Update 2020-2022 … FINALLY!
A new blog post… FINALLY. It’s been over a year, right? Maybe even 2 years. So here goes. An update… I am in the process of finding myself & purpose in life. I am thinking of starting up Yoga & meditation daily but I am still not too sure how to go about it – as it’s all new to me. All I know is it’s meant to have many health benefits. I’m done with education, in every way, because it really doesn’t suit me. I’ve also found over the past few years I have gained a few stone & lost some weight in lockdown but become less motivated to…

New Years Resolutions 2021
One of the things I always forget to do, is make a New Years Resolutions and even when I do make them, I nearly always forget to fulfil it. So as a fresh start in 2021, I am going to write it down on this blog so I can’t wimp out.

She looked once more and there was a figure on the floor, the person’s face wasn’t visible but whoever it was looked out of place. Who was it & why was he…

My Journey with Languages, in 2019
This post was written before: published & then deleted… Let’s try again! I started learning languages while I was in an English-speaking Welsh secondary school (USA: high school). There are two types of schools in Wales, one that teaches in Welsh, or in English. They are both very well established but it depends on the student & parent whether they want their child to speak Welsh well/fluently at home. My mother decided to choose an English speaking school as neither I nor my family can speak any Welsh. This worked out well for me, as I never liked the language anyway. FRENCH: My real journey with languages started when we…
