Je t’ame Paris
Yes I went to Paris and managed to eat my way through all the good food Paris has to offer. Sadly I did not remember to take photos of everything and in fact enjoyed myself immensely. I do have a good amount of photos to share bore you with. The apartment was quite small, however…
Totally switched off
Oops, meant to post this BEFORE I left for Paris, but just the same I will post it, and move on to what I did in Paris in the next post! Steph Doing the Berms! I rarely have weekends where I totally switch off, and am totally in the moment. I always have my cell…

How do you stay on track when you have a stressful week
After the week from heck last week, I had the most relaxing lovely (media free) weekend with hubby. For once in the UK we had a lovely warm sunny weekend and could get out and cookout all weekend. I got a great run in on Saturday, then a long punishing MTB ride on Sunday along…
Whew what a week!
Wow what a long week. For the last 10 stress filled days straight I have been working 14 hour days minimum. I would give a kings ransom to be here, wherever that is! It’s the kind of stress that after a while you are just exhausted all the time and find even eating a chore. I have…
