These were the first hurried words I recall asking the nurses as I came round from the General Anaesthetic last week. I was desperate to know if it was in fact Endo wreaking havoc in my insides. Then the pain hit me. My insides were burning. I reached for my swollen tummy and writhed around pleading for pain relief. My whole body was shaking, teeth…
A little over a month ago I had to leave work early. I was doubled over in pain at my desk. I made it to a meeting room without raising any eyebrows and phoned 111 with my symptoms and got told to go to the docs in the next few hours. The pain was in my left groin and shot like lightening up into…
After just shy of a week exploring Venice followed by Rovinj (Croatia), husband and I set about the last leg of our 2014 summer holiday adventure. And this leg was spectacular.

I follow a fair few world travel accounts and on one non-eventful and probably overcast English day over a year ago, the photo of a beautiful beach popped onto my feed…
To celebrate our first wedding anniversary, my husband and I decided upon a weeks trip to Croatia. We have been asked many times as to why we chose this destination and in all honesty, it’s not that clear.
