November = Bonfire night!

29.

NOVEMBER???!!! Where the did November come from? This year is whizzing by so unbelievably quickly I've almost got whiplash! Soon it will be Christmas, quickly followed by New Year and we start all over again lovelies! 

 I'm currently on Spotify and I've gone onto the Radio section and chose to listen to some Singer/Songwriters and the first song on is Damien Rice - The Blower's Daughter, this song is absolutely stunning! I beg you to listen to it, Damien Rice's album O was one of my favourites a few years ago. I would just listen to it when I was struggling and I'd just relax, have a little cry to myself and sing the house down to all the songs. Beautiful, if any of you listen to my music suggestions please listen to this one. 
If you listen to the song that picture will make sense.
In a few days time so many of us will congregate around a big bonfire in a field where the children are excited by the toffee apples and the mystical magic of the sparklers that we all use to write our names in mid air. As the fireworks zoom into the sky and make their exploding sounds we all look up to the sky in amazement of how all the colours disperse into nothing. The oo's and the ahh's from everyone and the reflection of the orange and red flames in all our eyes is truly perfect. It's a shame that those feelings of that night only seem to be there on the 5th November, bonfires and fireworks any other time of the year don't have that same effect...to me they don't anyway. 

 I love this time of year, getting cosy in big jumpers and having every part of yourself wrapped up in multiple layers of knitwear, but the tip of your nose always turns red from the bitter icy air that is freely floating around. As November slowly grows into itself and December appears, hot chocolates will be the drink of choice for most. Christmas decorations will be popping up more and more in each shop and we will be all panicking about what presents we still need to buy for our loved ones. We dislike the stress of the build up but when the day comes it's totally worth it. 


This time of year is about togetherness, it's about friends, it's about family. I can't wait to to see my niece turn eight years old, I have memories from being that age in my mind that I still go back too to this very day. I love seeing the person she is becoming. My nephew turns one in December how crazy is that!! I saw him today and he smiled the minute he saw me and that made my heart melt! I just love this time of year.

 I hope you all enjoy bonfire night on Wednesday, please write your names in the air with the sparklers :) 

 Much love
Beth xx

My letter to MND

22. Dear you, I want to start off by saying I don't like you. From the day we have met all you have done is cause pain, you have caused misery! That is all you do for everyone you meet. You find them at their best and demolish their whole being. You break them down to the point where there is no fight left, but they will fight you until the very end knowing they will never win. One day they will win, one day we will all break YOU down so you're not here any more. None of us like you, but you bring us all closer together. You make us realise that we can't go on just floating by, you make us realise that time is the most precious thing any one in the world has got! And with that precious time we have to make as many wonderful memories possible, we have to tackle all the hurdles you throw at us so that you know we will stick together and fight you. I have the displeasure of knowing you, so many others have the displeasure of living  with you. For those I can't i...

Arsenal, Tears and Happiness!

26. We meet again my loves, how ya diddling? I'm good, I have two weeks off work now :D nothing major is planned...oh wait HARRY POTTER STUDIOS and bonfire night, I love bonfire night, the magic of the fireworks and sparklers is just so beautiful. I will definitely try and get some pictures of the fireworks and sparklers of the bonfire I'm planning on going too.  Is it just in the UK we celebrate bonfire night?  I'm currently listening Marmozets - Captivate You, I've heard this band quite a lot on Kerrang radio and just love this song, it gets me bouncing around in my seat. I downloaded their album and it's pretty belting I have to say! It was on repeat everyday this past week on the bus, a definite boost before work.  I don't know if I told you guys that my Dads best friend, Steve, contacted Arsenal (my Dad is obsessed) and explained his situation and how much he loves the team and always has done, and they wrote him back to say they would send Dad...

End of an era

 10 years...10 long but very fast years!! Okay, I admit, I'm late to the 10 year blog anniversary, like 7 months late haha but I've been busy. I can't quite believe I started writing on here over 10 years ago. About my Dad, who has now been gone 10 years as of only a few days ago! Which is mental. This pocket of space helped me a lot back then, and it continued to help a little while after but it's definitely time for me to say goodbye to this space now. It served me well back then, but like we all do, I've grown and found other things now that suit me better. You see, I couldn't express in real life how I felt back then, what I was dealing with watching my Dad with MND. So this was my voice. Then I realised oh wow I can say a lot of things here that I can't express due to fear or embarrassment and general learning things about myself etc. Who knew writing a few words on a few posts could help heal so many broken pieces. I'll always be pretty grateful fo...
