Whatever people do, feel, think or say, don't take it personally. Others are going to have their own opinion according to their belif system, so whatever they think about you is not about you, but it is about them. Don Miguel Ruiz
Just realised I forgot to post week 18 picture – so here it is.
Being really busy and not having internet always – it is harder at the moment.
So please bear with me and I do try to visit you all in between.

Joy is a pure state of bliss, and it's attained by bringing comfort and relief to other people. Doing so will bring joy to your life everyday. Sylvia Browne
We have discovered this fireplace as you know.
I have cleaned it up and painted it black. I’m very happy with it as I also found a grill fitting the fireplace, which I also painted black.
It looks lovely with a plant or flowers in front.
My question is:
What colour shall I paint the surrounding?
At the moment it is yellowish; white is too white really I think;
What do you think???? Please put your suggestion in the comments.
I appreciate your help.
In the loft I found 40 year old records of my apprenticeship journals.
I learnt the Hotel Business.
I learnt all aspects like reception, kitchen, serving, bar, clean rooms and running a hotel.
We had to write weekly reports, had them signed by the mentor and by the big boss.
It was fun to read them all again.
Life has changed in this electronic age…..look at that 🙂
There were no computers back then.
The Hotel journal was written by hand with a carbon paper and added up in the evening.
All reservations were taken by post or telephone and recorded on a chart.
It is funny to think this life without computers.
I really enjoyed my time in the Hotel with wonderful guests and colleagues.
Sweet memories ♥♥♥
Did you enjoy your learning journey way back?
An outing to wild Wakehurst – a sibling of Kew Gardens in Sussex.
Lots of woodlands, walks and great colours from Rhododendrons and Azaleas.
Sending everyone much love. You mean so much to me. ❤️

Cleaning the chimney, I had lost the brush ….. see this post
Bought a new one,
Swept the chimney again and it came out
Hurray.
So happy, so we can light the fire safely again.
Have a wonderful day with your own surprises!
