It's St Pirans day today. So here's a Cornish sunset for your eyes. I can't wait to be back in my happy place later this year 🖤🤍🖤🤍🖤🤍🖤🤍🖤🤍🖤🤍🏴☠️ P.s. if you're planning on going on holiday in the UK or the country you live in, it's a holiday. Not a staycation. And yes, this IS a hill I'm willing to die on. . . . . . . . . #kernow #stpiransday #mylor #myloryachtharbour #travelbloggers #wanderlusttribe #athomeintheworld #travelporn #travelwithme #travellove #ladiesgoneglobal #howfarfromhome #thetravelwoman #travelogue #dametraveler #traveldiaries #travelgram #welltravelled #neverstopexploring #wanderlust #travelblog #exploringtheworld #ohgoshtravels#sunset #boats #cornwall #falmouth 
I'm often asked about what the side effects are of my cancer and my treatment, so, let's talk about what cancer does to your physical stamina...... I mentioned the other day that getting up to the top of bleaklow to see the overexposed wreck was a challenge for me. But it shouldn't have been. Not really. It was no further, or no higher than things I was accomplishing 6 months ago with relative ease! But there I was, after a climb up over moorland, needing to rest for 5 minutes. Feeling light headed and out of breath. And when I got home, I had to rest for an age, my knees seizing up whilst I did so. And it's not like I'm doing less so I'm out of condition or whatever. I'm still working, still walking the dogs most days, still cycling under my desk, still trying to carry on like normal. It's just that I've noticed "Normal" tires me out faster. I need more rest. More stops in my day. More down time. It's so frustrating to feel your abilities change before you. I worry about what I'll be like next time we're on a city break, or holiday. About committing to too much. I'm jealous of people posting about their accomplishments. I'm mad at people who could do things but play computer games instead! But I'm thankful for the fact I CAN still get out, that I'm able to do so with people who are patient when I need to rest, and that I've got 2 fur faces who don't care if we're on an epic adventure or a ball chasing trip to the park. . . ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀ . . . . . .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #IAmThe31 #secondarybreastcancer #metupuk #metup #metastaticbreastcancer #dyingforacure #womenwithcancer #stageivneedsmore #secondarysisters #cancerrightnow #fuckcancer #emmaVcancer #breastcancerawareness #busylivingwithmets #breastcancernow #metastaticcancer #peakdistrict #ig_peakdistrict #thepeakdistrict #thewildnesstonic #uniquedistrict #yorkshirephotographers #yorkshire #myhappyviews #whimsicalwonderfulwild #awakethelight #itsprimupnorth #quietinthewild #explore_britain #uk_greatshots 
Are #WaterfallWednesdays a thing? I mean, technically I think this was just an overflowing torrent of water but...... 
Will pose for treats. (And also if you tell him how incredibly good looking he is!) He's currently asleep in my arms, making me do some awkward one handed typing. But that's better than when he insists on falling asleep on me at my desk. Because one handed phone typing is way easier than one handed keyboarding 😬 .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #peakdistrict #ig_peakdistrict #thepeakdistrict #thewildnesstonic #uniquedistrict #yorkshirephotographers #yorkshire #myhappyviews #whimsicalwonderfulwild #awakethelight #itsprimupnorth #quietinthewild #explore_britain #uk_greatshots #aseasonalyear #lessismoor #welivetoexplore #optoutside #sheffield #onehouroutside #keepitwild #pugcross #jrtxpug #pugstagram #flashpuppy #discoverunder5k #dogsofsheffield 
On Thursday @fizzy.b and I went on a "hike" to find a plane crash site up in the Peak District. It was a good 2.5hr round walk up the Pennine way from the snake pass. I won't lie and say it was easy for me all the way - I've really noticed a decline in my ability and stamina these last few months - but we made it, and it was totally worth a moment or two of breathlessness. In November 1948, A B-29 Superfortress crashed in the Peak District near Bleaklow. The United States Airforce Boeing RB-29A was part of the 16th Photographic Reconnaissance Squadron. The aircraft crashed near Higher Shelf Stones on Bleaklow during a routine daytime flight to the US Airforce Base in Warrington. It’s believed that the pilots thought they had passed the hills of Bleaklow, but due to low cloud cover their visibilty was obscured and the aircraft hit the ground a little over 2,000 feet above sea level. All 13 crew members were killed on impact. 70 years later, part of the wreckage is still visible for people to visit. And it's incredibly moving when you're there. Especially on a quiet day like the one we found! . . . . . . . .⠀ #peakdistrict #ig_peakdistrict #thepeakdistrict #thewildnesstonic #uniquedistrict #yorkshirephotographers #yorkshire #myhappyviews #itsprimupnorth #embracingtheseasons #quietinthewild #beautyinsimplicity #slowlived #explore_britain #uk_greatshots #aseasonalyear #lessismoor #gowildlyandslow #welivetoexplore #optoutside #sheffield #onehouroutside #keepitwild #adventurewomen #womenwhohike #wreckage #overexposed #crashsite 📸: @fizzy.b 
