Dartmouth Regatta 2018

Dartmouth regatta 2018 kicked off with the usual rowing events, as usual i made my way down for the 14th year.

Not much to blog this year!

I sat enjoying the music and dancing by the bandstand, watched a few rowing events and enjoyed the food (oven baked jacket spuds really yummy along with the fresh doughnuts)

The fairground was quiter then usual i noticed,

The skydancer was amazing on saturday evening, his acrobatics lit up over the river dart was lovely to watch  has was the fireworks display.

I finished off in The Dolphin pub for a pint or two, and danced my evening away till closing.

 

was a nice but quiet Dartmouth Regatta 2018 this year, but still enjoyed.

Been a long summer 2018 ….

Summer 2018 looks like it’s coming to an end with the lovely summer weather we been having , it certainly been a nice summer this year!

 

The Summer started in Dartmouth with the yearly music festival which had music for all tastes and walks of life, I bumped into my older daughter with a few of her friends, we had the usual music festival fun, we been having since the girls been babies, had coffee in the new costa coffee shop  that opened this year in dartmouth.

Tbh it was nice  to be out after 2100 I said to her now I’m 40/41 !

😄

G.c.s.e results that time of year again, good luck to all ,

(me summer 2018)

I’ve also been sitting sorting out my garden which turned into those nice summer evenings of lighting the firepit and cooking food  with a few cans ,

I got to admit it is nice to light the firepit and not have to worry that if I leave it to go the loo that one my kids be playing with it,

 

Also nice to have food outside so that the house wasn’t like a sauna to sleep in !

And the squirrel came in to venture

He’s one of those squirrels that likes to drop nuts in my coffee whilst I’m sat reading a book or chatting online !

Kingswear and Totnes music  festival 2018 was lovely to listen to whilst having a pint , and waiting for relatives who I been visiting throughout the summer,

Spent a few hours with my daughter sat over kingswear watching the steam train , eating ice cream just like she loved since she been aged 4, laughing and giggling about funny childhood memories she has my other two got of Dartmouth.

(I mean who can forget that summer when little miss , my youngest kicked off her shoe straight into the river dart, and the guy working at the station restaurant fished it out of there for her)

😂

The station restaurant is since summer 2018 called a new name,

 

It was nice to sit remembering the times back to 1997 ,  laughing and giggling  on torbay harbour 20 years later a few cans at silly o’clock in the morning, was nice to catch up

Getting the train to Torquay

And

Remembering the time …… Back to when I was 20

Also been visiting some historic places of interest , of which I’ll blog at some point later

(me summer 2018)

Gunnislake

I decided to spend a weekend at gunnislake, a short train journey from plymouth (i started at paignton, got off at newton abbot for plymouth, then plymouth to gunnislake, took about 2 hours maybe 2 and half hours ) A lovely train journey

The stay in Drakewalls B&B i can recommend to anyone, a friendly , cosy B&B , a short walk of 5 mins maybe 10 mins from gunnislake train statioyn, has very cosy rooms and a cottage kinda feel to it, the mini market is 5 mins away. The breakfast is very nice not to much and not to little. Enough to keep your tummy going till tea

Dave’s chip stop a lovely little fish and chip shop i can recomnend the battered sausage , chips are lovely not greasy abd not to dry,

My first day at Gunnislake i went for a walk to the donkey park at Tamar valley , about 20 minutes and a lovely walk that connects one village to the next i thought was quite funny, how 10 mins later i came out the same place has i started but yet had walked through a village or two,

I couldnt stop giggling at this statue , its got to be the funniest iv’e ever seen of history, the mining pitman statue go’s back to 19th century and the Tamar valley mining industry, in 1930 arsenic was still being produced at Greenhill, in Gunnislake, an amazing little village,

Tamar valley donkey park- not a bad admission price, £10 just short of for an adult , i think a family of 4 it was £20-25 seemed abit silly me, myself and i paying £10 just to stroke a donkey hehehe, so i took a video of the Tamar donkeys in the field instead.

