About

Hi! I'm Heather and welcome to my blog, By Heather!

I'm so happy you've stumbled across my little corner of the internet to read my pages of pure randomness.

I've had blogs in the past, which I basically got fed up with. I had come to a bit of a dead end with them and questioned why I was bothering really, as they weren't going anywhere. But for many years I still thought about the blogs and as I've got a little older and now in my 40's and I am literally in my no f's given era, I've decided to start blogging again.

I'll be honest, I still don't know what I'm doing. I haven't a 'niche' or a plan, but I do know I love to write, to share and want to document all the goings on in my life.

Whether that's a trip away, a random recipe, a rant or just simple chats and sharing my thoughts that roll around in my head. I now have a place to 'get it all out' and hopefully build something special along the way - whatever that is, I'm still not sure!

So, a bit more a bout me!

In a nutshell, I'm 44, a typical Pisces, I'm married, living in Spain and a stay at home cat-mum of 12.

When I met my husband 17 years a go I was Cabin Crew in the UK and flying around the world to various long and short-haul destinations. My husband also in the aviation industry, we decided to take unpaid leave and go on a little overseas adventure for 6 months. 

Six months turned into five and a half years. 

We started off in KL in Malaysia for 6 months, then the remaining five years we were in the UAE. We lived in Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Ras Al-Khaimah. All due to my husbands jobs, but crumbs what an experience.

During that time we bought a house in Spain. 

We moved back briefly to the UK to basically sort our house out, sell it and move to Spain.

Again because of my husbands job he had the opportunity to work in Germany, France (which we did move to briefly), UK, Riyadh in Saudi Arabia and Florida.

For those locations I just visited for one reason and another, but mainly because of the cat's. It's hard to fly them around the world with us.

Fast forwarding to present day and because I don't want to bore you too much with my life story, we're firmly in Spain and Mark, my husband commutes to the UK for work.

So that's a little bit of background on me.

But I'm sure over the course of my posts, snippets and memories of life will pop into these pages too.

So along with building my blog I've recently started a YouTube channel. 

Which again is something I've wanted to do for so long, but always shied away from it. But as I'm in the no f's era I decided to just do it. 

It is a little cringy at the moment and I've hardly told anyone about it, but life's too short to worry about what people think! 

I am actually proud of myself that I'm actually editing and putting some vlogs together, with the help of ChatGPT of course, haha! 

If you have a peek at them leave me a comment to let me know you popped over from here :)

I think I've rambled on for a bit so if you've read this far, thank you! 

I hope you stick around and follow my little blog journey and most of all I hope you enjoy reading all my randomness and having a peek into my world.
