#LittleLoves – July 2022

by RachelSwirl July 29, 2022

So here we are at the end of July already, the summer holidays have finally arrived, and the next six weeks are our own to enjoy. It’s been a busy month, certainly so towards the end of term as we endured an endless realm of appointments and activities before the big break arrived. So without further ado, here are a few of my #LittleLoves from the past month. Read Month after month I’ve continued to promise myself that I’ll buy a new book and get myself back into reading though up until now I simply haven’t had the time. With …

#MySundaySnapshot – Soaking & Sky Gazing 08/52 (2021)

by RachelSwirl February 21, 2021

Welcome to this week’s #MySundaySnapshot post, which is part of a snap-sharing-blog-linky series that you are very welcome to join. Click here for further information and guidelines upon this linky should you wish to take part. I’ve spent the majority of this week sky-gazing whilst soaking outside. I can’t tell you how great it feels to lay back in the bubbles whilst watching the clouds float by. Sadly the weather is now far too wet and windy to be sat outside but I’m hoping that once Paul builds our pergola that we can enjoy the hot tub all year round. Bring on the spring sunshine! …

Things I have Liked and Loved in July 2018

by RachelSwirl July 31, 2018

July has been one of the hottest months in the UK that I think I have ever experienced, as expected though the weather seemed to wane the moment that the summer holidays actually arrived. July has also been an incredibly busy month for my family and I. I feel as if we’ve barely had the time to stop for a second.

To celebrate the summer and to highlight the ‘positive points’ from the past …

Resolving Issues

by RachelSwirl October 4, 2017

As is life I am often faced with a few problems from time to time. The saying goes that it ‘comes in threes’ but as for this household I’m convinced otherwise as our list seems endless! My parents used to say that ‘The Gremlins’ were visiting when they struggled with breakages and such-like which seems more suited to our situation. For the past three or four months my Macbook has seemed rather disgruntled each and every time I have restarted the machine. It seemed to require something termed as ‘Keychain Access’ passwords for numerous applications and after having followed Googles …

Black Friday – Deals Or Deception?

by RachelSwirl November 25, 2016

It’s officially ‘Black Friday’, the latest American fad to hit the UK. As a lover of shopping, there’s nothing quite as satisfying as ‘bagging a bargain’. Black Friday however doesn’t seem to be all that it’s made out to be, I for one am certainly nonplussed by the so-called ‘deals’ which can apparently be had. Black Friday – Deals Or Deception? I purposely stayed up till past midnight specifically to carry out a little bit of ‘relaxed retail’ from the comfort of my sofa only to find that many of the ‘Black Friday’ offers certainly aren’t as cost-saving as all the hype them …
