2021 Happy New Year I Hope You Dance By Lee Ann Womack

With 2025 now drawing to a close I am taking this time to wish you a Happy New Year for 2026.

Usually I am to do a you tube video to welcoming in the new year and to show case the year I have had.

Sadly I have not been able to do this for 2025, due to my illness, disabilities and once again facing homelessness.

These are things that I would like to talk about more in 2026, also to showcase thought out 2026 to promote information and awareness about these.

I know that the say “A picture paints a thousand words.” So I will aim to do this though my art.

Anyone who would like to know more about this or to take part can do so by getting in touch with me or following me on social media.

So Happy New Year for 2026.

I will leave you with a link to an old New Year video that I did with my children.

Saturnalia Explained

Happy Satunalia December 17 to December 23

Saturnalia is an ancient Roman festival and holiday in honour of the god Saturn, held on 17 December in the Julian calendar and later expanded with festivities until 19 December.

By the 1st century BC, the celebration had been extended until 23 December, for a total of seven days of festivities. The holiday was celebrated with a sacrifice at the Temple of Saturn, in the Roman Forum, and a public banquet, followed by private gift-giving, continual partying, and a carnival atmosphere that overturned Roman social norms: gambling was permitted, and masters provided table service for their slaves as it was seen as a time of liberty for both slaves and freedmen alike.

A common custom was the election of a "King of the Saturnalia", who gave orders to people, which were followed and presided over the merrymaking. The gifts exchanged were usually gag gifts or small figurines made of wax or pottery known as sigillaria. The poet Catullus called it "the best of days".

17th July 2025 how to make you money go futher during summer 2025

  For a number of years now I have been following Nomadic Matt, but when it come to traveling and visiting places of intrest their is not much about the UK.

So this blog is going to include information about the UK and will spider web for their when it comes to traveling and trying to make your money go futher during the Summer Holidays of 2025.

So with all of the schools breaking up on 18th July in Nuneaton and Bedworth, alot of parents and guardians are going to be in the same ituation.

I am sure that alot of you are going to be thinking "OMG!"  "Six weeks of no school, how much will this cost me."

With a £1.00 no longer being worth a £1.00 any more You could easly be looking at speanding any where between £10.00 to £20.00 person and that may only get you a packet of crisps, per pack sandwiche, a bottle of water and a piece of fruit and a chocolate bar.

So speanding about £10.00-£20.00 per head before you have even put fule in the car or paid for public transport is a lot of money to pay out over 6 weeks. coyld quite easly work out at about £70.00 per week and then could work at about £420.00 per person in the space of 6 weeks.

So who would yu maker your money go futher during Summer 2025?

Their are anumber ways that this may beable able to be achived if you have been able to some of the following before the Summer holidays.

Claimed HAF Codes application information.

Looked on you local Council website for what is on (Nuneaton and Bedworth Borugh Council.)

Looked on the GOV.UK Website of futher information.

Pupil Premium  application information.

Summer play schemes/ after school clubs.

Then you still have time to plan how you are going to survive the next 6 weeks and make your money go futher to do so; by clicking on some of the link(s) that I have listed below that you may find useful.

I like learing new things my self, so finding this information in line I found very intresting.  When I go shopping with my children I am always encouraging them to read the packaging.

By doing so you can find out wher the products that you are buying are producted.  I think that personal this is very important so that you can make your on desion on whether you would like to buy it.

It unables you to then think about buying products that may be helping to surport other countries, products that are environmental, eithical, sustainable and help to reduce your carbon foot print.

If you like.

3 Months a head! By Miss K L Slomczynski

 3 months a head!

Again it is September and in all of the retail outlets "It's Christmas!"  Before Halloween or Bone-fire night!

Earlier in the year you could buy Easter Eggs before the date Jesus was even dead!

To me I personal feel that the magic of life is gone.

When I was a child I always looked forward to certin times of the year beacuse of the joy they would bring to me.

The opperunity to Pick your own fruit from the local Farm where you lived instead of being able to buy Strawberries all year round.

Looking forward to ice cream in the summer and now you can get it 2047 like most things in the world just by pushing a few buttons.

It is a really challange to teach the futre generation about the magic of life that had in my childhood when socail media is showing christmas products being sold in September unless you have a business that is called "The Chirstmas Store." or "Forever Fall." were every thing you sell is to celabrate a speacail time of the year 247.

So I am even finding myslef now waiting to see the first Valentines Card for 2025 and Easter Egg.

I just hope that my children do not see then first.

So over the next few months I will be bloging about what you could do with your loved ones over the next 3 months.

But on a budget due to the cost of living, it will not belong before parents start worring about the big "C" and what you buy and how much to spend.

When most children are just happy with an empty box.

So this year that about one thing, what dose it really take to make you happy and your loved ones to smile?
