When Black Becomes a Rainbow

Hullo. My plans for this afternoon went a little pear-shaped - I was meant to be giving an assignment in tomorrow for my law course, but as I received an extension until next week, instead of spending a good solid 4 hours this afternoon writing up an essay on whether 'Alpha Ltd and Beta Ltd had a successful case of Judicial Review against Gamma Ltd', I spent those four hours under my covers sleeping. Yes, FOUR hours! Nice and refreshed from my well-earned sleep, I have decided that without the immediate pressures of my assignment on my shoulders, I would come on here, and as a friend so kindly hinted to me today, I needed to put a new post up - the old one was kind a getting rather boring (and maybe a little depressing?!). As my life seems to go, there have been some ups and downs (the latter seeming to be a more common theme).  I have been wondering over and over how many times a person can fall down and then pick themselves up again?

Sitting 'sunning myself' on the beach in Cornwall.  I am so happy I came, and very grateful to my Parents for letting me loose in their holiday flat: Check it out here . Being back here always gives me memories; mainly happy ones of my family holidays. We had many many good times here and I will never forget them.  Walking along the different parts of the coast path seeing beautiful wonders many people would not believe possible in 'dreary England'.  Porthcurno Bay, Cornwall We spent hours driving to the most beautiful beaches where my Dad set up his mini camping gas paraphernalia making a cooked feast of sausage rolls, pot noodles and of course hot beverages of your choice. We all played cricket for hours on end (though my older brother was banned from batting; the complaints of the fielders who ended up running half a marathon by the end of his innings were taken into account!).  We once even dared to  take an inflatable boat on to the beach
