Looking Back At My Highs & Lows of 2018.

Looking Back At My Highs & Lows of 2018. – Aware people are so right when say, that each active year to get older. The active years go by faster and faster. I genuinely wanted to promptly present an independent review for myself. Looking Back At My High & Lows of 2018.  Has undoubtedly remained a mixed year for me. Undoubtedly losing a family member, definitely seeing familiar people true colours, joyous celebrations. Dear friends, that have been living in an ultimate nightmare. Amazing holidays, discovering new places. Losing weight. It has been undoubtedly a roller coaster of a year, and at ample times I have wanted to get off.

JANUARY 2018

Looking Back At My Highs & Lows of 2018. – In the initial hours of 4th January. My Great Auntie Violet was suddenly taken away from us. I undoubtedly accept a tiny family. Therefore, Violet has been undoubtedly my greatest lost, since my Great Nan. Which was 20 years ago. She is desperately missed and has naturally produced a massive hole in our dear hearts, that will never be filled. I still cry to this day. But don’t allow my noble family, or dear friends know. We constantly think we typically have more time. Why is it that when someone is no longer there, you heartily wished, we saw and spoke to them more?

In the lovely picture above Violet is in the brilliant green and her dear sister (my nan Bobbie) is in the brilliant blue. Violet was going to be turning 80 this year. 

So January 2018, did not start off well me and my friend.

FEBRUARY 2018 

Looking Back At My Highs & Lows of 2018. – I do genuinely love going to the theatre, in London. Our Christmas gift from my Mum and Dad. For my charming sister along with our active partners and me. Theatre tickets to see.  Motown The Musical at The Shaftesbury Theatre.

Motown accurately represents the remarkable story behind the unique sounds that efficiently converted the modern world. Barry Gordy, who is the legendary founder of Motown Records and undoubtedly discovered the Jackson 5, Diana Ross, Stevie Wonder and many more. A fabulous show that will typically make you get up and dance merrily and sing merrily your heart out. Motown will be playing until 20th April 2019.

On 26th February, we were honoured to go willingly and undoubtedly see my dear friend Donna’s dear son (Harry) in School Of Rock.

A great party night that is hosted once an active month at the Cliffs. To be fair it’s undoubtedly like a massive Hen Party. We danced the night away.

Having pre-booked my social party in December 2017. Private Stock Brook Manor golf club, in Billericay, Essex. Is undoubtedly where I hosted my official party. Under no circumstances typically, do I ever arrange anything for my birthday. As I don’t like the fuss. On the glorious day of my party, I had Ashleigh Bruce MUA do my makeup. Along with six of my dear friends. Promptly getting my birthday dress from French Connection. On the night of my Birthday Party. I could not have requested it to go any better. Almost all my dear friends and noble family came along helping me to enthusiastically celebrate my night. Dancing the night away with dear Sister Sax on the modern decks, and played wonderfully the sax throughout the night. For me, it was undoubtedly such a good night. I genuinely loved every elegant minute of it.

DECEMBER 2018

Looking Back At My Highs & Lows of 2018. – Naturally putting the jolly Christmas Tree up on 1st December, I genuinely love lavishly decorating the tree. It’s been an acted month this December.

We heartily enjoyed an excellent 3-course dinner and then carried the night on with a VIP area, along with intoxicating drinks. My dear son Frank undoubtedly passed his driving test (yippee).

On 13th December, my longtime buddy Lisa carefully arranged a pleasant surprise for me for my Birthday. Lisa arrived promptly at my lovely house at 7.15 pm in her car along with Karen and Juliette. As I got into the car, I was presented with a blindfold. I had no idea where I was going willingly. The car stopped after 15 minutes. Juliette and Lisa escorted me along a local road and gently steered me through a door. They promptly informed me to stop instantly and take the blindfold off. I instantly jump as there was a massive SURPRISE. To my dismay friends and my Mum, Mother-in-law and Sister-in-law were standing in front of me. (I did cry delightedly.).

Lisa traditionally hosted my joyful surprise at The dandelion and burdock, Stock. With a fab tapas food and celebratory drinks. It’s been the best Birthday ever!
