A little city tour

-
I'm travelling again, with mother. I seem to always have to go somewhere with her every single often.  A few months ago we were in Poland,  which was beautiful and now, this month we are in Iowa, USA.
This post isn't going to have as much writing. U want to share my photos of Des Moines. I spent a week searching to buy a canon 5D,  but had to put that off cos those thing a bloody expensive. So here's what I've captured with my blackberry q5.

We visited The Art Centre- the building looked like a mini Getty Centre.


Then stopped off at Salisbury House which was built from material shipped over from England. 





We saw the Governor's house on Terrence Hill. 
Paid a visit to the Grand Capitol hall and walked along the dam by the Women of Achievement bridge.

Barbados - Unfinished 2018

Barbados _What do you think of when you hear that? Most I guess will think honeymoon destination, luxury holiday, paradicse. I do too and that's why I booked it. I am not getting married and I certainly haven't booked an all inclusive resort. I wanted to, but boy oh boy, do they cost a lot and when you are travelling solo, one can't fathom spening that type of money when you are not sharing the expreience with anyone. Yes, I am going on my own. Gernerally I am fine about doing things on my own, right now though I'm feeling a little sad and unsure I want to go. (PMS) I booked this holiday using some of my airmiles I accumilated for travelling with Virgin Atlantic and also having a Virgin credit card. I thought to myself, why not go somewhere you would instantly think of to go, I also thought why not choose some honeymoon destination, most people my age are married and go to places like this. I'm not getting hitched any time soon, that I am aware of, so this is my ...

Its been quite some time since I last wrote anything, but life's been quite uneventful.  Well there was Cannes Film festival last year, which was an experience; though I never found the time to sit down and share that with you.  Never the less, here I am, fingers to keys about to bark on what could be an adventure of a life time. And life changing....we'll soon see.  September I received a reasonable pay check and decided after two and a bit years of saying 'I'm going to go to America' I clicked onto the Virgin airline website and booked my ticket. That now done, it was set in stone that I would no longer be a 'sayer'. Its time to see what the land of opportunity has in store for me. But with two months to go, no excitement was there, what's the point of getting excited for something so far away.  Now with only 7 days to go, I'm feeling something. Nerves, my tummy turns with the thought I'm going away, alone for 4 weeks....that's a whole mont...

Oh what a Night. Hufff!

So the other day it was arranged that Sat night we girls will head out. I wasn’t going to be in London town, but if it was all going ahead, I’ll come back for sure. Fast forward to Saturday afternoon and I'm packing my things for my return to London. Text to see if it was all going ahead, as I didn't want to get an early train if nothing was happening. I got the thumbs up for after 9pm and told that I’d get a call at 6pm. I gathered my bits and made my way to the train for 6:17pm. Couldn’t get through to my friend, but thought I’d better get on the train. Finally got a text that they didn't want to head out late and they might head to their local, which is nowhere local to me. Slightly fuming inside as I could have stayed where I was, but due to many events in my life, I geared myself up for this night out so felt let down. But hey! Let’s not show it. I got back to my empty flat, got my pear cider out and was grooving to Radio 1's Trevor Nelson show. I was having t...
