Medieval Festival Ruislip

I visited the Medieval Festival this morning and found it quite interesting. Its good to see the local community coming together. There were lots of things to look at and crafts to take part in. A good place to bring the children to, as it was very entertaining.

I thought the history of the Manor farm where the Medieval Festival was held was particularly interesting. The Manor Farm House Museum was full of information about the restoration of the buildings on the Farm. There were details on how the age of the buildings were researched, this was done by counting the rings in the wood of which the buildings were built from. I was fascinated to find that they discovered honey comb in the walls of one of the buildings. They also had found an original piece of one of the holy caskets, which depicted an angel holding a sword.

The community dress up to demonstrate Medieval history of the Manor, selling produce and showing weapons from the Medieval times. They have a Medieval encampment and demonstrate Medieval battles. If the farming interests you, they also have original farming equipment displayed in one of the barns.

My friends had a display for the local shows, as they take part in the plays in the local theatres. Overall it was a fun morning, very social, entertaining and educational.

Working with Parkinson's

I find that learning about different conditions can help me with my work.
I work with people who suffer from different conditions including Parkinson's.
It is not often mentioned that Parkinson's can cause pain.  This is often caused through the muscles and bones in the body being forced into intense positions.  This can cause long term injury or overuse of muscles.  People who suffer from Parkinson's can suffer from pain such as tingling and aching limbs. They can suffer from back and neck problems, these can be caused from bad posture.

We can help others feel more comfortable just by knowing about their condition. We can also help  by being sensitive to their verbal and physical reactions.
Remember, Michael J Fox says he is a very 'Lucky Man'.
 

Reflexology Research & Study

I decided to have a look at some courses on Reflexology, and found out that I could get an ITEC in Reflexology, which I could do in London. I will have to save up a bit first as they can be expensive.  I applied for a Reflexology course in my area, but they never had enough students to fill the classes.
Once I find the course for me I will start studying. I may do a day course first. Just asking the Universe for a bit of help with this so I get the right course sent to me.

I have been looking at Reflexology for sometime now and have some information I would like to share with you before it goes onto my website...

In Reflexology, different parts of the foot relate to different parts of the body. Pressure is applied to the foot in these different areas in order to release blockages in the body and maintain good health.
There is also Hand Reflexology which works the same way, and Face Reflexology.  I would like to learn all of these. I have received Reflexology myself and found it really relaxing.

I remember learning about the glands in the body when I took part in a healing group. I also remember learning about the different parts of the body.

 

I cant wait to learn more, It will be lovely to become more involved in helping people to maintain their health.

 

 

 

My Travel Experience with Just You

I went to Malaga with 'Just You' who are a travel company for single travellers ( People who travel alone).  It was something I had wanted to do for a while, but never quite had the courage or the budget.  I finally went last May and although the weather wasn't as warm as we would of liked, it was still fun.  We visited all sorts of different places, we stayed in Mijas Hotel. I went with Just You because I wanted to travel independently and meet new friends.  I will book again with them next year. Its the beginning of my travel experiences, I want to visit as  much of the world as possible. I met some really nice people, they were so friendly and we had a fantastic time.

 

Me in Malaga soaking up the little bit of sun there was, there was a bit of a wind factor. The views were spectacular.

 

Above is Gina our guide, she was telling us all about the local area and also the history of some of the places we visited.

 

Above, they still use animals to help them work, the streets are very narrow, and traffic is not supposed to drive down them.

 

 

Above, my travelling friends and I. It was a cold day, wearing mac to keep out cold.

 

 

The beach we visit, really lovely weather, my favourite day, we had ice cream and walked around shops and had a paddle in the sea.

Not sure where I will go for my next trip. If you would like to know more you are welcome to visit my Travel Experience group on Facebook..https://www.facebook.com/groups/479990215404560/ 


 

My healing experience

Receiving healing today, i felt emotional. I had a safe space to relax and feel unconditional love. My body and mind felt floaty and relaxed. My healer listened and did not judge. The healing took a load off my mind and helped me to let go of negative emotions. Thankyou healer x

R.I.P My Best Friends Dad. Always in our Hearts xx

I remember when I first met him, he was such a kind person, always joking and laughing. I used to go around to my best friends house every day and her parents and family were so lovely and supportive. My best friends Dad, was like family to me, I knew him for over 15 years and he never judged me and was always there for me. 

When he gave my friend and me a lift one day, he was joking with us on the way.  We had a good laugh about all sorts of things, he was so funny.  He talked to me about my dream to travel and told me to be careful, he was always more concerned about others than he was for himself.

I used to go to my friends house and he was always there in the kitchen and up all night, we used to have long chats and laughs.  My best friends family have always been such amazing support for me and I love them all. 

All the best to you lovely, RIP and remember you are always in our hearts. Cheers mate XXXX
