2407.12 THE GENERAL ELECTION 24 - CRUNCH TIME

I'm writing this post with the benefit of hindsight but the lead up was very stressful for me. I know the opinion polls ended up being correct but polls have been wrong before. 

2407.05 SILVER

On the 3rd July twenty five years ago we both said "I do", and so began our story.

2406.08 FINDING CERNUNNOS

Have you ever had a deity practically knock on your digital door? I think I might have. I think Cernnuous has been making himself know to me. Why do I think this? Indeed, who is Cernnuous? Before this I'd never come across the name but I already knew who he was.

2406.02 ATREUS

I'm a week behind in announcing this, but if you follow my social media you'll already know what's coming...

2405.11 THE USUAL POSTCARD

Our happy place... so glad to be back here. This time it's for our birthdays, especially Morticia's (as mentioned in my previous post). It's a mental unwind, a spiritual retreat and that's the reason we return year after year - not to mention some great friends. 

2405.06 SHE'S FIFTY

The most important person in my life hits a milestone birthday this week and we celebrate with a special trip to our special place.

2404.27 BABIES, CARS AND HOSPITALS

Considering just how much has been going on recently you wouldn't be mistaken for thinking that I had plenty of excuses for posting a blog. Unfortunately all I've had on my plate has been a tad overwhelming. But here we are, or at least here I am.

2403.30 END OF THE X78

OK, if you don't live or visit South Yorkshire, if you're a stuck up twat that's too good to catch buses, or you live in the future from me now - you'll probably want clarity as to what the x78 is. Well it's a bus service, and one that I've used a lot. It's also one that's been around for a long time. 

2402.18 JORVIK TWENTYFOUR

Hotel was booked last year, train sorted last month, we're ready to march on York. This Northman is coming to Jorvik.

The dog knew something was going on, he wasn't happy although he's had some fun in store with my daughter.

2402.09 THE LOST CELTS

I wanted to write this down as a way of clarifying what has been swimming about in my head in a way of making sense of it all.

My beliefs are sat firmly in the Nordic camp but I've always been very Celt-curious. 

2401.24 THE NEXT GENERATION

Our lives are full of milestones, points in our lives that map out our very existance. When we meet the love of our lives, the birth of our children, the arrival of a beloved pet. Of course these are just some of the positives - this is what I want to concentrate on today...

2401.10 VIRUSES AND LOST DAYS

Since New Year I've been floored by a virus that has kept me off work and, for the most part, in bed.

2401.01 HAPPY NEW YEAR

Another year in the bag. It's time to look at my 3 targets I set for myself and to look at the year ahead. Before we look of that let's look at my Yule experience.