I walked then towards Liskeard and came across a village calledSt Annes Chapel about half an hour to 45 mins a lovely valley with amazing views

The warm spring day had me stopping off that evening at a lovely pub called The vollenteers arms, a very nice pint and a !ovely evening

A short walk of about 20 mins depending on how fast you walk in the lovely summer evening breeze back to Drakewalls and a lovely coffee before settling down for the night

The next day i walked the other way into Gunnislake village, a beautiful Tamar river runs through where i walked down the riverside ,stopped to read my book for an hour or two and enjoyed the sun, and beautiful scenery before stopping off on the way back in the friendly Gunnislake pub for a nice cool pint.

Couldnt of picked a better weekend in spring to go

Happy new year…. 2018!

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2018

As always some awesome graphics across cybersky that geez so many you dont know which pretty one next to save and send to some post on facebook . I couldnt go around the interweb for the 15 or is it 16th new year now geez guys we been together so long rofl. fast enough collecting and sending….. yes yes most of you are probably sat wondering so err why are you not out on new years eve …….most are!

and i got to admit before i had my kids over 14 years ago i was out celebrating the New Year…..

So yes why not now?

Well for those wondering maybe its time now im not a mum anymore (finished up tucking 3 kids into bed in the evenings so that i carnt go out) This is the first New year its not been spent with my family in 15 years. and suddenly this year whilst sat as usual for the 15th or is it 16th New year (i lost count now) posting the awesome Happy New Years graphics across many a social media and messenger (which i seem to of gotten used to doing whilst wasting away my youth from 25 to 40 of which i am today and bringing up 3 kids)

(see blog below if you missed last years cahos, good thing im not child orientated)-

https://worldofsorts.wordpress.com/2017/03/03/awesome-time-in-wales/

So lastnight being new years eve i sits down and thinks right where is there to go out in this village called Dartmouth? With its lovely scenic views , great food menus and ……

well there’s local pubs (no nightclubs) the few pubs are lovely nice cosy enviroment but in the past it has been known to keep bumping into peeps that are friendly with exes (as im not even anbd never have been on speaking terms with the twat dad to my kids in over 14/15 years now thats not a good idea) The next generation of his family isnt my idea of Happy New year! ……After all they are not my family and nothing to do with me, so why should it bother me?

The taxis around here are one way £15 and £30 return now i could get public transport do they run new years eve? if they do they stop one way at 1855 and the other way i think 2300 …..

The other way is £30 one way and £30 return in taxi (double i think new years eve) ! so what exactlly is this village? A village where most tenents are tucked up in bed before 2300 errm seems like it or 1955 the other way, kingsbridge last public service is 1900 to dartmouth ;…., where most of the village have been cut off from socialization, (clubs) and just left bringing up school children till love has passed them by. and then they 45…… (all those with children born before 2004 that is) So that just leaves the question what was this village being used for? …haaa maybe their secret fathers4justice legue for any innocent tenent on the housing that moves into the village before 2005/2006 (see various news articles on this between 2002 and 2006, and then strugggles to get out of here either that or its being used to convert single parents into dartmouth nuns lol as they walking out the school gates of 15-20 years. and then chuck them back into the uk where’s there is no guy left to have a relationship with (isnt that illegal done through legal)?

To say before i personally moved here i was in relationships one of 4 years not forced from leaving school gates and one in devon was……so im sat wondering just what have the council allowed to be built here? and the goverment have been given another £26,000 to build more in 2017 errrm, wouldnt be in isolated countryside would it? – where they house people inappropriate for their reality life, because lets face it back in 2003 it was pick up keys or you may not be given the chance for 8-10 years again!

The only other way to do it would be to book a B&B /hotel for over the new year festive period and already be there and have somewhere booked already to callopse once new years eve celebrations are over.

I spent christmas at my mums so i could of gone out christmas eve , but had a lovely christmnas day dinner to look forward to where some other relatives came over but spent it having christmas day drinks because i can now im not a mum (and regretting it after because i forgot tequilla is not good mixed with baileys) with my mum to end 2017 but had i not and spent it in dartmouth the same would apply has new years eve. last new years eve 2016/ 2017 i spent it over Dartmoor with my mum.

