This is the sign you've been looking for neon signage

Today I wrote an article on Medium, titled “What are You Grateful For?”

I’m actually quite proud of it. It wasn’t a bad effort from someone who has had a long writing break and is just starting off a new profile from scratch.

I had a …

A long time ago, I realised I love writing. I also love dogs.

For a long time, I was a dog behaviourist, and I wrote a lot.

I started writing on Medium. I wrote all about dogs and dog behaviour over there. It was so easy. I felt important and like my words would mean something. I wrote about snippets of my life, too.

I …

We have now had our Bongo for 4 months, and in that time we have spent the princely sum of about £6,000 on repairs. We wanted a project, but quite frankly, if we had known how much of a project it was going to be, we might have thought twice. But we are here now, and we have come this far, and with every thing we get mended, the more we love it that bit…

We bought ourselves a Mazda Bongo Friendee.

We named her “The Snug Bug”.

She is filthy. She is rusty in places a girl should not feel rusty. She has a missing door handle. A bit of her tailpipe fell off. The tent roof is mouldy. She may or may not have a few leaks. The tyres need changing soon.

Oh boy, we are in love with her.

The b…

When I was a little girl, my Dad had a campervan. He had always wanted to buy another and go off around the coast in it during his retirement. Sadly, Parkinson’s and Dementia robbed him of that chance.

I was always fascinated with the idea of having my own one day, but I have never had the financial means to do so. Last year, my Dad …

At 44, I knew what I was doing and was set to do it for life. At 45, my life has changed again.

I am no longer teaching dogs. Struggles with my health (Adenomyosis) and (I’m not gonna lie) finances have made me come to the point where I can’t do it any more.

So, to avoid confusion, I’m starting my newsletter all over again. I took the drastic step of shut…
