Sunday, 31 May 2015. Just every now and then, I'd really like the world to pause a bit. I seem to have next to no time to spend with family or friends and an incessant list of things to do, mostly related to work. 'Time off' feels like a never event and this year is passing in a blur. And walked a 13 mile circular trip up to West Runton via Norfolk's high point at Beacon Hill, before heading on to Cromer and back to Felbrigg. Lovely sunshine heading through woodland. We decided to head up to the coast ag...

Just so...: July 2014
http://justso-sandra.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Friday, 25 July 2014. We have had some truly beautiful days lately. Frustratingly most of them I glimpse through the window at work now and again, and I have struggled to get away early enough to enjoy the warm evenings. But a couple of evenings ago, we just decided to take something to eat and catch the last hour of sun at Whitlingham Broad. The light was lovely. Tom was looking a bit wistful staring into the distance. As we watched the sun dip behind the trees. Loving this warm weather. The light was a...

Just so...: September 2014

Monday, 22 September 2014. Living the dream - things that memories are made of. My youngest son and I have shared something of an obsession with VW campers for some years now. We have admired them at our local VW festival, oohed and aahed when we spot one on the road and planned our 'if we win the lottery.' trip round the world. (We don't actually do the lottery, minor detail.). Check out their website if you are a VW fan - they have some lovely vans! The following day saw us heading on to Devon, with a ...

Just so...: February 2014

Saturday, 15 February 2014. This week was a tricky one, not helped by the miserable weather. Much as I don't want to wish the days away, I am really struggling with winter blues at the moment and feel sure that things will feel brighter when the weather picks up. Feels like the barometer has been stuck on this for forever. And twice this week I have been soaked to the skin in spite of multiple layers and an attempt to keep some of the rain off. Don't think I have ever used my umbrella quite so much!

Just so...: December 2014
http://justso-sandra.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Sunday, 21 December 2014. Time seems a bit stacked against us all this week with so much to do but just wanted to say quickly how much I appreciate all your kind thoughts after my last post. It is comforting to know I'm not going crazy and other people have a sense of where I'm at - I've lost count of the times I've been told to just 'get out there' (not ready to do that yet! So your empathy, words and virtual hugs was overwhelming. I am doing ok I think and guess time will do its thing eventually. I val...

Just so...: Photo scavenger hunt
http://justso-sandra.blogspot.com/p/photo-scavenger-hunt.html
I got caught up with Kathy's photo scavenger hunt. Idea early in 2011 and got hooked. I love the fact that it has made me think a bit about what is around me and I love to look at the way others interpret the themes. I've had a few months when I haven't managed all (or indeed any some months! But am tackling it again this year with renewed determination and enthusiasm! Follow the flickr link in my sidebar to have a look at photos in the group. Do you see what I see? Left to right and top to bottom:.

Just so...: where is the year going???
http://justso-sandra.blogspot.com/2015/08/where-is-year-going.html
Tuesday, 4 August 2015. Where is the year going? I can't believe I haven't managed to write anything for over two months! I feel a bit like it helps me rebalance and accept, or at least attempt not to make judgements about whether I'm coping with life or not. Some stuff I just can't control and I am trying to just let it be. (I can't say I always succeed but I'm trying! The food stays in the fridge for longer, the washing machine is on less often. But goodness, I have missed him too! As you get nearer to...

Monday, 23 February 2015. With a bit of bright sunshine today and previous plans for the day going awry we decided to head up to the coast again. I've written about Happisburgh. Before (almost exactly a year ago, it seems! It was a regular haunt of ours when the boys were small. At that time it had a lovely sandy stretch of beach with shallow pools that formed behind the wooden sea defences, perfect for toddler paddling. This way faces back toward Eccles-on-sea to the East. Particularly when you consider...

Just so...: October 2014
http://justso-sandra.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Monday, 13 October 2014. Moments that make you think. This week has been a bit mad. In addition to the usual manic work stuff, a few 'old house issues' becoming apparent (leaking drain, damp, condensation.) and the general day to day stuff of living, I've had 2 trips to London. Work related rather than pleasure exclusively, as a result of which I've decided a 2 hour plus each way commute is really not for me! I was keen to see it before it is dismantled in November. Fortunately, within a day a kind home ...
