Post Comment Love & Blogger Showcase 15 - 17 December

Hello there and welcome to the last #PoCoLo of the year, that sounds odd to be typing but Christmas is hurtling towards us at a frightening rate. Morgan and I both agree that Christmas is a time for spending with families and not necessarily online so we're taking a break until the first Friday of 2018.

If you were here last week, thank you - it was great to see you and read your posts. If you're new here, then welcome, you're going to find some smashing posts and we hope that you'll join us again in the New Year.

This week has passed in a blur, somehow it's Friday again and I'm not really sure I know how. I still have plenty of Christmas shopping to do, and we're off today so hopefully some of that will miraculously happen. I'm hoping it will anyway, and if it could happen while I'm out at lunch and enjoying myself that would be doubly good!  I very much doubt it though...

My photo this week is from our trip to Hastings last Christmas and was taken on our Boxing Day walk. It wasn't quite as deserted as it looks, but it was every bit as beautiful.

The freedom.

I fight blindly and wholeheartedly for the ones I love.

*** This is the last #PoCoLo of 2017 - join us, link up and comment away - then come back on Friday 5 January 2018 and let's do it all again!  Both Morgan and I have had another great year hosting #PoCoLo and we're very grateful for your support, and look forward to seeing you and your blog posts again next year.  Incase I don't get the chance again, have a merry Christmas and a Happy New Year ***

Post Comment Love 8 - 10 December 2017

Hello there and welcome to another Post comment Love. Isn't Christmas drawing ever closer? And if you're anything like me you're nowhere near organised and you're just hoping that it'll take its time getting here. I know that's unlikely, but I can live in hope, right?  

If you were here last week, then thank you, it was great to see you. If you're new here this week it's lovely to see you and I hope you'll enjoy the posts linked up - I know I'm looking forward to them.

It's been a week full of nights out for me, I'm up to three nights on the trot, which alone is taking its toll. There's been carol services, drinks receptions and beer pong with the students. You know, I've never been more grateful than I was during my inaugural game, and I'm thanking my netball skills for that. It's been a while since I've called on them, but it was good to see there weren't far away.

My photo this week is the decorations in Greenwich Market on the way home one night this week. They're pretty aren't they?

Post Comment Love and Bloggers Showcase 1 - 3 December 2017

Hello there and welcome to December - eek! Welcome to Post Comment Love, where any post you've written in the last week is welcome. If you were here last week it was great to see you, if you're new here then hello, I know you're going to find some great posts linked up. I know that as every week Morgan and I are spoiled.

My busyness at work is continuing and I'm arriving home each night mentally tired. I know help is on the way, and I know time spent training my two new recruits will be time well spent, but I also know I'll feel a little less effective (even more than now!) while that happens. But I will persevere, I'm good at that. 

I'm off today and if I'm honest, not only do I need it, I'm also really looking forward to it. Unsurprisingly my home life  - and its organisation - has suffered from not being around so much and while I have way too much on my to do list for one day, I'm kind of looking forward to it too.

My picture this week is more of a reminder more than anything else. A reminder to look out my hat and start wearing it as it's been pretty chilly out there hasn't it?

I started blogging as I had wanted to for a long while. I love the beauty and blogging community, but I also wanted to talk about mental health, so I do both! 

4. What do you find most challenging?

I can find time management challenging, but I'm getting used to juggling things now!

5. What is your favourite topic to write about?

I love writing about life. Daily struggles, mental health, and also life achievements. Just being a normal teen, but with an interesting perspective at the same time.

I blog for fun! It's my hobby - I'm so passionate about it!

The community is my favourite thing. And the photography.

10. Describe yourself in three words!

Loving, fun and quirky.

11. Are you a tea and biscuits or coffee and cake person?

Can I say biscuits and cake? I don't like tea or coffee! 

12. What would your best friend/OH/mum or kids say is your best quality?

I listen, and give good advice.