I'm off for another (close to home) adventure* with @fizzy.b today. We're off to find a WW2 plane crash site, take some photos and hopefully to wear my crazy little dogs out! Camera, drone, snacks at the ready! *Only this time we'll be missing the snow! . . . . . . . .⠀ #peakdistrict #ig_peakdistrict #thepeakdistrict #thewildnesstonic #uniquedistrict #yorkshirephotographers #yorkshire #myhappyviews #whimsicalwonderfulwild #awakethelight #itsprimupnorth #embracingtheseasons #quietinthewild #beautyinsimplicity #slowlived #explore_britain #uk_greatshots #aseasonalyear #lessismoor #gowildlyandslow #welivetoexplore #optoutside #sheffield #reflection #onehouroutside #keepitwild #adventurewomen #womenwhohike #sheffield 📸: @fizzy.b 
Plughole! Another top down shot from the drone. It's not only been a learning curve to fly the little beast, but then I had to figure out editing the bracketed images too. I have to say it's fun to be learning something new though. What's the best new skill you've learnt lately? . . . . . . . .⠀ #peakdistrict #ig_peakdistrict #thepeakdistrict #uniquedistrict #yorkshirephotographers #yorkshire #explore_britain #uk_greatshots #gowildlyandslow #welivetoexplore #optoutside #sheffield #onehouroutside #keepitwild #adventurewomen #womenwhohike #droneofficial #fromwhereidrone #iamdji #droneoftheday #dronestagram #droneshot #topdronephotos #topdowndroneshots #topdowntuesday #mavicmini #mavicmini2 
Wishing I was going to be staring at this scene today, rather than my work computer screen! Had a quiet post treatment weekend, smashing through the anti sickness and coming to terms with the last week. It didn't start well - what with me being blocked and bitched about by someone in the cancer community. (Which led me to question the "community" aspect of cancergram completely.) Then there was treatment (kadcyla) which is still knocking me for 6 a bit, and making me feel like a complete wimp as all I'm told is most people do really well on it. And the death of the incomparable @drbexl. A death with has me reeling, and will for some time. It's not easy to get over the death of people you admired, liked, turned to for support and laughter. Losing friends at such a rate is not something I'd wish on anyone, but this death reminded me of some of the beautiful people I've met, because we're all dying of this disease. Next up, my Nannans funeral. And a killer migraine finished off my fun. All I can say is this week WILL BE BETTER. But it'd be a thousand times better if I had this view, not spreadsheets and teams! . . ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀ . . . . . .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #IAmThe31 #secondarybreastcancer #metupuk #metup #metastaticbreastcancer #dyingforacure #womenwithcancer #stageivneedsmore #secondarysisters #cancerrightnow #fuckcancer #emmaVcancer #breastcancerawareness #busylivingwithmets #breastcancernow #metastaticcancer #peakdistrict #ig_peakdistrict #thepeakdistrict #thewildnesstonic #uniquedistrict #yorkshirephotographers #yorkshire #myhappyviews #whimsicalwonderfulwild #awakethelight #itsprimupnorth #quietinthewild #explore_britain #uk_greatshots 
This morning we said our final goodbyes to my Nannan. It was a small, quiet ceremony - which was nothing like the woman it was for. She could never have been described as either! When my mum was clearing out her house she asked if there was anything I wanted, but my Nannan wasn't one for 'things'. She did however love flowers. I took her them everytime I visited. And so I asked for her favourite vase. Which it turns out is an anniversary gift my dad brought from from Czechoslovakia* for her and my granddad (*before it was the Republic!) So it seemed only fitting these beautiful flowers @mrsgaffer sent me should live in said vase! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #risingtidesociety #thatsdarling #darlingmovement #flashesofdelight #calledtobecreative #colorventures #abmlifeiscolorful #thehappynow #pursuepretty #littlestoriesofmylife #nothingisordinary #momentslikethese #theartofslowliving #gatherandcurate #thisismycommunity #loveletterto #documentyourdays #in2nature #thefloralseasons #incolourfulcompany #howihue #thesimpleeverday #mystoryoflight 
