  2. It was hard to branch out of my comfort zone when I was younger, but I've found that with each journey I've become stronger, more confident, and life has been full.

  3. You're thinking a lot about my ship at the moment hey! :) What colour you want your cabin to be? I'm getting pretty good. Tat already asked for pink glitter encrusted walls with a disco ball and a sparkly sequin floor ;)

  4. Bert, absolutely!

    Faye, you've hit the nail on the head. Breaking out of harbour is so good for us too.

    Katey.... hmm... I'm stuck between sunshine yellow and apricot. Yellow! Can't wait to see Tat's cabin!!! Uh... for that matter, I can't wait to see Tat's face when she sees the cabin lol

  6. I'm assuming it's this guy, Jeremy. It's one of the quotes I have saved from ages back. Actually, it comes as no surprise that you love it : )

  7. I just looked it up and it is John A. Shedd. The wording I had was slightly different, but one source notes that there are several variations of this quote, the most common being "A ship in harbour is safe - but that is not what ships are built for."

  13. Tssssk!! Puce clashes with the glitter walls!! I will be back later to superglue the sequin floor down so Tat doesn't get the urge to pick them all off and eat them ....
    PS : I don't know how to put up aurelian wallpaper ....

  14. Better not be superglue. Tat is an old hand at removing that stuff, from frequent encounters with sticking to herself ; )

    Anyone know how to put up aurelian wallpaper then?
