 This blog has now reached 1500 views!

When I started JustPickOneUK I had no idea whether anyone would read anything I wrote. I had no idea whether I would keep going with it. But now over 40 blog posts and 1500 views, plus a YouTube channel, an Instagram page and a TikTok account I think it's doing rather well. I'm still learning the ropes of all of the above platforms as they are all completely different. But I feel like I'm getting there and I have to be content with baby steps as I am still very new.

Of course everyone who creates hopes that the thing they make is going to do well. Art is subjective and writing anything or producing a video fills one with anxiety that it will be received in well and that someone else might like it or think the same way you do. But this is not guaranteed and it forces you to grow a thicker skin. 

Some people will not like anything you write others will never see what you've written and I have to be okay with that. 

For now though 1500 is a lovely round number to have sitting on my views statistics. (1499 that was achieved yesterday was also a very good number but it's the finality of reaching the round numbers that feels best for some reason)

Thank you very much to anyone who has read the blog watched my videos subscribed seeing anything on tiktok given that anything I like I really do appreciate it as it's giving me a creative outlet to be me and do something that I want. 

I hope that people will continue to see what I blog or video and continue to like it because I'm liking doing it.

40 before 40! The Full List

Well here is a challenge!  My husband asked me what I'd like to do for my 40th which is coming in 10 months. I said I'm not sure. There's lots of things I'd like to do really. I'd love to travel, eat nice things, see family, be productive at home, be alone, so quite a mixture really. Then it came to me while watching another YouTuber (Paul Messner) talk about the impact of doing something different. I'd like to do 40 things before I turn 40. These could be small and take a day to do. They could be big and take a week to do. Some things will take time, money and planning. They can be huge and take all 10 months. But all of them should be an experience, achieve a goal and / or improve my life in some way.  Doing the adventure of the UK road trip has really inspired me that things like that are possible. It is possible to do things that are different to the norm. I can live in a better way than before. At the moment I have no job to go to. No restriction in those t...

Campsite TV - What is it and how do I get in on the action?

-

When going tenting like we do, one of our favourite pastimes is Campsite TV. This doesn't mean getting out an aerial and looking for some signal while shouting "left, a bit right a bit!". I mean the comings and goings of other people on the campsite. The caravans, campervans, the tents, the site staff all going about their business without a care in the world. In my view, the best campsite TV occurs when you've been pitched for a couple of days and know the lay of the land so you can sit and judge others, (only in a kindly fashion), on where they believe the best spot is for them. It is particularly funny if the wind is blowing a bit hard or if this is a new or borrowed tent and they have no idea how to pitch it. Then you get to watch them pitching their tent / place the caravan and see how it was all jammed into their cars, wonder at the amount or lack of things other people have. Lust over their tables, chairs, awnings and flags or tell them under your breath that t...

3 Peaks in 3 Weeks - Volume 1

-
Image
This summer holidays we decided to go on a road trip. Not just any road trip but a camp around the UK. 3 nights here, 4 nights there, maybe a hotel overnight as a pit stop and tour the sights. This is a long tale and so I will need to break it up into bits. During this holiday we realized that it might be possible to see all three of the highest peaks in the UK. Mount Snowden in Wales, Scafell Pike in England and Ben Nevis in Scotland. Would we manage it by the end? Do you have to climb the 3 peaks to still enjoy them? Let's find out in this diary series I am calling 3 Peaks in 3 Weeks.  We began our journey on the south coast of England where we live. Car all packed with our tent, provisions, child in tow and more electrical items than we should have really and then the car wouldn't start! Why.....just why?? Thankfully we were able to get a jump start from our other car and we were off......until I had a small panic about 20 yards off the driveway when I thought I didn't l...
