🌤️ Smiffy’s Midweek Thought
Wednesday — the day that quietly asks, “Are we nearly there yet?” The weekend’s on the horizon, the coffee’s still doing its best, & the to-do list is pretending to behave.
Keep smiling, keep plodding, and maybe treat yourself to something sweet. You’ve earned it. 🍪

What’s your favourite place in Aotearoa New Zealand 🇳🇿?

What’s your favourite place in Aotearoa New Zealand 🇳🇿?
Aotearoa New Zealand 🇳🇿
Fun Fact 1) Blenheim
Famous for being one of New Zealand’s sunniest towns, Blenheim is the perfect base for exploring Marlborough’s world-class vineyards.
It’s small enough to stroll around but big on flavour — especially if you love Sauvignon Blanc!

Be honest - has anyone else already dug out their Christmas jumper for a quick look?
👀 It might be too soon to wear them, but jumper season is definitely on its way. 🥶

Smiffy’s Thought For The Day 🍪☕
Life’s a bit like a box of biscuits.
We’re all different — some fancy, some crumbly, some everyone loves, and a few that get left till last.
On our own we’re good, but together we make a cracking mix.

Sunday: the day when coffee tastes better & time moves slower!
Sunday has that magic mix of calm & promise.
It’s the perfect pause before the week begins again.
Here’s to slow mornings, warm mugs, & the art of doing absolutely nothing without feeling bad about it!

✨ As Nina Simone once sang:
It’s a new dawn. It’s a new day
It’s a new life for me. And I’m feeling good 😊
Today I received the first photo from my shoot with the brilliant Julian Knopf of Gander Photography.
This is a more confident, healthier, happier me than I’ve seen in years.

Midweek magic or midweek mayhem? You decide!
Smiffy’s Midweek Thought
They say Wednesday is ‘hump day,’ but I prefer to think of it as the travelator in the airport.
You’re not at the gate yet, but you’re gliding toward it with style.
Keep moving, Friday is waving from the distance!

Sundays are proof the week comes with a reset button.
Smiffy’s Sunday Thought:
Sundays aren’t for rushing, they’re for recharging. Whether that’s a lie‑in, a roast, or just ignoring the ironing pile… claim it guilt‑free. Tomorrow can wait.
Happy Sunday everyone. Enjoy your day, stay safe & well.

Seems my Paul Helps People polo shirt is having a magnet effect 🤣
On the train from Paignton to Exeter and six different people have asked me for directions and if the train stops at a particular station.
At least I’m getting noticed! 😀

Just been into my local Gregg’s and was asked by the lady serving me what I did, having seen my branded polo shirt. Gave her a card and explained what I do and how I might be able to help.

As a travel agent, I’m in no way surprised at this list, nor who is on there. They all excel in the area of cleanliness. I’m sure there are others too, but this is a great recommendation regardless.
