From Wild Kicks to Wetsuit Tricks

My Early Foray into Sports

As a kid, I tried a raft of sports. Shotputt, discus, javelin… all were deemed a tad dangerous for anyone in my immediate vicinity. Eventually, I scored a place on the primary school’s girl’s football team, where I found my calling as a goalie. I always thought I’d be best out on the field, but again, it was decided that it was safer if I was tucked away in goals. Some nonsense about a wild-eyed obsession for chasing the ball like a crazed terrier.

The Water Guy – A 200th Episode Special

Every week for the last load of years, Jez has shared his amazing water shots in his Water Water Everywhere (WWE) challenge. I couldn’t let his 200th episode go by without celebrating and taking part.

While water is the star of the show, I wanted to share some of my favourite water shots… all of which capture my partner in crime and WWE’s host, Jez.

Troon: Where the Sky Meets the Sea

Hello there!

It’s getting colder here in Scotland, so I thought I’d share some summer shots for my husband, Jez’s Water, Water Everywhere (WWE) challenge to pretend it’s not so 🥶 that I’m chitterin because my poor wee toes feel frozen.

Summer days by the seaside hold a special kind of magic, don’t they? Today, I’m bringing you a slice of that magic with a few shots taken on one of our many trips out to Troon on the West Coast of Scotland.

The expansive calm of the sea under the clear blue sky was a treat for the soul, and I hope it’ll be the same for you.

Between the Lines: Hawthorn, Hope, and Storytelling

Hiya,

Here in the northern hemisphere, autumn has painted our surroundings with its rich palette of golds, reds, and oranges. The days are growing colder, and the nights are drawing in faster, and I coorie ever deeper into my heavy knit cardigan… It’s hard not to reflect on summer’s sunnier, vibrant moments.

Today, for Cee’s FOTD, I bring you a bloom from summers past – the gentle and serene hawthorn blossom. It’s a breath of fresh air.

Embracing Individuality: Lessons from a Yellow Rhododendron

Hey there, lovely people,

I hope this finds you all well. For today’s Cee’s FOTD, I’ve got another floral treat for your eyes. If you thought rhododendrons only came in shades of white, pink, or purple, think again! 🌸➡️🌼

Rhododendron Blooms to Brighten the Day

Hi there!

It’s been almost a month since my last post 😬. A brief holiday to visit the in-laws down in England, combined with an extended run-in with illness and a nightmare migraine, has kept me away. But as the petals unfurl after a storm, I, too, am beginning to recover and lift my head to the sun… well, let’s pretend there’s some ☀️

Living with complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) has its set of challenges, not only in how it affects the use of my hand and arm but also in how it impacts my immune response.
