Fields of yellow

The fields of yellow are beautiful but not my friend.

I suffer with hay fever and this is what the first trigger tends to be. I use a over the counter nasal spray, make sure I use sunglasses to protect my eyes and use Vaseline around my nostrils and antihistamine tablets when it’s really bad.

So whilst I love the spring it brings unwanted health implications, for which I have learnt to manage.

This has made me think about making sure that on my trek up Kilimanjaro I have what I need to keep me healthy. There is a lot to consider altitude sickness, blisters, acute mountain sickness, travel vaccinations….so making sure I am prepared and understand what I may need and need to do before is vital.

Exploring Herne Bay

When I was younger I lived in Herne Bay and today exploring Kent took me and my family back there.

Much of the landscape is similar but there are some big changes, the pier had a fire and so feels totally transformed from what it was when I was younger. The sports pavilion that was at the end of the pier no longer exists.

The seafront gardens are still beautifully manicured with vibrant flowers with plenty of benches to sit and eat your ice cream.

A bronze statue of Amy Johnson who was the first women to fly solo from England to Australia in 1930 stands facing the sea. She sadly lost her life off the coast of Herne Bay in January 1941.

A lovely few hours spent on the penny machines, walking along the pier, discussing the sea defences, eating ice cream and strolling along the coast line.

The Rope Walk

Was a beautiful day in Sandwich today. As I walked along the rope walk this morning my mind in a place of rest and relaxation. And I can tell you it’s been a while since I have felt this relaxed, getting outside really does help you mind release stress.

Country Life

I love living in the country side so many beautiful things live here.

Some animals are easy to spot others are much shyer but this can make seeing them more magical. And as the evenings grow lighter I will be able to stay out longer exploring the beautiful Kent countryside.
