Web+Log=Blog=Nexus

For me, blogging means nexus=connection. I think it's the word
most fitted for use in describing blogging.
                                        
Why do I blog? I was thinking about this the other day and the big one motivation that came to my mind is "Sharing".I've always enjoyed sharing the things that are really special
to me.
My goal is to make people have a good time reading my blog. I don't set myself unrealistic targets.
I cannot imagine me being able to blog on a daily basis because I know I'll get frustrated, bored and trapped in spending numerous hours in front of my computer.
People say I write straight form my heart. My posts are always spontaneous and I don't want to be "forced" to or feel I "ought" to.
So sharing...
the awesomeness,
the cuteness,
the love,
the passion,
the daily life,
the old,
the new,
the wonders of Mother Nature,
some beautiful, fluffy clouds,
and lovely sunsets,
some magical moments,
and fairy tales,
                                 
some noisy feathers,
a bad mood,
and a silly, happy mood.
                                                         
I have to admit that sometimes I'm a bit chaotic. It's pretty easy for time to slip away without getting much done. Then I realise that my personal life has taken a hit and, alas, some of my interests have been affected. 

But it's been a rich reward to be a blogger. Thanks to blogging, I've met some amazing people over the years. It's funny how you read about someone's life and you feel as if you know them on a personal level!

Two whole years have now passed since I set up this Cut and Dry blog. And what an incredible ride it has been! The whole world of blogging has turned out to be far more rewarding, both professionally and personally, than I ever imagined.   

Why do you blog, friends? I'd love to hear. xx                                                              

Barbican Love


I hate it when my mind won't shut up when I'm trying to sleep. But there are times I love lying down at night thinking about those moments you just want to re-live. 

How about you? Do you feel this way sometimes?

Here are a few highlights of my favourite pictures from my last
trip to Plymouth Barbican, Devon, England, if you'd like to see. 
Barbican is the name now given to the western and northern
sides of the old harbour area of Plymouth, Devon, England.
It is such a spectacular area, preserving the medieval street layouts and many of the Tudor Dwellings.

I fell in love not just with the town, but with Plymouth people as well; they are unbelievably polite and inspiring in the way they live their lives.
The sky is grey, there's a chill in the air, the fresh, salty scent of the sea...is all around; and the songs of the seagulls fill my ears.

Here's a beautiful song. Jonathan Livingston Seagull-Sky Bird
by Neil Diamond...I found this video to be quite peaceful and
inspiring. I feel refreshed just watching it. xx