Expensive new years eve evening out just to mix and mingle with society and have a few drinks dont you think….

Yes the dartmouth society of err what? whilst most are grateful for a roof over their heads since 1997 (20 years now and 1 day) good thing i left school in 1992 educated (so my cv proves) and had landlords property and mortgage before 1997 in a 4 year from the age of 16-20 relationship with a guy 19-23 (who could drive and was working class)! when i moved to Devon in july 1997, landords cert in devon untill 2001 (ill do 20 years of living in devon some other time ) and who can forget the protests of 1995 that hit BBC news, why? was their question back there…..is it starting to be answered by many a tenent in isolated village propertys yet?

I suddenly realized last night …….errm well in all honesty people who over 14 years i lived here watched me bring 3 children up, never seen in the pub unless it been out of dartmouth, with my 3 kids and/or my family! Some have already questioned over the past 10 -12 years i been chatting over messenger or social media in general well where are your family to babysit maybe twice or three times a year? ……so if they dont live 350 miles away and live local local than why are they not?

Questions that will no doubt need answering at some point in reality and not virtual reality being cybersky in the future! …….Someone must of thought over 14 years since i been 25 i was sacraficing my life for 3 children i was bringing up……. errm im not religious!

And it seems after 16 years nearly of tuckng in 3 kids the cover up was just to keep hundreds and hundreds of single parents single forver for some ugly twat that the kids across the uk can add at 16 on facebook online like its some ugly bug facebook dads party they just started in 2017, (every single womens dream if proving abuse in the 90’s just came alive)! …….thanks for that facebook happy new year to you lol! (First historical sex case to start 2018 off awesomnly already on bbc news)! btw dont name your kids in his surname from birth after 18 years your ex from way way back so far back he’s like a ghost thinks he’s done all 18 years because trhe kids you brought up are in his surname ….carnt warn you more now that we know and i know after 16 years or more !

Meanwhile just so you know actually this is real my own brother lives with his partner here in devon has a load of kids im auntie to (is that by name lol?) ohhh because his kids even though he lived with her for about 16 years now are not in his name ……which is kinda funny this should be brought up now …….. WhooHooo anyone awake out there?!!

The other question about New year in dartmouth is awesome fireworks btw…well we heard them anyway but tbh i spent it sat on cybersky thinking for the first time (now im not a mum and this is the first new year spent at home) the lack of amineities this town has if you dont drive (so why house non drivers here)? ……. its an isolated village! can people move out now they finished bringing up a school child (even though social services have already written many many years ago for myself to the local council back in 2011/2012 when i was early 30;s, tbh i soon realized it took me 6 weeks-12 weeks to accept and for it all to go through when i first moved to dartmouth in 2003, a year later and i was still pointlessly sat on exchange list, when i heard another parent had been for 2-3 years already by 2013)!

they stopped having no choice but to meet strangers of cybersky whilst bringing up a school child and go back to life before we moved here, dancing on dancefloors, going out down the pubs, laughing and giggling …..ohhh geez theres no guys left to meet in reality once you reach over 42 so the point of dancing is what for is the 2018 question?

So the question has to be how illegal or legal has all this been since i been 25 and moved into my dartmouth tenency.

The growing list since the age if 25-

2004 -Go and have prem baby scans, give birth to prem baby and huh they missed cancerous cells? …..all cleared up by 2005

2009- Go to have a filling done , ends up in Plymouth A&E …..accidents happen,……

2013- how chuffing long a waiting list for a filling to be sorted? 3 years and oh awesome 2013 an appointment comes through for torbay hospital, did an amazing job on taking all top teeth out , strange it started off with a filling in 2009! A filling i didnt need 7 months previously! (Didnt need any fillings in torquay 6-9 months previously on a check up (thanks to the local play group supporter who took me on that dentist visit to torquay)

Strange thing is i dont have cancer, lukemia, no illness or virus like that ! And neither am i dieing of anything, (if that changes then ill blog it and let the world know lol)

Ohhh it gets better has now the question of why since the age of 25 have i not given birth to anymore children yet has a judge found out in 2017 im not on birth control since i been 16 and protection? What for is your son some pimping dick since i been 16, 20,25,30? 40?…….the fuking unclean of society?

