Let's talk about camping. I've never been a camping girl, not before surgery or after really. My ideal camping is in a hotel room with a comfy bed, nice warm clean shower, functioning toilet and heat. I have recently been camping, for the second time in my life, but also, more importantly, for the first…
Just quick one! Happy valentine's day all! I know we don't need a special day to show we care however it is nice to show that someone you love just a bit extra appreciation today. Something as simple as picking a flower on your way home, writing a note and leaving it for them somewhere,…
What a start to the year... I have had an absolutely amazing time at home in England with my mum and sister over Christmas and New year, and as always, leaving was a pain!! On Sunday, the day of travel, I wake up with my ulcerous colitis blossoming up. My body was beyond exhausted, aching…
6 years ago I read Life of Pi and fell a bit in love with this text, so I wrote it on a piece of paper and stuck it on the door to my studio so I could read it every day (as well as everyone who entered the house as my studio was right…
Berlin trip was brilliant! I just about survived, we didn't stress too much which was nice, and spent most of the time stopping to eat at various places so I got a fair bit of rest thankfully! And of course the main reason for the trip was to check out a bronze foundry so that…
3 years ago today - January 31 - was the day I met my blondie. I was out on a girls night, totally off men and just enjoying being me. It was a cold night and payday weekend so everywhere was busy. We were cold and didn't want to stand in the queues so we…
All is not bright and shining in the life of Charlotte and the life of an ulcerous colitis sufferer, or rather I prefer UC Warrior! I started work a few weeks ago (Monday 8th January) as you know, and on the Wednesday as I was on the toilet doing my thing, also emptying my rectum…
The day before yesterday marked mine and Stevies 9 month day. 9 months ago I started a completely new chapter of my life. It has lead to me getting my life back, being able to do thing again, not be in pain and not bleed myself dry. It has ups and downs, but I am…
Yesterday was one of those days that reminded me of just how grateful I am for Stevie the stoma. We decided a bit last minute to drive up to Gothenburg to see Alice Cooper. It is roughly a 2 1/2 hour drive in one direction. So off we went. The day cleared up and we…
Today I am suffering, but oh my was it worth it! Last night was my first big concert with Stevie! And my first visit to a portaloo (or as it is called in Swedish 'bajamaja' and I just love that name), ill get back to this later. We went to see John Fogerty here in…
