I have worn many hats (both metaphorically and literally) artist, singer, traveler. My favourite travel companion is my husband Daniel. He encouraged me to start this blog. I have Acute Fibromyalgia and Osteoarthritis. I love going on adventures whether big or small I also want to encourage others to have adventures themselves When I became disabled I was lost. I didn't know what to do. I didn't know what was available to me. In some small way I want to help with that if I can.

Still Here

Anyone have a really hard time focussing? If so, like me it may take you forever to finish a project. I have started so many and don’t finish them. (You may be able to tell that from the state of this blog. I am trying to catch up on things but the years pass very […]

Dominica – Part 2 – A Bit About Titou Gorge

I have been looking at activities to do when we get to Dominica. To those of you that might not have read my previous blog, it’s where my Mama was born. The rest of us, (Pops me and Dan) have never been. Now as you may know from the Hurricane Ian update, we weren’t able […]

Two activities we were looking forward to was our first SCUBA dive and a trip to Titou Gorge. (I will still post the info article I wrote before we […]

Dominica – Part One of Who Knows?

There have been a lot changes for everyone over the last couple of years. One of them in our family was that my parents moved to Barbados to take care of my Nan. We were all gutted to be separating, mainly because Dan’s family live in Ireland and my family now live in Barbs as […]