So glad my medical notes have been in a courtroom 3 times throughout my motherhood aged 25 and now im 40 strange (41 in 2018) its the same medical damages has my mum and dad back in 1985 being my mums c-section aged 24 ……and my dads smile damaged by 1989! …..now i was told has a child it was a fight down the NAFFI one friday night ! (new years eve party maybe? anyways the point is in 1989 he was 35 ohh what a coincidence in 2009 i be 31 by 2013 i be oh 35 the same age! ……. Yeah im that soldiers kid! (Great album cover is taylor swift’s 1989) btw good thing my medical its all been in front of many judges now great start to the new year (hope yours was better)!…. And thats 2017 dobe it what can only be described has dartmouth open air prison for all the wrongly housed tenents living here, …..over the ither hill is dartmoor prison of historical (not hysterical) uk devon history !…….. From the straight and not bisexual

So errm who is paying for the damages? Back to the start ……!

good start to 2018 im going to be having this side of computer in reality and not virtual reality……

Lots to be getting on with i have to start 2018, like who is paying for this isolated pods they built 20 years ago and the damage to peoples lives ? where life is errrm where in Dartmouth once you finished bringing up school kids?

I spent it watching a movie and chatted online lol, geez before kids i would of been out socializing back in the 90’s and clubbing! 20 year history of finding what whilst living in dartmouth? false love and thought the tenents would like some adult company aged 43 rofl! …. I dont think so, not from what i witnessed adult company isnt love since we been 25 …… where their tenancy turns into swing-us-ya -dick around each singles property from any dating site online opps,……. happy new year 2018

Hope you had an awesome new years and all the best for 2018 ……..

Something to start new year 2018 off with a crackers

standing in the queue and all of a sudden some guy about 45 starts talking , i thought at first he was talking to me then realized huh? whos he talking to? i looks at the other women and then looks the otherside of me at the older geezer stood next to me and thought no hes not talking to them……

He;s stood there talking to his fish and chips he was eating!……. Says it all really! ….Anybody want him in reality?

MP Jo coxs death….

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-42708507

Oh is that the next generation grown up whilst we go through this above cahos…… Is it at this point what someone thought they had sorted out the cahos logged with police when we was 20-25 they now at 40-45 find out actually it never was sorted out ……! Wow have they finished covering up for their devon school gate leavers of 1995-2002 yet ? …….as seen in 2014 on bbc news a yorkshire police man says it to the world clear as that on the death of a womens sister!

Iv’e already sent it to police and the local councils …at least theres something good come out of it can come and go out own front door whenever at whatever time and dont have anyone to nagg at where you are , only i dont think any of us wanted someone actually moving in. Saves the domestic violence calls where police wont get involved since the 90;s now dont it!

and then someone thought we was broken ? huh? rofl…..

Strange conversation i had with a single dad who i known since 1997 as that a single dad aged today in his early 50;s in devon so 4 years before i gave birth strange that he should finish up being a single paremt of his one child and he says oh i got to go for a blood transfussion (he’s on his 3rd one) huh? i says to him you just finished bneing a single dad, he was chatting about his kid now all grown up, got a girlfriend, …….a year later and wtf he gets a job and then gets told he’s got about a year to live…….huh? his first grankid is being born!

Devon lights at christmas 2017…..

