My Year In Books – 2021 (part 5) Festive Edition

I read 29 books in total during 2021, believe it or not. Smashing my Goodreads challenge of 25. There were a couple of short little novellas in there, but itโ€™s sure been another year for the book. It had been a weird olโ€™ year, a bit like the previous really. Not just meaning I had… Continue reading My Year In Books – 2021 (part 5) Festive Edition

If We Were Having Coffee – Life Musing #13

If we were having coffee mine would be a hot chocolate. Iโ€™ve really got back into them lately (spurred on by something youโ€™ll see later in this post), it is the season for it anyway. Gosh has it been cold! It snowed. Ok so, it was the tiniest bit of snow Iโ€™ve ever seen. But… Continue reading If We Were Having Coffee – Life Musing #13

Accessible Advent

When I saw that @GinnyAndT was starting #AccessibleAdvent on social media I had to get involved. Every day of December I added my bit to #AccessibleAdvent by posting one thing that would make my life more accessible as a wheelchair user. For those of you that donโ€™t have, or donโ€™t follow me on social media,… Continue reading Accessible Advent

Finding the Little Joys

A few weeks ago I read a post by blogging pal Amelia at You Can Always Start Now. She was enjoying the rare treat of sitting in a cafe drinking coffee. She was โ€˜Grabbing my wins as I can get themโ€™. Luxuries and treats are considered different to a year ago. Back in the good… Continue reading Finding the Little Joys

Failing at Feeling Festive

Itโ€™s December, the first week of it has flown by and it feels weird. I donโ€™t feel festive at all. I think, because I last saw the real, living world back in March, Iโ€™m a bit frozen in time. Trapped in some kind of time warp without Richard Oโ€™Brien singing along. The seasons have changed… Continue reading Failing at Feeling Festive

If We Were Having Festive Coffee In Limbo – Life Musing #4

If we were having coffee you may need a pad and paper to take my order. Iโ€™m the kind of person you regret asking if theyโ€™d like a coffee while out, because when given the option I have the works. Plus Iโ€™m fussy and awkward and rather specific. Itโ€™s not all my fault though. Iโ€™ll… Continue reading If We Were Having Festive Coffee In Limbo – Life Musing #4

6 Ways To Get That Festive Feeling (Maybe)

Iโ€™m on my second corny made for tv Christmas film of the day, sitting beside a Christmas tree, writing Christmas cards, and I still donโ€™t feel like next week is Christmas. Iโ€™m just not getting the festive feelings at all this year. The Tree Is UpPutting up the tree is usually the start to Christmas… Continue reading 6 Ways To Get That Festive Feeling (Maybe)

12 Must-Dos On An Accessible Festive Family Holiday – Center Parcs Elveden

I did recently have a holiday though, not of the relaxing kind (although itโ€™s always a bit relaxing just to… Continue reading 12 Must-Dos On An Accessible Festive Family Holiday – Center Parcs Elveden

5 Things Iโ€™m Looking Forward To This Christmas Day

Iโ€™m watching Elf while I write this. Well I started to write this, then I ended up just watching Elf. So now Iโ€™m writing this with Elf quotes and Christmas music in my head. โ€˜I am a cotton-headed ninny-mugginsโ€™ If only I could craft as quickly as Buddy! I do love a Christmas film, even… Continue reading 5 Things Iโ€™m Looking Forward To This Christmas Day

Christmas Cheese, Chums and Norwich Cathedral

So last December I attempted Blogmas, this year I havenโ€™t a written thing. Sometimes youโ€™re too busy doing life to write about it. But that can be a good thing. December came quickly and has progressed even quicker. The festivities officially began. Iโ€™m all for Christmas but it has its time. December, not November. Although… Continue reading Christmas Cheese, Chums and Norwich Cathedral
