making life a little sweeter
A few hours after I scheduled my last post, we were told that my Grandpops Jeff probably weren't going to make it through the night. As the hours went on, things drastically changed and he passed away in the early hours of the third of March. This happened eight weeks to the day from my… Continue reading Grief 2.0
As I write this, we're two months into 2023 and I'm so done with this year. What started as a fairly promising year quickly descended into grief and sadness as my paternal grandfather Stan passed away. Within a day of his funeral, my maternal grandfather Jeff was blue-lighted to hospital and then later transferred to… Continue reading Photo Diary: 2023 so far
Grief is a complex thing. People talk about the stages of grief and the different types of it but I like to think of it in more simple terms; it affects us all in completely different ways and just bloody sucks.

I've spent quite some time there before, including trying to explore it's cobbled lanes in my wheelchair… Continue reading A Day in Whitby
As I have mentioned in previous posts, we went camping in June the week of the Platty Jubes. We've been wanting to go camping again for some time and really wanted to explore some new places, rather than keep returning to Wales (even though we do love it). We stayed at Knotlow Farm Campsite which… Continue reading Photo Diary: Camping in the Peak District
The year of 26 has been a rocky road for me. Leading up to my 26th birthday I felt this overwhelming pressure to do something big, become an adult in some grand way -probably largely due to the fact my mom had me when she was 26. The year of 26 did change me in… Continue reading The Year of 26
The last full day of our time in Wales back in July was spent as the National Showcaves Centre for Wales. Now I'm not going to lie, I have no facts or info to share on this place at all. Before going I checked out the website a little but that was all. It was… Continue reading Photo Diary: National Showcaves Centre for Wales
Cascade & Cascade Temple Probably the most well-known feature in the garden, the Cascade was designed by Grillet, a French hydraulics engineer with experience of designing for Louis XIV, King of France and was completed in 1696.