Oh wow first time in 14 years i have been out in the evenings at 40 years old to see chrustmas lights since i moved to Dartmouth from Torbay in 2003 when i finally got the message through to the twat ex im not in love with him, never cared about him since hes bern 17 since 1998 and never had to call the police again since 2003, phew finally ) where in torbay i once spent the evenings going out in the evenings , going to clubs and dancing on dance floors,

Child-hood Crimbo memories in Doncaster, South Yorkshire

I booked into a lovely hotel after a long 5 hours train journey, had a more comfotable bed than mine at home lol, The red lion hotel has bar meals, although i wasnt hungry so dont know myself how nice they looked, by the menu they looked very nice, Doncaster has changed quite alot since 2006 , when i was there for 2 weeks wuth my 3 daughrers now all grown up, and no snow this time around in december 2017, unlike 2006 the old south bus station is a new bus station , the train station links straight into the frenchgate center , the fountain that was in the frenchgate center that was many a childhood memory spent has now gone ! But the childhood memorys stay

, (The christmas snowman from 2006 which stood ontop of the water fountain in the frenchgate center which is now not there) On my first day there i walked around all the places has a child i went to with parents and my three brothers , the waterdale hasnt changed much

apart from this Awesome statue the coffee is just like when i was a. child and mum and dad would let me and my brothers drink what they didnt want, The frenchgate center us has always as magical has those childhood memory i keep close at heart

https://worldofsorts.files.wordpress.com/2017/12/vid_20171204_174850.3gp

on the second day i spent in my hometown i walked around the frenchgate,

had the best iced coffee geez i missed this

visited a few buildings stopped off at costa and had fish and chips at rothewells , can recommend to anyone looking for a really nice chip shop , i took my battered sausage and chips back to the hotel and ate there, watched a movie and fell asleep , My last day was spent walking around Doncaster Market past Earl Hotel (which is not in the middle of doncaster town center but a short walk)

and Doncaster Art Museum , can recommend , i loved visiting all the old memories , especially where we grew up,

loved the year on the gates made me smile of nemories ,

 

 

i soent the evening with a nice glass or two of some of this

I had to get up early checkout in the red lion hotel is by card scanner so security a priority , which is awesome , I had a lovely time in Doncaster , had a laugh and a giggle with few people and went off to bed

Thank you to The Red Lion hotel , their friendly and helpful bar staff , Happy christmas and and all the best for 2018 (The cover photo is Doncaster St Ledger Racecourse, memories of Red Rum , York/Doncaster racecourse)!

 

Summer 2017

Been and gone sorry …..if you missed it they be another one just around the corner next year

Some wax things I been doing for a new something to do project 2017……

Along with doing some stuff I go do for over a year now offline , have some funny moments in reality as I continue to do online (need to find some more projects to do now autumn and soon winter will be here) the boredom regime is around and about AGAIN! Must be because the season is over for summer here in Dartmouth coffee project is done and dusted for another summer …..still can’t make up my mind not even after 14 years and now Costa coffee shop has appeared this summer 2017 , Awesome!

The vanilla latte Mmmmm recommend

Done lots of discovering those !In some of dangerous places around Dartmouth that you wouldn’t take your !use incase there is an accident, always wondered what was beyond that first set of steps …..it’s another beach if you can walk up the next flight of steps and down the next, has most who have been here will know Dartmouth is not a flat part of the UK it’s mostly hills and in the top us where we live …..yeah ontop of the hill

Which has some loverly views so long has you don’t get too bored with them so there’s always someone that comes along to bring g a giggle to that sometimes boredom usually it’s written on a boat ….. And the memories and laughs once had come flooding back and it don’t make it so much of the same scenery different summer effect , more noticeable when you haven’t got kids to take your mind of it (and i certainly didn’t stay single for the dad of my kids either, and has my girls where born before the contact dad law change of 2004 of which my premium baby was born by C-section , im glad of meeting guys from the net for past over 13 years orelse I be dead in my bed by now lol ) so anyway those places had to wait which now I have lived here 14 years since in my early 20’s the more I have noticed now I’m 40.

Flowers in my garden still growing so those bulbs planted are ones that come back every year awesome has they really nice pretty flowers

Ps- I 💖 party in The USA ……and Another part of me

The food festival 2017 in Dartmouth this past weekend i decided has it was a nice morning to go down for abit for the 14th year i lived in Dartmouth last autumn was full of life and had some awesome bits and bobs called fresh food , smelled lovely even from a distance it did weather was nice for autumn, and full of the hustles and bustles of life.
