Time Fly 's

 Hello Friends, First a foremost apologies for the time lapse it has certainly went by very quick since I last posted in  August 2023 . Life has had its challenges Healthwise a little long covid  was making me a little tired and brought up physical issues , I have great people looking after me and with a few trips to Bristol to my familiar doctors and medical professionals   things have  improved greatly .  I also got through a very cold and wet Irish winter . My Son started secondary school which is a big step , as I  write he has completed the first year it went so super quick . He now nearing the start of his second year , I am so proud of him , transition from primary education can be hard and he was doing it away from his friends , on his own . It has been a humbling experience seeing how he settled in and made friends and is now in the grove . One very Proud father of a TENNAGER !  I am also adapting to filling my time with new challeng...

The Bright Introduction

How are you?

Here I am stepping into the unknown, opening up my life to the world. 

Why Now I hear you ask?

Well my other half got fed up of listening to me rabbit on and she challenged me to put my story out there as it may help another person or family. 

So here I am becoming a blogger with no real computer experience so this is the first bright thing to come out of this experience, I will learn and advance my skills 😉.

I intend to reveal my story as time goes on. I will share with you the past , the present and the future ... Bright Side For living , .

I chose to title my blog the Bright Side For living , because 'Always Look On The Bright Side of Life'  -Monthy Python is the tune that is embedded in my head . 

Eric Idle lives on the legend . 

First thing every morning I get out of the Bright side of the Bed , mainly because my side is the window side of the bed. 

I stretch and yawn , sometimes trip over my own feet ,  yep I can be clumsy that is one of gifts that was given to me in 1991 after my accident resulting in a Major head injury  (plenty of time to recount that part of the past later on ).

The past few years have been challenging for the world . No one has not been effected by the Pandemic (Covid)  again I will in due course share my journey with the pandemic with you .

A positive aspect to the whole thing for me was I picked up my camera again after 10 years of just snapping my family - I am getting back to my Photography  which I do intended to share here. 

The reality of this blog is not all of its contents may appeal to you ,but as my story and journey unfolds if you can take one thing away no matter how big or small it will enhance the Bright Side for Living 

I thank you for visiting my space here and I hope you will come back from time to time.

Dan 😀

(Bright side that the first post done😉)

The Wonder Year 1991 - 19th August the day the world changed

  Hello Friends, A new month (March) the is weather cold and yes there wind a rain for this time of year before I move forward I am going to take a deep breath as I am ready to put into words the event that changed the course of my young life in August 1991. A little refresher I and my family were in Dordogne France, we were have a really nice time in the fresh air, we had a swimming pool to play in .   As I continue, I will make note of   things that I have had confirmed or have no recollection of and my people have helped fill in the blanks. photo credit : The Crouch family   The cottage (photo above) we were staying in sat alongside a Farm tranquil and picturesque. I wasn’t able to recall much details until my Mum show me some holiday photos before the 19 th August. no digital technology to record daily life - old fashioned camera (that I call a real cameras) a with film the type that needed development after photo was taken.   The photo shows a...

The Wonder Year 1991 - School out let Summer commence

  Hello Friends , February here already were does the time go ? I have been juggling learning new skills and emotions . Sitting and writing this blog has opened up the past and it also showing me a future. It honestly is rewarding and challenging all at the same time. I am having to deal with sensitive emotions but also learning to be patient as I learn the process of writing , drafting , editing and trying to make my written word presentable and a good read   (which of course it is !) Here we go a trip into the past , to be precise the summer of 1991. A year that is made up of numbers that in reverse order matches the year it self ( a bit of trivia ). Imagine  credit Google School was out, the car was packed and   Tibby the family cat was being looked after by Mrs  Box our neighbor. The coolest names ever our neighbor's at the time Mr Dick Box and Mrs Betty Box awesome neighbors even with the occasional football over the fence offence occurrences ...

Back home & world of the hospital wards,school

  Hello Friends. Doesn’t time fly when your distracted by living on the Bright side of life, it been a while and so much has changed in that time . The season has turned to summer , My Son has completed his final year in primary education , New adventures ahead for him and for me as his parent   . He also officially taller than his mother which I can honestly say is a relief as I was a bit worried that he inherited the leprechaun gene   ! My son is now in the age range that I had so cruelly taken from me as a full able bodied carefree youngster .   As we go on this journey it makes me appreciate the normality of the “growing/developing pains challenges we are both experiencing as he matures and becomes independent . My parents had a dark cloud hung over them when I was at this age , one that needed courage , strength and determination to guide me through recovery and development , their worry now was my recovery , my health , my basic development . There was ...
