100 Words : SIGN THE PETITION


There are times in life when you just have to sit still and listen.  
You have to swallow tears because 
Scrabbling in your handbag for a tissue will mean 
That you miss the next sentence with more important information.  


You finally realise that you have the power to shout via your blog
And make a difference.
The snowball effect is all that is needed
To get the word out.


Click your mouse and sign the form.
Two minutes of your time... you can do that can't you?
Your action can help save lives
SIGN THE PETITION for Save the Children.





- = - = - = - = - = - = - = - = -

This is the first part in my call to action and one of the rare times I'll become involved in a "blog hop". Two representatives from Save the Children are on their way to UN General Assembly in New York and will be pressuring David Cameron to use his governmental power to help solve the global health worker crisis.  Can you be part of the final push to reach the 60,000 signature target before Tuesday 20th September?

You don't need me to show the pictures to make you feel guilty or helpless.  We've all seen them.  Heartbreaking, aren't they?  We wouldn't want this to happen to our own children so we have to help make some noise to get global leaders to keep their promises to help alleviate this situation.


I would like to pass the baton on to the following people:
AND YOU!!!  Yes YOU without a blog!!!

Please can you share this post on your social media networks.  If you want to write your own 100-word post and link it up then that would be even more fabulous.  Just get the word out and help to reach that 60,000 signature target before Tuesday 20th September.

Thank you.

26 Bands From The 80's : Where Are They Now?

The other day, whilst out with my husband , I was listening to some UB40 in the car and wondered what they were up to now.  Then I saw this post from Buzzfeed and realised I totally needed to steal that idea.   BUT the problem with doing a "Where Are They Now" of the 80s is that they are either dead, accountants (dead accountants?) or in their mid 50's and, having realised they have snorted their pension up their nose, are dragging themselves onto the Reunion Tour concert circuit. So here are my chosen few that form my A-Z of 80's 'Where Are They Now?'   Do you fancy adding any of your own? Art Of Noise.   Last seen looking for Peter Gunn and desperately hoping that Tom Jones tells a "I know A rt Of Noise" story about them on The Voice. Billy Idol.   Currently setting off airport alarms all over the world after having a steel rod inserted into his leg following a motorbike accident in 1990.  Practicing Rebel Yell on Guitar Her...

[REVIEW] Canvas print from PrinterPix

Whilst dabbling in a bit of (very) amateur photography I occasionally have a favourite photo printed onto canvas.  It's usually a scenery picture and used to brighten up the walls in the lounge or at a focal point on the stairs.  Most recently I have had two images put through the process by PrinterPix . I sent off an image of my son after his Territorial Army passing out parade in April (proud parent moment) and one of our dog on the beach from a few months ago.  They were returned within a few days and looked even better than I had imagined. Soldier Boy is on a canvas that is 16" x 20" on a standard thickness (2cm) frame.  Michi is on a 12" x 16" canvas which is stretched onto a thickeer (4cm) frame.  Both have been printed using a gloss finish.   All canvases from PrinterPix are hand-stretched, use fade-resistant ink and tension wedges are fitted into the corners of each frame to aid stability. What do you think?  I'm in l...

7 Things To Do In Roda, Corfu

This year, our summer holiday took us to Corfu. We were staying in Roda on the north coast of the island and had a wonderful time. It's a beautiful Greek fishing village and has the most chilled and welcoming atmosphere I've ever experienced.  I'd love to share my recommended seven things to do if you visit Roda. Sunset over Roda harbour Swimming With The Fishes The coastline at Roda is completely flat so you can walk out quite a distance and still only be in shallow water.  The beach in the village is very sandy but becomes rocky as you move out of town towards some of the beach front hotels (twenty paces out to sea, it becomes sandy again). The water is generally very calm, beautifully warm and clear enough to see the occasional fish swimming by.   Chill out at the Boathouse As we walked down from our hotel, The Boathouse was one of the first bars we stopped at before continuing into Roda. It is perfectly placed between the rural coastal road that l...
