Ultimate Blog Challenge - Day 1 (July 1st 2023)
First of all, I'd like to say hello to my current readers, I hope you're enjoying reading the blog so far.
Secondly, I'd like to say hello to my fellow bloggers on this Ultimate Blog Challenge. Good luck to you all!
For those of you who don't know, this is a challenge to post on your blog every day for the whole month, starting today, July 1st and finishing on July 31st.
I've been somewhat remiss in getting started with my blogging here, and I hope that letting everyone know I've accepted this challenge will keep me accountable for the whole month.
If I miss a day, feel free to give me kick and get me back on track!
So, a little bit about me.
I'm a Grandmother to six wonderful children, three girls and three boys. That count goes up to eight in November, as two of my daughters are pregnant. I spend as much time with them as I can, but not nearly enough.
I'm 'Mumsie' to four grown-up children, who make me proud. They have all spent much of their working lives caring for others.
Until the pandemic hit, I was working with Adults with Autism and other learning difficulties and, before that, with children who had behavioural difficulties (probably the most demanding job I've ever had). Now at almost 61, I'm finding myself unable to secure work, so I'm putting a whole new set of skills to use.
This blog is about the things I love - Nature, Photography, Crafting, Gardening and Health. I don't intend to write about things I hate - there's probably enough written in that vein. Never say never though, I may just lose my cool sometime.
I hope you'll join me for the next 31 days and join in the conversation.
All the best,
Janice.