Treatment Day. You may ask why I'm smiling. Well. You would be too if It you were finally at the top knot stage of your hair growth. It feels like a million years ago - the time before cancer when I could last top knot my hair. It's 4 1/2 years since I had it all cut off to start chemo. And after two lots of chemo in that time. Two stints of cold capping and watching it fall out in clumps. Two lots of wondering if it'd grow back again. Two moments we're you've got a fringe across your entire head - it's finally grown long enough to do stuff with. Like tie up and ignore. I know it's "just hair", and I know I'm not a proper cancer patient because I didn't lose it all due to the cold cap, but I've waited a long time for moments like this! . . ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀ . . . . . .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #IAmThe31 #secondarybreastcancer #metupuk #cancerthriver #metup #metastaticbreastcancer #breasties #walkingmiracles #dyingforacure #womenwithcancer #stageivneedsmore #researchnotribbons #thriver #secondarysisters #cancersucks #cancerrightnow #fuckcancer #emmaVcancer #ybcn #thegramgang #BreastCancerAwareness #standup2cancer #su2c #breastcancerawareness #busylivingwithmets 
It me. But from the sky. I took this on my way home from my covid jab last week. The field was unusually empty. A fresh layer of snow had fallen overnight and the sun was out. Luckily for me, Peter Pan hasn't stolen my shadow or it'd be a bit of a different photo! . . . . . . . .⠀ #peakdistrict #ig_peakdistrict #thepeakdistrict #uniquedistrict #yorkshirephotographers #yorkshire #explore_britain #uk_greatshots #gowildlyandslow #welivetoexplore #optoutside #sheffield #onehouroutside #keepitwild #adventurewomen #womenwhohike #droneofficial #fromwhereidrone #iamdji #droneoftheday #dronestagram #droneshot #topdronephotos #topdowndroneshots #topdowntuesday #mavicmini #mavicmini2 
Another Monday. Another few days of exploring (locally) over. But I definitely made the most of it, and the snow. Which, as it's meant to be a balmy 10 degrees later this week, I'm assuming will have disappeared by the time I can next escape out into the world. My days off this week won't be anywhere near as much fun. They're going to be filled with treatment and my Nannans funeral. How's your week shaping up? Any big plans? Nights out? Holidays to go on? Supermarket shop to look forward to? . . . . . . . .⠀ #peakdistrict #ig_peakdistrict #thepeakdistrict #thewildnesstonic #uniquedistrict #yorkshirephotographers #yorkshire #myhappyviews #whimsicalwonderfulwild #awakethelight #itsprimupnorth #embracingtheseasons #quietinthewild #beautyinsimplicity #slowlived #explore_britain #uk_greatshots #aseasonalyear #lessismoor #gowildlyandslow #welivetoexplore #optoutside #sheffield #reflection #onehouroutside #keepitwild #adventurewomen #womenwhohike #sheffield 
My 3 valentines. I've already had some pretty aggressive snogs from Flash and Melle.......but I think that was more to do with wanting breakfast than anything else! .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #peakdistrict #ig_peakdistrict #thepeakdistrict #thewildnesstonic #uniquedistrict #yorkshirephotographers #yorkshire #myhappyviews #whimsicalwonderfulwild #awakethelight #itsprimupnorth #quietinthewild #explore_britain #uk_greatshots #aseasonalyear #lessismoor #welivetoexplore #optoutside #sheffield #onehouroutside #keepitwild #pugcross #jrtxpug #pugstagram #flashpuppy #discoverunder5k #dogsofsheffield 
Such a fun snowy walk with @fizzy.b yesterday! 
From that time @FizzyB and I went to a waterfall and he climbed to the top, and Melle threw a tantrum because he missed him, so we spent the whole time he was at the top yelling for Melle to not follow him! We went on a walk the other day, and as we walked along, laughing at the memory of something ridiculous we did as teenagers I thought about how lucky I am to have friends I've know for such a long time, who are still in my life and who I still like so much. We're off out for another walk today, so I'm expecting more of the same! No pressure Rob 😜 . . . . . . . .⠀ #peakdistrict #ig_peakdistrict #thepeakdistrict #thewildnesstonic #uniquedistrict #yorkshirephotographers #yorkshire #myhappyviews #whimsicalwonderfulwild #awakethelight #itsprimupnorth #embracingtheseasons #quietinthewild #beautyinsimplicity #slowlived #explore_britain #uk_greatshots #aseasonalyear #lessismoor #gowildlyandslow #welivetoexplore #optoutside #sheffield #reflection #onehouroutside #keepitwild #adventurewomen #womenwhohike #sheffield
