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".

Looking forward By Miss K L SLomczynski

 Good evening I have been playing around to see what I would like my bussiness logo to look like when I set up as self employed.

I have been trying to work with the DWP to see if this could be posible, but sadly with my eye sight still being a major issues i still do not know if it would be posible.

Yes I could still do some of my art work with being able to see, I can do it mainly by touch and with the help of my children.

I can also do some of it by memory and touch so I will wait and see how things go.

Slow and steady taking every thing one day at a time.

17th July 2025 how to make you money go futher during summer 2025 By Miss K L Slomczynski

  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.

12Th July 2025 Tree of life By Miss K L Slomczynski

 Tree of Life By Miss K L Slomczynski

The tree of life is a fundamental archetype in many of the world's mythological, religious, and philosophical traditions. It is closely related to the concept of the sacred tree.^[1] The tree of the knowledge of good and evil and the tree of life which appear in Genesis' Garden of Eden as part of the Jewish cosmology of creation, and the tree of knowledge connecting to heaven and the underworld such as Yggdrasil, are forms of the world tree or cosmic tree,^[2] and are portrayed in various religions and philosophies as the same tree.^[3]

How to Value: Costume Jewellery By Miss K L SLomczynski

 for a number of years now the one thing that I have done is used old broken jewlery and make it into something ne that I have made or designed.

The only consern is how much is broken jewlery worth?

Is it costume jewerlry?

Or have I mistaken things like diamonds for glass or pearls or plastic??

Some times it is easy to find out about an items of jewlery if it is hallmarked or is a known jewelry name like Cartier.

But how do you sort out the wheat from the chaff?

How much is what you have worth?

How much will people be willing to pay?

Also in 2025 how easy is it to spot a forgeries to the real thing?

Over the next few months I am aiming so look into this more and see what I can find out and learn for myslef.

I hope this information helps out my readers too.
