Recovering From The States Island Walk

The sun coming up for States Island Walk

Sometimes life likes to remind me that I am no longer in my twenties; that I am no longer as young as  I try to kid myself I am. Normally, I am dealt with this reminder when I look at myself in the ... Read More

  • Throw back to summer and that time we ran into the Hulk at Disneyland Paris. I fear that me and the Hulk might be quite similar. Nope, I'm not green and sadly I don't have those muscles 💪. But whenever anyone mentions the Xbox I go a little Hulk like. I can see the benefits of the Xbox but it still makes me a little grumpy. I've written a post about why it is driving me 'x-tremely' 😉 bonkers. Link in bio. Ps is it Friday yet? #disneylandparis2018 #disneylandparis #disneyphotography #hulk #xboxone #childofig #capturingmoments #capturingchildhood #myhappycapture #myfamilyadventures #littlestoriesofmylife
  • "Aprils have never meant much to me, autumns seem that season of beginning, spring" - Truman Capote. The calendar says that it's autumn but it still doesn't feel autumnal enough. Over on the blog (link in profile) I'm sharing why I'm longing for autumn. #seascape #beachlife🌊 #beachwalk #theislandbreak #vitaminsea #visitjersey🇯🇪 #beach🌊 #islandliving🌴 #autumn🍁 #beachlifevibes #exploreuk
  • "Sunsets are proof that no matter what happens, every day can end beautifully" Kristen Butler. Yes, I know, I know, I'm an Instagram cliche but I do love a good sunset and I do love this quote ❤ This is the view from our bedroom window. We have been living here for 4 months now and I will never get bored of this view 😍 In other news, over on the blog I'm sharing my review of Clare Pooley in conversation at the Jersey Festival of Words (link in profile). She was incredibly inspiring 🙌💪and she has got me thinking... #sunsetjersey #instasunsets #instasunsetlovers #positive_vibes #postiveenergy #positivequotes #quotesaboutlife #quotestoliveby
  • "Look deep into nature and then you will understand everything better" Albert Einstein. Over on the blog (link in profile) I'm talking about Bryony Gordon. Last weekend I saw her in conversation at the Jersey Festival of Words. She was brilliant ❤. It's made me realise that I really need to start looking after myself better. I need to exercise, I need to take the time to get outdoors, even if it's just a quick walk over lunch in the rain. I hope that you all had a lovely weekend. In other news did you watch Doctor Who?

  • The latest @mumsnet book club novel has taken me to the very edge of human despair. Mother by Hannah Begbie is beautifully written and it caused such a torrent of emotions that I had to ration my reading of it. Too many pages, too quickly, and I felt that I would fall into the lake of bleak despair. However, this novel is a very important one and one we should all read. Head over to my blog post to read my full review (link in profile).

  • Pulling our best strong pose. No, we aren't doing the YMCA 🤣 but we are feeling very inspired after a fabulous weekend at the @jerseyfestivalofwords. We are so lucky to have such an amazing literary festival on our little island! I watched the brilliant @bryonygordon and the fantastic @clare_pooley (you can read my posts about it tomorrow) and Oldest was so excited to meet Andy Cope. He is one of her favourite authors! I was also very chuffed to be speaking at the festival. How did I get on? You will have to read my post to find out, link in profile. Thank you again Jersey Festival of Words ❤ . . . .#jerseyfestivalofwords #jerseyci #channelislands #literaryfestival #theislandbreak
  • House goals 😂 It doesn't have damp but there is a dragon living in the basement 😱 This photo was taken when we visited @disneylandparis in August. We stayed in a Disneyland hotel and that meant we were able to take advantage of Magic Hour! Head over to the blog (link in profile) and read our review of the hotel we stayed in, how we found the food and all of the extras you are given as a Disneyland hotel guest. . . . . . . . .#DLP #disneylandparis2018 #disneylandparis #disneylife #disneyland #disneylandparis25 #disneyphotography #disneycastle #travelblogger
  • Take That are going back on tour again and I'm back on Instagram. No, there are no similarities😂. I don't live the life of a pop star but I can do a mean rendition of many a Take That song. Anyway, I have not been on holiday! No, I've been having all of the fun with a virus and a kidney infection! But I'm feeling loads better now - yaaay! I've also finished reading this brilliant book (link in profile). This book is set over three hours and I pretty much read this novel with an obsessive fervour in just over three hours. It's a frantic read and at times you will feel like you are strapped into an out of control rollercoaster. You will want to read this novel. Head over to the link in my profile to read my full review. ( Disclaimer I was gifted this book so I could review it for the Mumsnet Book Club) I hope that you are all well. I've missed you 😘 . . . . . . .#mnbookclub #mumsnet #bookblogger #booklove #booknerd #booksofinstagram #bookgeek #booksbooks #bookish #instareads #fiction #literaturelover #literary #goodreads #readersofinstagram #readersofig #bookblogger #bookaddict #bookaholic #booktastic #bookstagram
