About Me

I'm a mum to one, wife to a very outgoing, crazy, outdoor loving, triathlete type (2 times Ironman) husband, and have a very loopy yet affectionate cat called Snickers.  I'm also South African Expat living in the UK. 

Well, that changed!

 

I'm a single Mum to two amazing kids who compete on a regular basis as to who can give me the most grey hairs.  Still proudly South African and I've been in the U.K. for nearly 16 years now.


One thing that I've realised over the past few years is to never let any one person or thing define who you truly are.  I've spent the best part of nearly two years' trying to remember who I was at the start, what I love, value and aspire to be and what I won't accept. 


Why did I Blog?  Why am I picking it up again?
This never changed.  I still dream of writing a book, and I fully intend on making this happen.  Blogging is my way of developing my writing skills and creativeness; it's like a form therapy to me.  I've always loved to read, spending hours in libraries and book stores and creating elaborate plots and wholesome characters in my head.


There is something so unique and intoxicating about the smell of a new book, how the pages are so crisp that the book almost creaks in your hands as you open it for the first time.  It entices you in and then inevitably swallows you whole until you have come to it's final page.  I used my Kindle App and Apple Books for when I commute to and from work as it's easier and gives me one less thing to carry, but nothing can beat a good old-fashioned book.


Here's to the future, new beginnings and no bollocks approach to life as a whole.
