Forever Enduring Cycles was my second blog, written between November 2015 and January 2016. It documents my recovery from a Bipolar Relapse and the final few months living in Britain, before our departure for Spain. They were difficult times for me and I have only now started to reread my blog entries from this time. Looking back at a period I would rather forget is hard; as I read through the entries, I hope to assess their validity and connect the words, with my life today, in a reboot of Forever Enduring Cycles!

​It is truly shocking, what Mans inhumanity to Man can cause.  Nothing ceases to amaze me, but the attacks in Paris were absolutely, beyond a shadow of a doubt, the most disturbing and upsetting news, I had heard in a long time,

​Jason and I sort of adopted France as a second home in the late 1990s, when we bought a small house in a village called, Le Lande St Simeon, in Swiss Normande.

The French people are the most welcoming in the world and they were always happy to help.

​When I heard the news, I shed a tear or two, I don't mind telling you.  Not only tears for France and its people, but also for more lives that will be lost through France declaring War,


Sadly, it is something France had to do,  Sometimes, as heartfelt as it is, war is something that has to be fought to save the world from something, much much worse.

Religion can be a terrible thing and when a group of fanatics hijack it, it is time to change everything we ever thought about the nature of it!

Vive La France

Much love to the people of France and the families who lost love ones, from everyone here at Gay Capri and foreverenduringcycles. x

Peace and Love Always!

​Reflections - 31 October 2017

​I have always had a keen interest in current affairs and politics, which is why I frequently include references to events of national and international importance in my blogs; I am a political animal, it is part of me, it makes me tick! Forever Enduring Cycles, like Spanish Views is a diary, referencing personal thoughts and feelings during difficult or important times in my life, as such, I include as much about me and my interests as I can. I have my own views and wish to get those across to the wider audience; it is my journalistic nature. Forever Enduring Cycles has many references to events that are shaping our World, this was the first!

​Terrorism and the threat of violence  has been a harsh fact of life for the year and half, since I started writing my second blog. This attack in France was the beginning of events that have included horrific assaults in Manchester, London and my adopted country of Spain. My own thoughts on these tragedies are well known; I often lay awake at night thinking about the state of the World, it has a big impact on my life!

As a blogger I understand the importance of making ones voice heard. Getting a message across can not only be rewarding, but also important, at pivotable times. Obviously no one is going to take any notice of lil ol me, but that isn't the point. Freedom of expression is necessary for my own well being and sense of character. If I didn't speak out, then I would not be the person, I believe I am. I have a set of morals, speak the truth as I see it and will always voice my opinion, as all of us should! Blogging is about talking, sparking debate and focusing on issues of personal significance. Forever Enduring Cycles documented my life, outside influences, governing my thoughts and the events that shaped who I am, Spanish Views continue that process!
