October | 2012 | Sleepless In Newcastle

HEY THERE FOLKS!

Sorry for shouting but I just thought I might need to wake everyone up after a prolonged absence by me.

Things have calmed down a bit for me now and I am feeling refreshed, energised and I am ready to get going again with some new and exciting things I want to share with you all. We had a lovely week in Malta which gave us some much needed rest and recuperation time and also gave us the chance to catch up with some good friends, old and new ones. But down to business again from now on!

Firstly, I would like to report that my creative writing has been giving me a lot of ideas, a ton of pleasure and is really starting to get me excited to grab a pen and write again! I have had ideas from absolutely anywhere and everywhere and it is like having a new pair of eyes put in my head. I am looking at the world in a whole new way which has not only helped my creative writing but has also helped with my photography as well. I have had a lot of fun with both of these before I went off o holiday for a week to the lovely, sunny island of Malta.

Before I went off on holiday I had a few photographs that I had taken for my course that I thought I would share with you because I really liked them and I would love to know what you think about them. I don’t mind if it is good or bad because I am still learning and of course it is a subjective art form as well! So without further ado here we go 🙂

So what did you think? Some of the shots I am not 100% happy with but I think it isn’t too bad for someone who used to just point and click. I will be taking a lot more pictures in future because they really help fuel my writing as well.

I am hoping to start including some short stories and poetry things I am writing at the moment on the blog but I am still deciding on the best way to display them and whether they should be included in the blog or just put on a separate page of their own.

Well that is all from me for now but I hope you enjoyed the photos and there will be more updates regularly now that I am back on my feet and fighting fit again.

Until then Stay Safe and Keep Smiling

Hey folks, I just wanted to apologise for the lack of activity on the site for the past few weeks and I want to give you an update as to what has been going on in my life at the moment.

Firstly, I have not been very well and the pain side of things has been kicking my backside of late. This had led the doctors to change my medication but to do that they have to reduce the one I am on before swapping across to the new one which is more powerful. Lots of pain ridden days have been the ‘norm’ for me but thankfully it wont be for too much longer.

The second things is that I have been busy with some creative writing for my Open University course and also a Photography module (I am off there this morning) which will hopefully add some variation and depth to what I have been posting about on this site. I am really enjoying the creative process and hopefully the things that I do will be interesting for you guys to look at and read as well.

Finally we had an update about Pretzel which knocked us for six a little bit so I will definitely be posting about that in the upcoming weeks when I can get my head around how it makes me feel and what it means for the future with us as well. I hope that you can bear with me because I am planning on some big changes with the blog and also the layout/design (if I have the time to do it). I do appreciate all of the support I have had through this blog and I don’t plan on abandoning it anytime soon so please do stick around to see what happens.

So for now I will be busy writing and snapping away to make some (hopefully) cool and nice things for you all to see very soon.
