The Book Fairies

Book Faerie Book Drop and browsing!

I first came accross The Book Fairies having gone into the local pub with a friend, and no, I don't drink, quite tea total so to speak.  This was one of my friends 'Play Pool' Days.  She said she'd found a book that I might be interested in and it had a strange sticker on it about fairies, now the book definately wasn't my sort of book at all so I was confused.  But then I did some searching, I found their website and other world wide people doing little book drops like this nationally and internationally. So I thought seeing thought I did Book crossing why not give it a try.  People seem to take this seriously to.  Other than the odd member of the public throwing my books that I leave out in the bin it has been going well.  

Myself and other Book fairies there are also Mini Book fairies if you search @bookfairies_worldwide on instagram or facebook or even twitter their out there posting photos of their book drops so I'd urge you to go and have a look.

I've just put one out side of where I am sitting now on the well outside our local tourist information centre, wrapped in a see through clear sarnie bag.  Theres also one I've put on our Tourist Information Book stall.  One I might put in the local little free library in the next little village from me.  Still trying to get the council to let us use the old red english telephone box up the north of my town for either a history box or a little free library.  That is one of my dreams!!

Sunflower Lanyards - Hidden Disability awareness

The Importance of raising awarness for Hidden Disablities

Hidden disabilities are often missed when people are out and about in public and out shopping.  Myself and others that I know have found it hard to even shop sometimes and finding it hard to ask a member of staff at the local supermarket for help in finding an item.  But it seems that Sainbury's has kicked off a new 'movement' with sunflower lanyards, I wonder if the Co op and ASDA etc will take notice and do the same.  It seems certain Tesco stores here in the UK have acknowledged it. Unfortunately not the ones near me. 

The Headway.org.uk website mentioned by google said "“Passengers who have a hidden condition or disability, including acquired brain injury, can use a sunflower lanyard to indicate to staff that they may require additional assistance. “The sunflower lanyard is a simple yet discreet way to enable staff at airports to identify those who may need extra support.” 

Sainsbury's own website also mentions "Sainsbury’s has announced the extension of a new trial to help enhance the shopping experience for customers with hidden disabilities."  

I myself have just got one so hopefully will try it out.

The Cocoa Tree, Helmsley

Review.

The Cocoa Tree,
Helmsley,
4, Castle Gate.

Yet again, I'm having problems with the formatting of blog posts so excuse the random layout.

Rae and her mum and step dad thought they'd have a cuppa in this little tea rooms, the staff very friendly after having been here a few times before and having Gluten Free cakes for Terry (Rae's step-dad) Unfortunatly this time Rae and Jenny (Rae's mum) only had time to share a rather delicious chocolate cake (which was massive even for two!!) Poor Terry didn't manage to get his GF cake as they'd sold out how could they so shocking tsk tsk lol.

The link to this tea rooms is: https://www.facebook.com/thecocoatree66/ a facebook page as I cannot seem to get the website and link to work! But a deffinate reccomendation if your ever passing by on the main road off from the Market place in Helmsley.

Helmsley

A Sunday Afternoon Stroll

Well moving on from the last blog where it rather rudly cut off on me! Shocking, my computer seems to be doing that an awful lot these days with Blogger or Blog spot. I still can't seem to get to grips with these blog spot drafts when I'm out and about and trying to save my travels to the app on my Iphone, wether or not it's the actual Iphone, my pc of blog spot I will never know! Ok my mum, aunt, uncle and step-dad took me to the little market town of Helmsley this afternoon luckily we managed to dodge some of the raindrops as we took a stroll amogst the blossom and daffodills.  So I'm going to put some pictures up for you all to view and hope you like them.  Have my readers ever been here to Helmsley in North Yorkshire, England UK? If so which is your favourite shop or tea shop ? (Tea shop coming in the next blog post!)

Helmsley Market Place Daffodill's down the stream bank.

Well thats all for now folks, until next time. :D <3 Peace out, Rae.

Rae's trip to Sienna

Hello Moonbeams! :D

Rae here for yet another blog post on her strolls around different towns and places. Mostly more near where she lives! Must go futher a field like that Devon Geocaching trip! This time my mum and step dad took me to Helmsley on my Birthday weekend.  It was a bit cold and windy but we managed to get round a few shops before they shut for their Sunday 'siestas'. 

One of them was a shop called Sienna down from the Helmsley market place, off a little side street. Which seemed quirky and I even bought a handbag which was rather colourful for me which is a nice change.  Also a Tree of life necklace.  The nice lady in there let me pop it on as I've got the most stupidly large neck there must be for anyone trying jewellery on! It's so embarrasing anyway the lady there was nice enough and here's a shout out and a thanks for coping with us fussy customers! hehe.

 I can only seem to get their facebook page up and a link to their website.  So here's the link and a photo of their logo if you ever want to visit.  I found it to be a nice little Quirky shop. Not too quirky but with nice things in.

www.siennahelmsley.com     It seems I'm having formatting problems with the blog site at the moment and also if the photos and links are a bit squiff!   So the next blog post will be about our Trip to Helmsley and another little place we went into.

Blasted it was a Virus!

Hello,

Ok, so I know this has been some time since I last posted a blog post in a while. No excuses that I should do so and got some ideas for what to post next like reviews and things I keep promising!  I'm still looking for articals to post on my blog if anyone has any ideas and if you wish me to advertise your local and not so local businesses! 

Your possibly trying to figure out why I titled this blog post like I did. For the past 2 weeks or so I've had a flu / cold virus and chest infection which last Sunday I had to be admitted to the local hospital to have tests done to figure out what it was and yep a virus had attacked my chest but im now on recovery and taking the anibiotics.  Not sure what most people think of taking them but they're seeming to work so heres hoping I can do some reviews and get out and about! I'm still trying to figure out how to put photos and pictures on here so if there's any blog nerds out there that can help me do let me know via social media Raevienne Rowan on fb!!

Signing off for now untill another post,

ADIOS AMIGOS,

Rae.
