A 10th anniversary reflection Tomorrow’s my birthday. But this birthday is a little more special as I’m also celebrating the 10th anniversary from when I did something incredibly stupid and ended up spending a birthday in hospital. I’m posting this today because the incident I’m going to talk about actually happened exactly 10 years ago... Continue Reading →
Prudence at sea
I am not the biggest beach fan, in fact you’ll rarely see me by the seaside. The few times I do go to the beach, it’s usually because of friends who organise a beach day and it would be a good chance to spend some time with them. As I sit here writing on a... Continue Reading →
Getting back out there…
This post has been a long time coming, but sometimes life throws us curve balls which put us completely off balance, and the past weeks have been just that. I cannot say that I was completely removed from society during this isolation period. There were days I just had to leave the house and go... Continue Reading →
My Zen place… excluding the sunburn
As a little girl The Little Mermaid was my number one movie and the VHS tape was always on repeat. I used to sing all the songs but close my eyes whenever Ursula came on screen.

Brightening up the house one blossom at a time
I think it's truly amazing how parents manage to instil in us 'loves' and 'passions' for a number of different things. I know I definitely got the love for music and dance from my parents, which seems to have been passed onto them by their parents and grandparents. It also seems that with each generation...

The one that stole my heart
Just over two years ago a little baby girl changed my world beyond my imagination and stole the biggest part of my heart. The arrival of this mega change to my life came as quite a surprise though. Here’s the story... I had dogs at home for most of my life as I was growing... Continue Reading →
Grateful for simple things in harder times
Let’s be honest, the situation we're currently living in was unexpected and hit most of us hard. All our lives we hear about wars and illness and poverty, and in our minds those are things that happen in remote countries and to other people. The island seems to enclose us in a sort of protective... Continue Reading →
50 Shades of Purple
I don’t think I can call the page The Klutz Diaries without sharing a few episodes that show how truly clumsy I am. So here are some instances that have been so “traumatic”, they are still ingrained in my memory even though years have passed. I’m constantly tripping over here, there and everywhere; but when...

Curtain up in 5!!
Hi there! Wow. I can’t believe I’m actually doing this. If I’d written a post every time I thought about starting a blog, I think I could have written a trilogy novel by now. But I guess it’s never too late!
