The Beautiful North Sea at Cambois, Northumberland

Cambois is my local beach here in Northumberland, it's a lovely quiet beach with beautiful sand.

It doesn't really have any amenities apart from a pub at one end, and plenty of car parks so it doesn't really attract a lot of people apart from dog walkers.

In my video I am zooming into the neighbouring resort of Newbiggin by the sea, well it's church :)

Why I love Sun holidays

In common to last year this year I went away on a Sun newspaper caravan holiday.

For those of you who don't know the Sun newspaper here in the UK runs several promotions throughout the year for a cheap caravan holiday starting at £9.50 a person. The holiday is based on 4 people so actually costs from £38 for either 4 nights mid week or 3 nights over the weekend in a caravan park.

You collect codes from the newspaper over the promotion, and when you have enough you book through the post or online. It's a bit more fiddly than a normal booking as you have to give a choice of 4 places you want to go, and especially if you do it by post you're not guaranteed your first choice, I prefer to book online as you can check on their site what is still available.

There's quite a wide choice of where you can go in the UK, last year me and my husband went to Scotland and this year me and my husband went with my parents to Skegness, stopping at the Golden Palm holiday park.

The holiday itself was good fun, although the caravan was a bit too snug for 4 adults. Skegness itself is a great place to visit though, with lots to do.

The main reason I love the Sun deal though is they provide a great cheap holiday base to see places in the UK you might otherwise not bother with, or not be able to afford.

Skegness for me is one of those places, it's not somewhere I would ordinarily think of going, but I really enjoyed it.

Windmill Reflections on the River Blyth

                                                                                                                                                                                             

My video of the reflection of a windmill on the River Blyth in Northumberland. Whilst fog is cold, and reminds me of the old horror film I quite like the peace and quiet it creates.

The North Sea.

The North Sea

The North Sea is the main sea between the east of the Uk and scandanavia. 

It's often quite a wild sea, as apart from being tidal, it is also very cold and often windy. It's quite changeable.

I love a day along it though, I like watching the power and majesty of the waves, as well as seeing all the different wild

                

Why I have a Bucket List

My bucket list first started as a dream board on Pinterest.

It was inspired by Paul Mckenna's book Change your life in 7 days, as having a dream board is something he recommends. He believes looking at your dreams, and really imagining them will help you to achieve them.

Now personally speaking this last part hasn't yet worked for me, but it's something I'm working on.

For me my bucket list or dream board is a visual reminder and a place of inspiration for all the things I'd love to do or become. It's a way of reminding myself that there's a better life out there, and only I can make it happen.

My dream board is mostly filled with a lot of holiday destinations, as I love travelling, but I have also tried to include smaller more manageable tasks that I can realistically do in a year, as I think it's important to accomplish at least some of your dreams and smaller ones help to build towards larger ones. An example of this is I want to learn to crochet, and to become more flexible. Big dreams include becoming better at blogging :)

Overtime my board has involved, and I have found what I don't include can be as interesting as what I do. The one on Pinterest that always makes me smile is, swim in all the oceans, It sounds great until I realised I have no desire to swim in the Arctic, I prefer my water warm :).

A board I have which is as important to me, if not more important than my dream board is a board to celebrate all the amazing things I've done. It reminds me that I've already done amazing things and will do more, it also helps to remind me that some things I take for granted are on other people's dream boards. Sometimes this is more important for encouraging me than my actual dream board.

This blog is also a way of encouraging me, and helping me to document my path to a great life. Hopefully it will also inspire and encourage you.

So would I recommend you making a dream board or Bucket List on Pinterest or in a scrap book? Definitely, you may not achieve all of them, but the ones you do will be amazing.
