If you would have said to me only a year or so ago that I would actually start this blog instead of just thinking about it I would have probably laughed. I love reading lots of other blogs but always thought no one would really be interested in what I say / write .. but here I am with my very own corner of the internet! and I am really enjoying it, its like keeping a journal, I’d like to think that in say 10 years time I will look back on these posts and remember these times.
I started blogging only a couple of months ago, what spurred me on was a visit to an instagram and blog retreat at Cowley Manor, I wanted to have at least started blogging by then even if it was just the one post. Going there without knowing anyone was completely out of my comfort zone, but I did it and had the best of times (note to self: step out of the comfort zone more often) and I even won an Abbott Lyon watch!

Cowley Manor .. yes it really is this gorgeous
Setting it up was not too difficult, it was a basic format (& compared to some other blogs it still is), but as I gain experience and knowledge it will grow and become a lot more sophisticated. I have even had a short meeting with a social media expert who helped me “update” the theme along with giving me a few tips, I came away feeling so happy and positive, poor Mr W had to listen to the whole day I’d had later that evening!
I now have several “posts” under my belt, whether they are booker prize or blogger of the year worthy is doubtful, but that doesn’t really bother me, I really am enjoying writing my thoughts down its also making me think about subjects i’d like to talk about, some more serious than perhaps others .. you never know I may even try a fashion type post after all I am being a more positive me. Again making me step out of that comfort zone (& the zone is getting bigger).
So here’s to me continuing to bloom and to learn .. turns out i’m not too old.
I hope you’ll be here with me as I continue to bloom and enjoy reading these posts as much as I enjoy writing them.

Hi Niki!
I am so happy that you decided to start blogging! One of my favorite things about blogging is the fact that it can capture those snapshots in our lives. We can return to them again and again and feel inspired by the progress we have made since then! I am looking forward to following you and reading more!
