Soundtrack To My Life - Lynn

Soundtrack To My LIfe
Soundtrack To My Life visits another of my friends from "that parenting forum I used to frequent back in the day" that I keep mentioning. Thanks to Facebook we manage to keep in touch but I have watched her journey through marriage break-up, to single woman and then into a new and better relationship.  Lynn's Soundtrack to My Life tells that story really well - and I just knew that Mr Brightside would be in there somewhere!

REM - Man On The Moon

This takes me to a trip to Alton Towers with youth club, on a minibus smoking out of the window.
Oh, how grown up we thought we were. If only we knew back then how easy life was being 15!



Robbie Williams - Angels 

This song was my first dance to a man I married at 19.
I knew on the morning of my wedding it wasn't right, I sat on the step at my mum's at 6am with £100 in my purse, I should have ran when I had the chance!
It was our first dance and our last dance together.  Every time I hear it I don't feel sad.I feel relieved I'm not in that relationship anymore!



The Killers - Mr Brightside 

When I was newly single, my best friend Karen was always there for me.  We relived our youth going out when we had the chance watching live bands - our best song was Mr Brightside.
One of my best memories is going to Manchester to see The Killers live.  It was a day that will stick with me forever!
Karen now lives in Oz, but that song will always remind me of her. She is, and always will be, my best friend.  After all, we know too much about each other not to be!



Paloma Faith - New York 

This is the song that made me realise I was a strong woman who could make it on her own. I got myself a job I enjoyed and made so many new friends, was happy in life and met a very special man.
Our first weekend away we went to see Paloma and I stood and smiled when this song came on.  I knew that I had come a long way on my own bringing up two girls and now I could do it with my best friend and husband-to-be by my side.




Etta James - At Last 

Ste and I danced to this when we got blessed. It was the most amazing day with the people that matter the most.
The words to the song were so true.  At last, my love has come along and lonely days are over....

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...
