) …

    My commute to work should be 20 minutes but can take 40 to 60 minutes thanks to the amount of traffic and road works.,,which makes me stressed…

    so I am now taking the bus and at this very moment am responding to this daily prompt from said bus on my way to work, no driving stress, no time stress, no parking stress…and reducing my footprint …able to communicate in a relaxed way with you lovely lot 💝

    Bye bye Tommy car 🚗

    Have a fabulous Friday 🌞🚌

  • Malt loaf…

    Which food, when you eat it, instantly transports you to childhood?

    …reminds me of my childhood as soon as I smell and taste it…Sunday’s growing up in the UK across the 70/80’s were based around food (and the pub, for my Dad)…we started with English breakfast (bacon, eggs, tomatoes, fried toast …how have I survived to now 😅)….then a traditional Sunday roast at lunchtime, when my Sister and I would argue over who gets the remaining chicken leg, she is now vegetarian so no longer an issue…nom nom, still love a Sunday roast!…then we would finish early evening with what could be classed as a high tea (but not that posh)…left over meat used in little triangle sandwiches, Jamaican ginger cake (yesss 💝) and malt loaf covered in rich butter all presented on a stand by my Nan (Grandmother) …arh childhood Sundays were glorious as far as food was concerned 🥓🍳🍗🥔🥦🍰

  • I am passionate about …

    What are you passionate about?

    …quite a few things…

    Right now in my life I am passionate about learning, learning about relationships, people, wellbeing, creating…I seem to have come out of a few years of frustration with relationships only to realise it’s me who needs to change my mindset and figure out who and what I put my precious energy into…this has lead me to want to learn about my behaviour and others, both in a romantic sense and with my family and my friends…it’s very cool! 👌🏼

    Lunchtime walks settling my mind & creating ideas

  • Self awareness

    What are the most important things needed to live a good life?

    …self awareness and self love…we are in charge of making our life good…we have the choice…we alone should have the ability…anything or anyone else that graces our good life is a wonderful added bonus 🫶

    Life is always good for Holly

  • Favourite childhood book…

    Do you remember your favorite book from childhood?

    …one of them would be The Very Hungry Caterpillar 🐛

    I loved the simple interaction, that I now realise is also very clever, I thought the transformation to a butterfly was incredible and being a nature lover I still do find this process incredible.

    Always incredible 🐛🦋

    I read this book regularly to both my Sons when they were young and still have that copy 18 years on…maybe ready to read to some grandbabies some day 💝

  • I am good at…

    What are you good at?

    …learning…I am very aware that I have become compelled to learn more…I have started this blog as I’m compelled to write…almost like a test delivered to me from a gentle soul pushing me in a direction I am unfamiliar with and yet excited about…who knows why…who knows what will become of this blog…who knows what other treasures I am to learn along the blogging journey…or what jewels I could teach…now that’s a skill on a another mysterious trail…

  • Having it all…

    What does “having it all” mean to you? Is it attainable?

    …the first thing that came to mind is…CAKE…have all the cake as you deserve it…it is absolutely attainable, if you wish it to be…life is too short to not have all the cake…enjoy 🫶 🍰

  • Memories

    Do you have any collections?

    I collect memories…I have a box into which I add little keepsakes and have done the same for my two Sons…will they ever want their memory boxes? 🤔 who knows yet! It’s definitely more for me than them ☺️ it just gives a visual reminder of fabulous things we have been gifted in life 🙌

  • Trousers

    What’s the oldest things you’re wearing today?

    I am wearing trousers today that I have had around 7 years and are still comfortable (thank you stretch pants! 😄) 🌞
