Keep calm and Zumba!

I'm really getting into my zumba class now I've done salsa before but never zumba and I'm loving the combinations of moves and energy involved.  It's really great for your mind as well as your body as it gets you away from it all as you really can't think about anything else when in the class as your focusing on your moves, making sure you don't crash into the person next to you or the wall, your coordination and sometimes the pain!


This definitely applies, zumba absolutely helps keep me calm.


I wish I did but I don't look anything like this when doing my moves........probably more like this! 


Are you a fan of zumba or another kind of dance exercise??

Money doesn't grow on trees.....eggs do!

This week I'm going to be decorating my abode with everything Eastery (not a word I don't think?) and Spring timey!  Yes the floral bunting will be making an appearance and daffodils and tulips galore but its all about the Easter tree, you have to have an Easter tree as your centrepiece, these are some of my faves and I will definitely be stealing some of the ideas..........

Doh a deer a female deer.......

..........ray a drop of golden sun.......well that's quite enough of that, but that is exactly what I saw when I opened the bedroom curtains this morning. A fabulous female deer in our back garden, how proud and tall she stood, ears and nose twitching, looking all about her, it really was a fabulous sight, it made my Sunday that's for sure.

Nobody's Died!

A 4am start, well actually a midnight, 130am, 3am start as when I'm getting up at an odd time I'm paranoid my alarm won't go off, even after setting both iPhone and iPad alarms I still wake up every hour, am I the only one that does this?

So we were off at 530am to start the caravan cleaning for the so called English Summer season, it was manic, dust, dust, dust........broken smoke alarms, making hundreds of beds, and the weather didn't let us down rain, rain, rain oh and gale force wind!

After 8hrs of that it was back home for a chilling Friday eve........or not as the case maybe.  Travelling home and the work van decides to go all kit on us, flashing lights, dashboard symbols and slowly very slowly dying then death!

The alternator died tonight RIP!  But as my lovely mother says when these days are sent to try us 'well it's not that bad, nobody died' yeah thanks Mum! Bless her x so it really was one of those days when only a glass of Pinot will do.......


.........ah yes all is well tomorrow is another day as they say yes it is its Saturday!

Carry on Camping

Well not strictly camping more caravaning, caravans are filling my head as our new caravan cleaning contract season begins this weekend.  We are cleaning the static style some of them are really like home from home very lovely indeed, some are a bit more shabby than chic.  I thought I would take a look a some of the touring kind, retro kind........

In at the deep end!

Attempting to block out the cold and rain of the English so called Spring weather I am thinking ahead to the Summer and namely my Summer break in Marrakech.  I've been digging out my Summer clothes, dreaming of the good ole times, and my cozzies..........mmmmmm a new bikini for Marrakech was definitely on the cards! Of course one needs to look her best around the private pool and at Nikki Beach!  Not that i will look anything as good as these beauties but a good bikini and a spray tan is a good start isnt it?  So what look to go for, decisions, decisions........

......I've already got a nautical swim suit so maybe not......

.......I do love these high waisted bottoms but for Marrakech??

Really like the laser cut bikinis and swim suits this is a possibility........

.......tassles yes def like the tassles & ruffles, and jewels there's more to this bikini lark than I realised!
