#familymatters #britishcaravanholiday Today I woke up in Kessingland, in Suffolk, by the beach. We’re going back home after a four days’ caravan family holiday. Holidays the British way. Falling asleep to the wind and crackling of the metal underneath, and waking up to pouring rain or to the sea gulls claws promenading above. In Portugal,Continue reading “Menopausal Monday #14”

Menopausal Monday #8
Self Talk The Christmas tree is now down, meaning this festive season is officially over. But it’s going to take more than the absence of twinkling bright lights to drag me into a blue state. There’s a restlessness left in me that’s pushing me to be optimistic, in spite of all the ongoing bad newsContinue reading “Menopausal Monday #8”
Menopausal Monday #5
Self Talk I used to enjoy reading. I used to enjoy writing. Always loved to socialise and meeting new people. Even though I was a bit of a geek and loved playing around with MS Access and the primary scripts of web designing (yes, I found fun and sometimes mindblowing 😂). Our active life getsContinue reading “Menopausal Monday #5”
Big little gestures
Giving way, holding a door, using “please”, “thank you” and “sorry”, supporting someone for a greater good without advertising. The proactive kindness has seen better days.

Skilled Trades are Back!
I’m loving the news I’m coming across lately. Finally we’re starting to see a career rewind 🥳 Our society was begging for a more ruthless shift in global future professional framework. It was about time we headed back to the drawing board! To slower and happier days for the younger generations 🥂
Menopausal Monday #3
Self Talk The reasons why I can’t sleep are typically related to five things: (Often related to item 1 and 3 for me 😬, and more often than not in a double wammy). I keep trying to convince myself to be kind to myself and to take it easy, to accept that not everything isContinue reading “Menopausal Monday #3”
Menopausal Monday #2
Self Talk ” I’m exhausted.” I try and stick to all the right things on autopilot, so I don’t have to make choices (or wrong ones). It helps me stay on track. Some days it works, others require a bit more effort. I reckon that if I’ve got the healthy food and exercise plan right,Continue reading “Menopausal Monday #2”
Perks of age
Being able to see through people’s intentions and quickly picking up on chemistry, vibes, and cues is a privilege mostly earned with age and experience. A rare few may be naturally gifted to identify red flags. However, in an increasingly virtual world, these cues may be harder to pick up, especially for those who areContinue reading “Perks of age”
