I did a thing!

In May, my adorable lurcher, Skipper West, passed away. He was the most loyal and gentle companion. 🐾

So, to always remember him, I got my first tattoo!

Rest in peace, my sweet Skipper! 🕊️

Loved seeing these old buses overtaken by nature at a former school in the UK. 🚍🌿

The school closed in the early 2000s, and the site has gradually fallen into decline. 🏚️✨

Today, I visited Holy Cross Churchyard in Greenford just outside London and came across one of several gravestones with a skull and crossbones Memento Mori motif. 🪦

☠️ The skull and crossbones serve as a reminder of our mortality and the fleeting nature of life.

Memento Mori, Latin for ‘remember you must die’, has been a symbol of reflection since the Middle Ages, often found in religious art and tombstones to encourage piety and focus on the afterlife. ✝️

More to follow… 👻

Looking forward to taking you here one day, A lady called Johnna - I know you'll love it! 🖤

Just wanted to apologise for not posting much recently.

I've been struggling with my mental health after a tough and unexpected few months. But I’ve decided to move forward, break free, and seek some help.

Remember, you’re not alone - sometimes, the first step is just admitting we need to get out of our head.

Cheers to better times ahead! 🥂

Thanks so much for your support.

🫨🤯 The hardest prison to escape is your own mind…

⛓️

I'm currently struggling with my mental health after a tough and unexpected few months. But I’ve made the decision to move forward and break free from my mental cage.

⛓️

Sharing some of my favourite rooms from a former prison in the USA. Built in the 1950s and closed in 2011, this place has a haunting beauty that’s hard to ignore.

🚪 Step inside an eerie abandoned funeral home embalming room in South Carolina 🇺🇸

Back in the 1970s, this haunting site was added to the National Register of Historic Places. After serving the community for over a century, the Smith-Collins Funeral Home relocated across town, leaving the building vacant.

Severe storms took their toll, and insurance issues prevented repairs, leaving furniture and personal items behind in the hope of reopening – but that never happened.

In 2024, a new owner opened its doors for tours and paranormal investigations.✨

Dare to explore this chilling piece of history? 👻

🌟 Throwback to 1947! 🌟

The State Line Court in Tennga was a popular stop along US Highway 411, right at the Tennessee-Georgia line 🛣️

🍔🥤 With a bustling restaurant and store next door, it was the perfect respite for travellers before interstates changed the game.

🗺️ Did you know?

Tennga gets its name from merging ‘Tenn-‘ for Tennessee and ‘-ga’ for Georgia, reflecting its unique split along the border!

Fast forward to the early 70s; the motel, along with the restaurant and store, was closed 🛑

Today, the building is still used for storage by the son of the original owner, who we had the pleasure of chatting with on our visit! 💚
