A look inside my world
I've been really struggling for months now and was coming out the other side, but instead of being gentle with myself I did the opposite, as I always do, and threw myself in the deep end! Jumped in with both feet! Cleaned EVERYTHING. Dealt with everything I'd left waiting. Walked. Cleaned. Arranged. Just did everything. I…

I think she’d been hit, she stumbled about, and kept trying to hop up the little bank on the right but falling back down … it was pitiful by which I mean the older sense of the word. Then she just…

The great, yearly "Swan Upping"
In my hunt for weird English traditions, I stumbled upon this lovely one that happens every year in July; Swan Upping. No, it's not a group of people seeing how high they can lob a swan, though I do see some amusement in that if they were fake swans. Swan Upping is an annual census of the mute swan population on the Thames…
