That moment when you look away from the computer screen fingers poised ready to type, you look down and there sitting on letters GHJBN is a spider.. not any old spider no this was the Grand daddy of all spiders. so we starred each other out for a few seconds.. but he backed down and ran away... haven't seen him since  lol xx

The things us women have to go through..

The things us women have to go through..

 In the wee small hours while welcoming guests in the Hotel, l moved suddenly and had a sharp piercing pain in my chest, l felt the colour drain from my face as l stood there clutching my left breast..

The next few seconds of awkward silence that followed was broken by the gentleman asking if l was ok, i thought you were having a heart attack..

his wife being a woman of the world smiled and replied "l think you'll find my dear that the stabbing pain was her underwire not her heart... we did chuckle...

Until next time my lovelies

it's the simple things that make you smile...

 

 .....like an impromptu visit to St Margarets Bay, which is a little village near Dover where l live, 

when l finished work at 7 this morning, to stand on a door step with chocolate cake and cards in hands sing two verses of "Happy birthday to you" rather loudly l have to say .. before they finally open the door... shaking their head, and looking at the watch,   but with a massive smile on their face.... Happy 85th Birthday Uncle George ... your face was a picture... lots of hugs and kisses, then back home for some sleep ... 



Until next time my lovelies

A Mothers Advice Never Forgotten....

Always be Yourself

Always, always be true to yourself. You shouldn’t ever feel the need to impress others by being something you’re not. YOU are enough, and if they don’t agree, it’s time for THEM to go.

 Never forget your Past

 It makes us who we are at this exact moment. The past teaches us what we want, what we don’t want, and who we want to be. Every day is a new day to start all over again.

 Always be Honest

They always say “Honesty is the best policy.” And I couldn’t agree more. Though sometimes the truth may hurt, at the end of the day, being honest will make you feel better.



Even as a child l listened to her beautiful voice



 Follow your Dreams

  Always follow you heart and never, ever let anybody belittle your dreams and ambitions.

 Never be Ashamed to Cry

No matter what it’s for. We can all use a good cry sometimes.

 Never Apologise for being Funny

This world needs more funny people. It’s too damn serious sometimes and I truly believe that laughter has the ability to heal.

 Demand Respect

If you don’t demand it, you simply will never get it. People treat you the way you allow yourself to be treated and the way you treat yourself.

Until next time my Lovelies,

Love and hugs   Louise xx 

Premier Inn Panda....

As many of you know l work as a night receptionist at the Dover East Premier Inn  and guest do have a habit of leaving things in the rooms... one morning last week we received a call from a family that had left an hour or so previously, but were now on the cross channel ferry heading for a two week holiday in France... they had a rather distraught child with them who had forgotten Panda...

Don't worry my manager said we'll find him and look after him.. and so she did and he was placed up on the shelf at the back of the reception to wait for the return of his beloved family...

The next night when l was working he kept cathing my eye, and he looked so sad.. so well l brought him down and sat him on the desk... then l had one of those quirky light bulb moments...

So over the course of the night Panda was place in various positions around the hotel doing different things..

To go along with the photography l decided to write a little book... calling it

Panda's Holiday in Dover

I was given permisson to take him home just for a few hours with a promise that l would guard him with my life...

So off Panda and l went to the beach..

and lastly l let him share my strawberries with a friend...

So by the time the family comes back next week.. l will have written the book of Panda's adventures in Dover, developed the photos and put it all together..

So they can see Panda has had fun too....

and to all my work colleagues, yes it's been confirmed that Louise really is quirky...

Until next time my Lovelies

Take care

Love and hugs

Louise xx
