A Small Place in Yorkshire

 Love the fact that it feels as though you can stand behind this tree and hide away from everyone else. No one can find you!!! Beautiful greens as well. Nature getting along with each other.

 Grown over the last couple of years this new tree is starting to really show its beautiful colours and has such strength. 

  The wind howled like a banshee. Too many times had it done this and too many times had it been heard. It swayed around the building, the trees and all the objects it came near with infinite speed and accuracy; careful not to damage, but just unrest those in it's path and earshot. Outside was dark with the exception of a full moon glaring down and making natural light to those who ventured out, if they dare. The house stood still with its gables and turrets staying strong despite the screaming of the wind and it's speed. Little footprints appeared in the dewy grass forming as they were trodden. No person to be seen but footprints manifesting. Across the grass, onto gravel up to the main door. The door did not open but welcomed it's visitor silently and in stillness.

When I finally passed I was so super excited and was just so pleased that I had finally managed to do it.  A couple of months later I got a car for myself. The first day I drove it I went with my other half and he drove it to a quiet spot. It was rush hour traffic at the time and when I came away from the place we were at I got stuck in traffic and stalled it. I was ...

  Every January I always think about what I want to achieve in the upcoming year and what I would want to push myself for. Sometimes it can vary each year, but what I find myself doing is coming up with the same things! Less stress, more organisation, spend more time with loved ones, do one thing everyday that makes me happy, learn something new at least once a month. What I have just realised is that all of the above is really centered around my mental health and wellbeing. It's not about gaining financial wealth (although that would be very nice!) or gaining personal property and items, but about making sure I can focus on health and making me better. If I can do that then the wealth etc may follow! You never know! It is no different this year. I want to focus especially on my mental health as over the last 18 months or so that has really taken a beating and I think I have come to a point that it is really hard for me to make a comeback to the person that I used to be, but this i...
