Writing

I have almost finished the first draft of my book. I am going through the process of editing parts down and building other parts up.
I have spent the whole day doing this and am very happy as this is something I have always wanted to do.
I believe we all have plenty of stories to tell and ideas to share and writing is an excellent way of doing this.
Ollie is very happy that I have been here sharing the sofa with him.
We are going out for walkies soon as it is a beautifully sunny day.

clean caravans

I guess its a b it late for spring cleaning but today has been spent cleaning and scrubbing the exterior of one caravan and the decking of the other.
Soon everything will  be clean and shiny.
A bit later I will be drinking flavoured cider with G and the dogs will be working out what snacks they can muscle in on!
Have a good day everyone.

I am excited!

You know when you pluck up courage to start acting on your goals and dreams?
Well it is scary at first and the first step is definitely the hardest but when you eventually do take that initial step it is that much easier to take another step and yet another and before you know it you are galloping towards your chosen destination.
 You know that felling?
Yes!
Well that's how I am feeling right now and last night I was so excited I found it hard to sleep.
I feel like I did when I was a kid trying to get to sleep on Christmas eve!

Life Coaching

I am currently training as a life coach. I am finding the course interesting and am enjoying writing the assignments.  Friends are being very kind and are acting as guinea pigs by agreeing to answer questions. Their responses are used to help me with writing the assignments.
It is a great day today. Broadband has finally been installed in my caravan so I no longer have to write the assignments on my phone.
It is a lovely bright evening. I can hear the birds calling over the lakes and Ollie is in a chasing dream. His little legs are moving about as if he is really chasing something as he snores!

Things are coming together.

I have spent quite a bit of time in my garden clearing the ground ready for slate chippings. I intend growing hardy plants in pots which will be low maintenance and will suit the marshy environment.
I have encountered a few obstacles along the way including problems with the chippings delivery and issues with broadband connection but I believe that these things are sent to try me and make sure I want them enough!
I have started my life coaching course and it looks like it will be very useful and rewarding.
I will be looking for guinea-pigs to test out my newly emerging skills on so let me know if you might be interested.
Life coaching is not therapy. It is good for people who are ready to make positive changes in their life.
Some coaching is face to face but increasingly people are coached on the phone and by email.
I am planning to offer all three methods depending on the person, their location and requirements.

May~ What a lovely month.

Today is the day I start making concrete plans for creating my garden at my residential caravan. I need to decide where to put the fence and make final decisions on plants etc. I also will hopefully get my TV working as the aerial will be moved into the right position.
Ollie will be staying there overnight for the first time. I am getting him gradually introduced to our new home as I don't want to rush things and have him unsettled.
I am hoping that he will like it.
His mates Burt and Rufus are staying over too so it will be a dog sleep-over!

bluebells

I have just come back from a lovely walk in nearby woods. I was with Graham and the dogs and the woods were packed with bluebells! You really can't beat this time of year. Bluebells are absolutely one of my favourite flowers. They produce a stunning carpet of colour for a relatively short time so I like to make the most of it!
The dogs are sleeping now and I am enjoying crisps and a lovely glass or two of red wine.
happy days!
