just being, hanging out and the difference of one person

today was a strange old day...... a lot running through my mind....but it felt important to just 'be'

Alex and I went for a SUP at Greve de Lecq after work..... felt so good to be with a great friend, hanging out, laughing, and thinking about Rob's smile

It is amazing what a difference one person can make to a situation...... good or bad, but thankfully, for me, tonight it was all good :)

an inspiration, true friends and count your blessings

a very awesome friend passed away yesterday whilst on a surf trip in Indonesia.... very sad times, but the one thing that shines through the darkness is that he lived and loved to the fullest...forever chasing waves, dreams and always, always had a huge smile on his face. Rob, you are a true inspiration to us all xxxxxxx R.I.P.

It is at moments like these when true friends pull together .... doesn't matter how long it is since you last spoke, or hung out together, its just about being here now

so important to take a step back and count your blessings..... realise the good that is in your life and celebrate it..... tell the people that you love and care about that you love and care about them.....

La Pulente, funny silly tv and after work SUP

If you live near the beach then you'll know that everyone has their own special spot...the place where they always go.... the little bit of the beach which they can call their own.... this is mine....La Pulente

sometimes its nice just to fub out and watch some goofy tv....just to turn your brain off for a while

a lush SUP after work around the reefs..... the beauty of this coastline blows me away

connection with the ocean, early paddle and late swim

feels so amazing to have my connection back with the ocean..... the sea is my haven, the place I can go and just be

went for a super early paddle...I think it was about 5.30.... I love this time at the beach..... no one around, the water was just sparkling and still and so blue....this is what makes me happy

another awesome day finished with a late swim....... snuck out after dinner and headed to the beach to jump in the sea

quiet time, delicious onion tart and beach sunset

A quiet Saturday spent mostly in the sunshine working ..... just enjoying some noise-free calm

mmmmm a last minute decision to make a super yummy caramelised onion tart with feta..... sooooooooo good

days like today, it just feels so right to start and finish it at the beach. So, after dinner, I called Alex, headed to the beach, had a swim, a stroll and then a glass of wine and a square of Green & Blacks chocolate whilst watching the sunset with an awesome friend..... this is how days are supposed to end :)

end of a crazy week, I did ok and staying in

wowzers, what a week.... very happy that it is Friday :)

first week of Jeff not working, and I think I did ok. Lots of things running around in my brain, and lots of super early mornings but feeling pretty happy with my progress

staying in...... tonight was one of those will I, won't I nights.... was supposed to go out, and then it got to about 9pm and I realised that it would actually be kinda nice to stay in and get an early night.... I admit it, I'm a grandma

filing cabinet, my recipe books and a quiet night

who would have thought a filing cabinet would bring so much excitement.... thats what I get for being a geek I guess

on opening the boot of the car, I realised that Jeff had boxed up my recipe books and brought them back for me.... that made me smile

a still, quiet night filled with reflection, some pretty blissed out music and amazing smelling candles
