5 things I'd like to achieve in the next 5 years




This Saturday we have a work team building day, one question we've all been asked to think about is: What 5 things would you like to achieve in the next 5 years?

Firstly that makes me 30. Secondly I can only think of life time goals - Like having a family which has no set date on it.

We all have dreams, but some will never come true - I wish I was the queen! Along with the typical ones like owning a house, being healthy, having money and living happily ever, but these don't do it for me - I need to narrow it down.......
  • To do a sky dive
  • Having a successful Photography business
  • Get married
  • Run a marathon 
  • Visit Africa 

That's my 5 year goals in a nutshell, do you ever think about it?

Typically British Summer

 Isn't it hot.. I tell you what the sun comes out and every one gets naked, not quite naked but nearly. Including me.... Didn't realise getting so burnt gives you cankles either- FAT FOOT!


RED 


The sun however makes me want to become a tourist and eat crap food- like fish and chips. Sunday is meant to be the 'day' of rest, not for me and the other 3000 at BOURNEMOUTH beach!
I like people but not this many. #crowded is an understatement.

Bournemouth Beach


Seen as I'm moving back up north this was my opportunity to see the south coast even though I've lived here 5 years!? Hence the castle below.....



Bournemouth- Christ church- Highcliffe - New Milton- Milford on sea where I can actually see the sea for miles.. That's the isle of white in the distance. Bit of geography for you there. 


We ended up at a pub- Sunday sesh I wish. Was the type of pub everyone nows everyone... bar you and when your a Newby you get stared at into a corner. look what we found though, a fricken parrot in a tree don't come across these every day. Mental! Enjoy the sun while it's got it's hat on.

Festive treats.

6 hours on a train and i arrive in NEWCASTLE. i went home for the festive season- apart from it didn't feel to festive it needed to snow. time to hit the sherry, that'll fix it a christmas tipple. mother hen recently moved home so found my-self roaming the country-side in a taxi predicting where i now lived...i used a life line and text a friend. eventually found it and a warm welcome home. Home is where the heat is... i miss an open fire. 


Turquoise theme christmas 

any one got an iPhone? get instragram (it's freeeee) amazing photography app, kinda like the twitter/ Facebook world of following and likes. i like, i love even. my mum likes a theme at christmas. Ours this year was TURQUOISE and BLACK! non of that tinsel malarky. Since I've moved out my family got a pet- a cat called jackamo. I'm allergic?!?! i hate him and he hates me. he is pretty thought.. can a male be pretty? 

Jackamo and shoes(Newlook) 

Great Nanna Palmer
also visited my family and the head of the family- Nanna Palmer. she's a beaut isn't she. 92 this year... wow thats old. love her pink dressing gown- she's got an array of colours. She's a storey teller and may add a few fibs to colour it out- 1 being she's convinced were related to royalty even got out the family tree. Nice. My family is a very female dominate family- 14/4 exact numbers.. i think. 

2012

apart from family, cats and christmas trees i met up with my friends, photographed a wedding and ate more cheese. Scott also visited the Geordie land, where he got rinsed by my younger sisters for his southern accent. New year came and new year went, spent some time with my mum who is my idol and came back to reality with a BOOM!

KENTISH TOWN

Just got back from a trip to the 'Garden of England'- where every one calls each other mush?! goggled mush and its a camel's fanny! we went to Dover castle- love a bit of English heritage free of charge of course. 

Dover Castle- White Cliffs
Look closely you can see France. so many kids bopping around also, forgot it was school holiday's. Got a kid talking to me about poo in the toilet- typical deile outing as you do. next stop Deal. 

Deile in Deal....
i made Scott stop- this was a photo opportunity.. nice place didn't stay long. have you hurd of the KINGS HEAD pub?! lush meal- i had crab and crayfish salad and Scott a steak. the presentation was top notch. 

Back to the south today. over night i've developed a hobby- cooking. made Broccoli and Stilton soup today, tomorrow quiche. wish me luck.

Holiday blueeess

Bonjorno- im new to this so tada.. im deile
I MISS TURKEY- i don't miss its food. this month i've got the holiday blues.
We got this holiday as a last minute deal- BARGAIN. Traveled from gatwick to Antalya to Alanya. To be quite honest i had no idea how big turkey was until i experienced the dreaded turkey transfers. Geography was not my strongest subject. no one- repeat no one told us you had to pay to get into the country- but you get a nice big stamp in your passport for it.
A good old chicken kebab is their signature dish. Plenty of sea food on tap. wee bit of advice... do not eat their salad = ill. The weather was fantibbly dossa- no cloud in sight. Autumn is upon us and im sure i've got that S.A.D. therefore please put me on a plane
back to Turkey. cheers
