November 2023 – Taking a step back

November was a month to take a step back and enjoy some annual leave!

I had lots of annual leave booked from the uni and I wanted to make the most of this time off, although, the business continues regardless which works well as it does give me more time to do some admin and business development.

The first couple of weeks I had the odd day off which got eaten up with general life/business admin, then one day the following week, I took myself off to London to see the Disney 100 exhibition at Excel.

A lot of people comment that I find interesting things to do and perhaps that is the case, or I am just seeking out the world in a different way, I haven’t been on any ‘big’ holidays in a while (there are many reasons for this which would fill up this post so maybe one day I will elaborate), so I use my holiday/annual leave to go on mini adventures instead.

The above pictures are the only 2 pictures I took during the day, I wanted to simply immerse myself in the experience and enjoy being completely present in the moment. It was a wonderful exhibition, although there was quite a lot of reading to do (my dyslexic brain struggled at times). It was fascinating to read the story of how Disney started and all the developments it has made in the last 100 years to give us what we see now. And makes you realise that dreams really do come true!!

I spent four days in a log cabin on a hillside, click here to read the full blog about this experience.

I welcomed in two new members of my family – Mia and Nala. They are mother (Mia) and daughter (Nala) and were rescued from the RSPCA, it was a bittersweet moment as I still miss Sophiecat greatly but felt the time was right to give some a home to some needy souls. We don’t quite know Mia’s age, we think she is around 2 years old, however, she was rescued with 4 kittens, when the RSPCA took her to the vets to be spayed they scanned her and found that she was carrying more kittens, Nala and her 3 siblings arrived on 2nd July 2023. I visited them at the cattery before I went away to the cabin. I’ve never had a kitten before as always rescued adult cats and it’s been interesting, as Mia is still quite young she is very playful and they often play together which is lovely to see, they have settled in well and enjoy having the run of the house to play, although them playing chase at goodness knows what time in the morning is wearing a little thin!

This month has felt like there have been a couple of subtle shifts in things/energy/whatever you want to call it, can’t quite put my finger on it but I feel different in a positive way!

One more month of 2023, lets see what that brings…

I'm 40 something gal living in the beautiful county of Lincolnshire, England. I run my own business which is a rollercoaster of good times and bad times but it is what makes life interesting. I'm a self-confessed foodie, which some people might think is bordering an obsession, but a good obsession I would say. I am a fully qualified food technologist, nutritionist and personal trainer and use my skills and knowledge to keep striving to better myself in all areas of my life. Despite being dyslexic I love reading both fiction and non-fiction books and usually have four or five on the go at any one time. I enjoy keeping myself fit and healthy by regular visits to the gym as well as enjoying open water swimming and sometimes I'm brave enough to swim without a wetsuit. This blog is all about my life and adventures.
