I'm Sam, a fifty something who along with my fiancé, Jon, two dogs and two cats have recently moved from living on a boat for 4 years in Yorkshire to a farm in Cornwall.
Life's been a roller coaster just like so many peoples', but I feel I've come out the other side a better person having learnt so much along the way.
With the support of a loving family and great childhood, a difficult time at school, a strange choice of higher education, one emigration to USA and back again, various jobs, businesses & life experiences under my belt including two amazing children, post natal depression, close family bereavements, one great marriage, a sad divorce and an early, difficult menopause, I can safely say life's been interesting, but I've made it past 50, (which, when I was a kid I thought was ancient!) and I'm very happy, busy, fit & active. Along with my fella, we snowboard, surf, mountain bike and walk, a lot. Just thought I'd shout about it :-)
Oh it’s not paragliding, (although Jon has done that in the past) it’s a Power Kite which is huge and takes all your strength when it’s in full flow or when it’s windy. I’ve been taken up in the air many a time
Aha! So I still wouldn’t …. a nasty incident on Primrose Hill which ultimately involved the monkey house at London Zoo followed by reading the Wasp Factory put me off flying kites for life. But I can see how it would be really really fun!
I should probably write the Primrose Hill incident …. changing names since it was entirely caused by my ex-husband 😂 It was hilarious with hindsight – one of those!

Yes I do think you should now you’ve set the mysterious scene 😃
Sam, just wondering if the pooch in the corner is a toy too? 🙂 Yes, I am with Oysth the bike gets the thumbs up as opposed to the paragliding! I might have to partake in one of these photographic posts, one day!
Hi Suzanne, well, Miss Puggles and myself do spend a lot of time playing hahaha. It’s actually a Power Kite not a paragliding kite, so feet firmly on the ground until the wind gets up and then it certainly pulls me up, scarily sometimes! 🙂
Hahaha, I bet Miss Puggles is a grand playmate 🙂 Whether it is a power kite or paragliding does not matter, I enjoy my feet on mother earth way too much 🙂 Though I am sure it would be fun for you and others who enjoy heights!
How fun!😍
Brings me right back!
The bike I get, the paragliding not so much!! Great pictures though, which is the point of the challenge xx
