Saturday 3 July 2021, Day 6 of Level 4 😷

Corona Gratitude 🙏

#grateful for a beautiful day, relaxed, the sun being back, but with sudden showers in-between, with close to 8 hours continuous sleep, all making me feel on top of the world again, and just wanting to dance 💃; for spending almost all day writing the copy for the Zest website, now done and dusted; for a Vit D dose on the terrace with the cats, loving it; for a exerting walk in the sun, up the Houghton Steps and down my secret Bakoven lanes, when a sudden shower came from nowhere, getting Continue reading →

FitBit a fabulous fitness tool and motivation, discovering my health and fitness with Discovery!

I thanked her, and so began a chat about why I was in Apricale in the first place. Anna and I met for coffee, on a Monday when most restaurants were closed, so she drove us to the nearby Bajardo, where we chatted and I got to know more about Anna, and her ‘The Riviera Woman’ digital magazine. Recently she wrote to me, when she had seen on Facebook that I had completed my Book ‘SwitchBitch: My journey of transformation from Sour to Sweet’, and asked me a number of questions, for an article for her magazine.
