REFLECTIONS: Even on a cloudy day, you make my heart sing…..

On days when the sky forgets its colour, I’m reminded how easily meaning slips from view.
Yet even in that greyness, something stirs—
a faint awareness that being itself hums beneath the silence.
Perhaps what we call joy isn’t an emotion at all,
but the simple recognition that we are still here, still sensing, still becoming.
Even uncertainty, in its quiet persistence, sings its own kind of truth.

Where I love to be……

After the storm……..

This is one of my favourite beaches. Taken on a rather ‘stormy’ looking day, quite recently, can you guess where I am?

This is another one taken in the same place. A little more evidence of the overnight chaos and the aftermath of what was a blowy night.

You can see by the debris scattered across the beach.

What’s left behind…….

Later in the day when it all seems a little calmer. Although the jellyfish just on the bottom of the photo is a common sight here, but more prominent when the sea has been in turmoil. The sun has broken through and the dark clouds have dispersed somewhat……

Can you guess where this is?

Just to throw you completely. Anyone ever been here?

It’s a place I discovered more recently. Reasonably priced considering what’s on offer…..

My name is Vanessa Pinnington, aka Nessie the Nomad, a solo female traveller who once struggled with confidence and social interactions. Travel has taught me that even the smallest steps—like saying hello—can open doors to new friendships and unexpected adventures. Through my blog (and forthcoming book), I hope to inspire others to embrace their quirks, find strength in the ‘little wins’, and discover that the world has more possibilities than we ever imagined. If I can do it, anyone can.
