After the disaster of Sunday, I am pleased to report that my mother is safely back in the UK. This of course means that I am here too. This is not quite what I had planned. On the upside I will, albeit extremely briefly, see both of my sons at the same time. This willContinue reading “All at sea”

The other day someone asked me to translate mindfulness into French. It was not an easy task. I spent some time thinking about it but was unable to come up with a satisfactory translation. Thankfully a friend of mine was able to come up with this. Today was my time for Therapie bien etre. IContinue reading “Therapie bien etre”

As is often the way I was about to start my first sentence with so! However that really isn’t a good way to start. Thus I will try to remember to find other openers! I had expected that by now I would be basking in total isolation and crocheting to my heart’s content. Unfortunately thatContinue reading “How did that happen?”

It’s been a strange week one way and another and suddenly it is the weekend again. I know that tomorrow will be about packing my mother and collecting my sister-in-law who is coming to take her home. So tomorrow there might not be too much relaxing. I’m hoping that Sunday will be all about crochet.Continue reading “C’est le weekend!”

It’s been one of those days when really not a lot has happened. I am now sat at our local lake with a golden retriever barking at me. I threw a stick in the lake for my dogs and he seemed to expect me to find one for him. For a day towards the endContinue reading “Something and nothing”

As you may or may not be aware my mother spent a week in hospital at the beginning of August after an un-diagnosed issue. I went over to the UK whilst she was in hospital and brought her back here two weeks after she was discharged. She is now much stronger and has decided toContinue reading “Mother’s day and Gluttony Chut(e)ney”

I am very excited to announce that the first retreat is being launched at the Gite d’etape des Korrigans. This will be a full-board, immersive experience. Ann Buckwell will be leading on Mindfulness. She is highlyContinue reading “Mindfulness: a creative approach”

So whilst writing this I am in a queue to be connected to someone at Google. I have been involved in this process for nearly two hours. One of my emails wasn’t working. Apparently it was out of data. I bought data but still no joy. So now I am involved in deleting an accountContinue reading “Oh it all takes time”

As you will be aware this week has been challenging. So I am rather glad that it’s coming to a close. I had hoped to have been able to report some interesting news today but sadly no. Unfortunately I am not very well which has thrown a further spanner in the works! I managed toContinue reading “An end to the week”

This week has not gone as had been expected. So here we are at Thursday with far less achieved than I had hoped. However there are some things that I can tick off my list. I have sketched out a reasonably detailed plan for the first retreat. I have thought about some of the thingsContinue reading “A strange day”
