Fantastic time in yorkshire

We had a fantastic week in yorkshire , The caravan was Beautiful ,Extremely clean ,So well equipped and such a great position on the site we had no caravans to the right of us the ones at the back were elevated and quite a bit back from our van so there was only one van directly to the left of us and that was unoccupied for the week , It was sheer Bliss , This was the view from out van , Uninterrupted sea views

I spent a lot of the time on the decking soaking up the views

We visited the usual seaside towns of scarborough and bridlington wich to be honest i was disappointed with the cleanliness of the towns from previous visits , I am not sure if its to do with council cuts but they were not as clean as our last visits , On the other hand Filey just up the road was just as clean and pretty as before , We also visited Beverley , Pickering and Malton , My type of places, beautiful towns , One other let down was strawberry fields boot sale , I honestly don't know  if i was getting mixed up with another boot sale in the Area but the one i remember was huge and this one wasn't, If you live in yorkshire and know of any huge boot sales please message me to let me know , But i still as you all know me managed to get some great vintage finds , But wherever we visited  during the day it was great to retreat to our beautiful home for the week. , It was usually mid afternoon so we had plenty of time left in the day to enjoy the stunning views .

40 years wedding Anniversary

I am posting this Today  as i can't work blog posts on my phone , On sunday June the 17th we have been married 40 years , We have been together 44 years all together , We got married quite young, people were saying it wont work , They are too young but we proved them wrong , Don't get me wrong we have had our ups and downs like a lot of couples but we battled through them and we are like an old pair of socks very comfortable with each other and are still in love after all this time  , Even though it's a special occasion we still won't be doing cards and presents or parties either for that matter  , We are however going to our most favorite part of the country , North Yorkshire , In a caravan with fantastic sea views only one side of us is another van , There is an outside area attached to french doors so we can sit and enjoy the view , Weather permitting plus hopefully i will be visiting Strawberry fields boot sale too which was fantastic last time we went.

Déjà vu and Jumble Sale finds

I wish i could find dresses i like in my size at jumble sales but they are few and far between everything seems to be in a size 14 , Last year i bought this dress and it was very expensive for me at £45.00 , But i could justify the fact that as i am very , very slowly losing weight ( due to my thyroid and beta blockers ) The style of the dress would shrink with me due to the elasticated part and being denim it would last for years , So i was chuffed when i saw  this pink one in the same style that would still shrink with me , It was however a lot cheaper at £19.95 

The original Denim one.

The new pink one .

Two items of clothing i managed to get for myself for 30p each at the latest Jumble sale. 

Three lanterns for £3.00.

This Feather Eiderdown was £2.00 , I managed to get it in the washer and when the weather was nice last week it was pegged out for four days to dry.

Does anyone know whats happening to the comments ,I have answered them and published them but half of them have disappeared , Plus i have no email notification of the comments now either .

The reason for the absence

Hello i am sorry for the lack of blog posts in the last couple of months but i have being doing something that has had a really positive impact on  my health and well being and i really can't believe it, but i had to concentrate on it and only it until i have conquered it , It's something i have dabbled in on and off for years ,Yoga , Adapted Yoga , 

I started off  with just 10 mins a day now i do 50 mins 6  days a week , Whatever my condition, Fibromyalgia  as diagnosed or anything they have yet to diagnose Yoga has helped elevate two of my most problematic symptoms that have controlled my life recently,  One  is the stiffness that has made it  almost impossible to do things like cut my toenails , wash my feet and anything like gardening that i had to get down on the floor to do , The other problem was the muscle spasms so severe that they were so painful and paralyzed me from time to time , It all came to ahead when my stiffness got so bad that i was having problems with my toilet needs , The neurologist prescribed some scary drugs , That had instructions, Don't  drink , Don't drive and Don't stop taking unless you tell your doctor so i researched alternatives to my two main symptoms and Yoga came up again and again, So i gradually increased the time i did it for , I have to adapt a few of the poses like the dancers pose i cannot get my foot in my hand so i just grab my leggings and it works well for me , Some of the movements i will never be able to do properly but i am happy with what i can do and for the first time in years i can do my gardening without it affecting me and the other things listed above, This  is something that i will never give up now , Its made such a fantastic difference with the added bonus of losing inches, So now i am in control and will be back to regular blogging , See you soon xxxx
