She sits, staring at the sky, her dreams far from the reality she reluctantly embraces. A shooting star passes by, casting light upon unfamiliar faces. Her thoughts dance along the waves, the sand at her feet, warm and loving. In stark contrast she behaves, as if the past were lost and merely nothing. Yet it’s … More Pave Me The Way With Streets Of Gold
If we met in the night like passing ships, then sailed by again to catch another glimpse; If we shipwrecked ourselves upon the shore, stranded together like never before; If our short precious time was filled with fun; lessons and experiences, my trust you won; If I could stay but chose to leave, to follow … More Like Ships In The Night
What will happen when day meets night, And night meets day on the other side? The vast mountains and rolling hills, The rumbling jungles, silence instills, The never ending ocean and dipping tides, The connection felt between you and I. Along the horizon a new tale unfolds, Crashes of light and colours so bold. Sounds … More Dreaming of the World and You.
Last weekend I decided to take a whistle-stop tour through four counties in good old England-shire; Great Britain: my home; my country; the place I grew up. The reason?

Now, I’m far from a globetrotting-pro, and I don’t claim to be experienced in navigating my way across rough terrain, remote desert land or arctic tundra with only 7kgs on my back and a tattered old atlas for company, but I do happen to know a few things, and what essentials to take with you … More Travel Light, Travel Safe, Travel Smart – Ten Things You Probably Won’t Need On Your Backpacking Adventure
My time in Australia came to an end a month ago…a whole month (pass me the gun), so it’s probably only right that I actually write a little something about the places I visited in the ten months I was there. Most of my blogs recently have been about my own emotional and psychological development … More And Now, The End Is Near
I read a post on elitedaily.com the other day that was entitled: I’m Not Just Looking For Love, I’m Looking For Someone Who Can Keep Up. Not to discredit the author in any way (who am I to judge a published writer…?) but I didn’t think it was particularly well written and I didn’t think … More I’m Not Just Looking For Love, I’m Looking For Someone Who Can Support Me.
This week, my blog: chasingamylou, celebrated gaining its 100th follower, so I wanted to say a huge thank you, from the bottom of my heart and also…….YAY TO ME! As a kind of mini-celebration I thought I’d post something a little different, however, writers-block has me stuck in the mud at the moment, struggling to form … More Run Towards Yourself
