Day trips out. Part one.
For the first time I have had a week off and have nothing set in stone and planned. I have a couple of things I want to do, like work on the garden and decorate my hall and fresh coat of paint on the front door. Both of which are done and I'm so happy how they have turned out.
But other than that I am have been waking up, looking at the weather and just deciding on the day, it's so liberating and fun!
So I'm lucky in the fact I live in the Cotswolds and also a member of the National Trust.
As I had the week off work I wanted to do some day trips.
So the first trip was 30 minutes from home to Croome Court
The gardens are designed by Capability Brown and they received a National Lottery fund of £1.8m towards restoration.

Birthday trip away. Turning 56, feeling 40!
So how on earth may I ask did that happen.
One minute your 30 off on a trip to Greece to celebrate. The next your 56!!!
On the other hand I am truly blessed to have the best person in my life, my Son who is 22 now and between him and his amazing girlfriend keep me both mentally and physically way younger.
So basically I am now re living the last 16 years, but with the addition of being slightly older, but alot wiser!
To celebrate my birthday it will be an extended affair thanks to said two people firstly involving a camping trip to my favourite country Wales!
Together, we can end the ocean plastic crisis and build a more sustainable future where humanity grows alongside nature, not at its expense."
