Adventure Week 1 - Orinignally Posted 05/07/14

So, We've been in our cosy new home for a week today. It's been fab! Maybe I still feel like I'm in holiday mode, I dunno. But I love it! The sun streams in the windows all day long, I walk out and step onto lovely grass, it's quite peaceful (except for today as the people whose yard we're in are having a big party today so there's loud music and lots of kids!) and I love being so close to my Dad if he needs anything.

This week has been so free and easy! I bought a watermelon that must have weighed 12lbs and re-enacted the "I carried a watermelon" scene from Dirty Dancing. Sadly there was no lake dancing afterwards. I read 2 books and reviewed them both (The Life You Left by Carmel Harrington and Dorothy Must Die by Danielle Paige). I've started 2 new books (You Had Me At Merlot by Lisa Dickenson and Disraeli Avenue by Caroline Smailes).

I always read 2 books at a time, one on kindle and one proper book, just in case you wondered. I have done a little bit of ebay work and I have spent lots of time with my lovely man. We have chilled out. Like properly chilled out, watching tv series (Sons of Anarchy) and chatting and just being together with nothing else to worry about. What a difference to 3 weeks ago!

There's also been a big change in ME. I'm relaxed. I'm learning to let go and just go with the flow. It's so nice to not have to plan everything. I'm still working on it, but I like the idea now! I've found my reading mojo, I want to write again. I'm walking around barefoot, which is how I was brought up. I'm wearing my hair down, long and curly and loose. That's a first. Even my friend Sarah (who's my hairdresser too) said it's never looked better, relaxed and controlled curls. I just feel great for the first time in ages.

On Wednesday, we bought a bigger caravan on ebay. When they got it back here, we all just stood around and went "bloody hell, it's big! That's not going in that yard!". Sadly, it was too big for the space we have available. So, we parked it on a friends caravan yard and listed it back on ebay. We now have a better idea of how big we actually need. NOT THAT BLOODY BIG! It's ok, it was an idea that didn't work out. Nothing lost, no problem.

 Move on and keep looking. For the time being, our cosy little caravan is perfectly fine SO, that's been our first week of our Big Adventure. Let's see what week 2 brings, eh? xx

Blog Tour Stop with Review - The Missing Girls by Carol Wyer

  Welcome to my stop on the Blog blitz for the fabulous third Instalment in the DI Robyn Carter series! What They Say: One girl found dead. Another girl gone... Long shadows danced on the tin walls. Inside the trunk lay Carrie Miller, wrapped in plastic, arms folded across her ribcage, lips sealed tight forever... When a girl’s body is found at a Midlands storage unit, it is too decomposed for Detective Robyn Carter to read the signs left by the killer. No one knows the woman in blue who rented the unit; her hire van can’t be traced. But as the leads run dry another body is uncovered. This time the killer’s distinctive mark is plain to see, and matching scratches on the first victim’s skeleton make Robyn suspect she’s searching for a serial-killer.  As Robyn closes in on the killer’s shocking hunting ground, another girl goes missing, and this time it’s someone close to her own heart.  Robyn can’t lose another loved one. Can she find the sickest individual she h...

My Review of Another Love by Amanda Prowse

Description ; "In the early years, she was happy. Romilly had worked hard for her stunning, modern house in one of Bristol's most fashionable suburbs. She adored her gorgeous, gap-toothed daughter and her kind and handsome husband. Sure, life was sometimes exhausting - but nothing that a large glass of wine at the end of the day couldn't fix. But then, as deep-buried insecurities surfaced, everything started to unravel. A glass of wine became a bottle; one bottle became two. Once, Romilly's family were everything to her. Now, after years of hiding the drinking, she must finally admit that she has found another love..." What I Say: I hadn't planned on posting my review of Another Love by Amanda Prowse yet as the book isn't out until (I believe) 16th January. However, I posted a brief review on Goodreads and Amanda has been sharing it on other social media so I thought she wouldn't mind. Another Love is a stunning, emotionally intense story of a wo...
