Fish n Chips


The quintessential British supper and never more delicious than when eaten by the sea!
This was our fish'n'chip supper one evening when we were on our recent holiday. The boxes are handy but there really is nothing like when its properly wrapped in paper.....

I wanted to take it down onto the beach, drink wine from the bottle, sit on the sand and watch the sunset while munching mine, romantic and wondrous, indulgent and simple.....
It was the fantasy of being with a lover......

We compromised and sat on the grass above the beach.....and then went to the pub......

Fuck the world! One day i am going to do that AND on my own if I have to!!!!

A Few of My Favourite Things......

Lavender and bumble bees...........


....such simple small pleasures, watching a bee buzz busily from stem to stem........
Unless you are watching it with my brother who insists we Google bees when we get home and establish which one of the 6 common bees (Mum would be most perturbed if she knew the bees in her garden were 'common'!) it was that we photographed.

You will sleep better now knowing that my model for the above shot was none other than a Bombus Terrestris!

Open Your Eyes And.......

...well ok, open your eyes, reach over the 3 feet to the window, pull up the blind and.........


That was the view from my bedroom window on my recent holiday to North Devon. I adore the sea, the smell of it, the constant movement and sound, I know I could never tire of watching the sea.

It felt a sad holiday. The last time we were there (in the very same apartment with my parents) was in happier times and we had dreams of moving down to the coast when we were older. Those dreams felt a little tattered around the edges and for me at least sort of hung in the sea breeze....

But the sight of the ocean at least brought calm and comfort each day whatever the weather.....

If Only I'd Known Then......

I was laying in bed this morning considering stuff.......as you do!
And I was thinking of things that I wish I had known when I was younger, some things as a child, some things growing up, some things grown but younger.....

So I thought I would share some of them with you! I am sure you may share some of the same and may have some others you wish to add to the list!


  • That my Mum really did have my best interests and happiness at heart and wasn't 'trying to ruin my life!'

  • That I truly was gorgeous and amazing and I should have believed it while I truly was...

  • That it was possible to not only orgasm but to have multiple-orgasms!

  • That my days at school really were some of the best of my life

  • That one day I wouldn't be able to eat whatever I wanted without putting on a pound!

  • That sex doesn't mean he loves you. Hell! It doesn't even have to mean he likes you!

  • That looking at porn doesn't mean that you (or he) is being compared...it really is JUST porn

  • That my parents are  real people, with real hopes, dreams, disappointments and feelings


  • That one day people I loved wouldn't always be around and that I should learn and listen and love them while they were.

  • That getting married doesn't mean 'happy ever after'........
