How we React to Things...
How we React to Things...
I recently had a situation happen to me that comletely knocked me for six, floored me, upset me beyond belief and there was absolutely nothing I could do about it. Nothing.
My website provider switched my site builder from one day to the next, completely reformatting my website. The first I knew about it was when I clicked on my site and thought it didn't look right and definitely not how I left it last time.. Different fonts, mis-aligned text, different colours...
All the hours of SEO work that I'd learnt how to do had gone. Nothing there. Removed. Blank sheet. From 21st October 2020 this was, effectively, a new site on the net. Old stats gone. Tools I'd relied on since first building my site in 2008 gone. Just gone.
About two months ago I did receive an email about upgrading the site at some point. No date given and no communication whatsoever since. No heads up on the change over date - nothing. I had no chance to screen shot info or key words and there's no tutorial on how to use the new builder. Do you laugh because it's nuts or do you cry... I cried.
I felt like I'd lost a huge part of me - a bit silly maybe but there you go, that's how I felt. I liked to look back to see what visits I'd had from where and see how my site had done over the years. I was really proud of the 80% SEO mark I'd managed to get by tweaking a word here, adding a different phrase there, making some words plural and others not... all these little things make the difference and it was a fair bit of a learning curve for me - I've got none of them saved , of course..
So... Anyways... Deep breath...
I recently treated myself to a lovely book - The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse by Charlie Mackesy. A truly beautiful book.
On one of the pages it says " One of our greatest freedoms is how we react to things ".
So very true..
Can I live without all that archived data? Yes, of course..
Can I learn how to use this new builder? Yes...
Will it take me hours to re-do the SEO work? Yes!!! :(
But can I do it? Oh yes...
Um... Is it easier to write this blog post in the new builder format...? Yes.
Does my website now have that lovely little secure padlock icon? Yes.
Might I learn to love this new builder? Oh probably...
There's a cherry in here somewhere - I just have to find it...
And find that pesky, invaluable SEO analyser... now where on earth has that gone???
Best get Coffee and Carry On
Happy Sunday Everyone
Catch You Next Time x

T'is the Season....
| Posted on 10 July, 2018 at 15:02 |
I
know, I know – l o n
g time no Blog but, really, it’s
been totally bonkers here for weeks! It’s
the WEDDING SEASON already, okay? And
does the rest of my Life stop and Pause a while so I can get on with all my
Flowery stuff? Absolutely NOT ha! So
we’re doin’ the all the normal, everyday Mumma stuff here… The school runs…
Teen support….Organising the Husband… Forgetting to defrost Supper… Not
Hoovering (as always)… Remembering the family Birthdays (thank God for
Moonpig!)... Housey-Washingy stuff… NOT Ironing (haven’t done that for almost
two decades now ha! #result… Having some fairly major dentistry done
(ouchy-ouchy on the £££’s)… Organising a
new Laptop for my son after his old one stopped working, again.. (ouchy-ouch-oucheee
on the £££’s #gottahaveaTerabiteofthis #gottahaveani5somethingofthat… And
don’t even get me started on the Garden….. PLUS… All
the Busiest Florista Stuff you can imagine!!... Up early mornings to get on the
Dutch websites and get those Flowers.… Fending off the growing Paperwork pile
and totally NOT succeeding.… Being there for last minute Bride requests… Being
there for new and excited Brides wanting to book in.… Going
on lovely venue visits with new Brides – Yep – Love that too… Ordering
lots of lovely new stock! I do enjoy that bit but sometimes I get carried away…
new ribbons, new wrap, new lace… velvet…satin… Tissue Paper! I LOVE tissue
paper… vases and votives… garlands to add to the Silk Blossom Trees… I
could go on but I won’t :) Anyway,
let me give you a little pictorial “Catch Up” of what’s been happening… Lilly
Cat’s been chillin’  Harley
Puss has been chillin’ too  (PS.
They don’t yet know they’ve got a VET’S appt for jabs coming up… )I’ve
been doing a bit of this… #homecooking   And
a bit of that… #afternoontea  And
a lot of this… #thebusyflorista    The
Garden’s been looking lovely… Well, okay, I have to say early June was FAB but
it’s been a tad overblown, overgrown and somewhat Blowsy since then ha! But
all my Sage cuttings have survived and we’ve had Strawberries and I’ve grown
Chives! Okay - neither of these want to go round the right way...   Oh
and I must tell you – I knew I’d been doing too much floristry prep when I
caught myself cutting Broccoli stems one evening at a 45 degree angle ha ha!  Oh
now, I’ve got to show you this – This is Harls on a hot day… under the duvet.. Nomad style. What is he like…
#gottalovehimYep - this pic being difficult too.....  Ps.
I’ve noticed a distinct increase in my use of hash tags since I’ve been watching
Love Island on ITV hub whenever I stop for a bite to eat .. I know, bear with me
on this, I’ll be fine again in a few months’ time… But
don’t tell me ANYTHING okay you guys - I’m
still about 5 days behind everyone else ha! So,
here we go into another full on wedding prep day tomorrow – I’ve had some of
the most Gorgeous weddings to do this year, I mean absolutely fabulous couples
and wonderful briefs. Just lovin’ it. Love them all – having a super season! Watch
out for the Insta posts okay? And
if you’re getting married in 2019 or 2020 in Suffolk, Essex, Cambs or Norfolk
and would like a Coffee-Biscuit-Consult with me here at the Studios then give
me a shout – Love to see you! x     Xx
Happy Summer Everyone! Xx |

I want to show some appreciation to the writer just for rescuing me from this trouble. Just after surfing throughout the world-wide-web and obtaining ideas that were not helpful, I figured my life was gone. Living devoid of the approaches to the problems you have solved all through your main article content is a serious case, and those which could have negatively damaged my entire career if I hadn't discovered your website. Your capability and kindness in dealing with almost everything was helpful. I don't know what I would've done if I hadn't come upon such a subject like this. It's possible to at this moment look ahead to my future. Thanks so much for this impressive and sensible guide. I won't be reluctant to recommend your web site to any individual who desires care on this area.

I have to show my thanks to the writer for rescuing me from this incident. After looking throughout the internet and getting notions which are not productive, I was thinking my life was gone. Living devoid of the solutions to the problems you have resolved all through your good post is a critical case, as well as the ones that could have adversely damaged my career if I hadn't noticed your site. Your primary skills and kindness in dealing with every aspect was important. I'm not sure what I would've done if I hadn't encountered such a point like this. It's possible to now look forward to my future. Thank you very much for the reliable and results-oriented help. I won't think twice to recommend your web page to any person who needs tips about this area.

It is remarkably open-handed with people like you to allow unreservedly what exactly a few individuals could possibly have advertised for an e-book in order to make some bucks for their own end, notably now that you might have done it if you ever decided. Those smart ideas also acted as the easy way to be sure that some people have the identical dream much like my very own to find out whole lot more regarding this condition. I believe there are millions of more pleasant situations ahead for folks who browse through your site.

It was so remarkably generous with you to allow without restraint what exactly most people would've offered as an ebook to earn some bucks on their own, specifically seeing that you might well have done it in the event you desired.
