Possibilities
I have a bit of thing for hotel rooms.You step through the door into a world of possibilities with crisp white linen and feather pillows to explore and dirty. You leave the everyday behind you as you enter into a new space that is all about the bed. It invites you in and suggests to…

Fingers Crossed
17th November 2011 He is gone. All I have to do is wait and he promises me he will be back. It is only a week, usually they zoom by, but I do have a funny feeling that this one is going to drag on a bit. I have a couple of things planned whilst…

Vegas baby
22nd June 2011 “Welcome to Las Vegas” said the border control officer as he stamped my tourist visa into my passport. As he handed back my passport to me all I could do was mutter a thank you through the massive grin that was on my face. Finally I was here, back in the USA…

One Year On
5th April 2011 A year ago today I was travelling to Philadelphia to meet Him for the first time. I had waited 17 long weeks for this day, weeks which had been filled with love, passion, desperate longing and even moments of fear that this meeting might never actually take place. In the end those…

Merry Christmas!
25th December 2010 Merry Christmas to all my wonderful readers! I know it’s a bit late for some. For those of you in the Southern hemisphere it is already Sunday, and for the Europeans it is way past your bed time but I suspect the American’s are still going strong. They a good few hours…

Paris (Part 1)
22nd November 2010 3.45am! That was the hideous hour we had to get up in order to catch the train from the town I live in, to London so that we could get the Euro Star. I am not good in the mornings at the best of times but this was just silly. Luckily, he…

Knowing versus Believing
18th November 2010 In just under 24 hours he will be boarding his flight to the UK. I seem to be on a roller coaster of emotions today, one moment I am bouncy and excited, the next I distracted by the thoughts of everything I want to do to be ready in time for his…

Waiting….and Wanton Wednesday
10th November Waiting I can’t believe a whole week has gone by since I posted anything on my blog. To be honest with you it’s been a bit of a rollercoaster week, a broken down car, the stress of trying to find a replacement and the financial concerns that that brings, along with all the…

Watching
6th August 2010 (Written a week ago on the plane, slight delay in posting due to distractions! LOL) I love talking to people, making connections with random strangers; it’s one of my favourite activities. You learn so much about the word around you by talking, or it is listening? I have just spent the last…

Journey onwards
April 25th 2010 So I write again and this time from seat 34k. I should have been home by now but fate, in the form of a rather wonderful volcanic eruption, handed me 5 extra days (and there is nothing like a good eruption in my opinion) which meant that my original flight was cancelled….

K30
Written yesterday….5th April 2010 That is where I am right now as I write this. I am sitting in seat K30 on a 777 flying to Philadelphia. The movie is playing, the food has been and gone and the blind is down to block out the blinding bright rays of the sun. I look around…

So close….
March 30th 2010 6 days to go…… Where is the excitement? It’s less than a week to go now, shouldn’t I be feeling something, nerves, apprehension, worry, happy, excitement, surely I should feel something? I have waited so very long for this and endured so very much to get to this point, yet right at…

I believe
March 27th 9 days to go…… So finally we are into single figures. 9 days to go until I leave old Blighty behind for 2 weeks of all things American. American hotel, American food, American sights and sounds, American men (oohhhh, I heard they can be quite delicious) and maybe even American women (now that…

The final countdown
15th March 2010 I am going holiday. Nothing particularly remarkable about that I guess but then I don’t think that sentence really does my trip justice, because this is going to be way more than just a holiday, this is going to a journey of discovery. I have not travelled much, a few family holiday’s…
