The Start of Something New...

... yes, I did just use HSM for inspiration for my title *facepalm*

Anyway, hey everyone, long time, no see! ... Well, speak lol.

Since it's been so long, and lots of things have changed, I've decided to start a fresh with my blogging - coincidentally on New Year's Day - so welcome to the new (and hopefully improved somewhat) blog, and to any potential new followers who missed out on my previous blogs! I thought I'd use this first post to properly explain the reasoning behind this change and to assure you that yes, it is still me, that crazy girl Lucy who was once a Demelza Teen. Which brings me to the main reason for the blogging switcharoo...

As some of you may remember, I used to volunteer for Demelza Hospice Care for Children - a respite service I myself used to access - for my college course and was "blogily" christened Demelza Teen. That was four years ago now!! Having finished college two years after, and my position not fitting academically with my Uni course, I left the Marketing and Communications team and let my volunteer registration expire. I did, however, continue blogging as Demelza Teen for a while after this.

Though I no longer volunteer, I am now part of the transition team and hoping to start up a transition mentoring scheme in the not too distant future. But, even more basically than this, I'm no longer a "teen" either! So, really, the name "Demelza Teen" no longer works - I'm 23 and am not blogging for them anymore. Yes, I still attend transition meetings, but personally I feel that I can have a lot more (grown up) freedom with the topics I cover in my blog if it's no longer affiliated directly with a Children's Hospice...

Wouldn't want to get myself into trouble now would I.. ;)

Speaking of Uni, I've just finished my first term in my third year on the Counselling, Coaching and Mentoring course and, quite honestly, I have no idea where those first two years have gone?! See... told you a lot has changed, and this is just the start!

I'm also firmly settled into my new adult respite place - Jacksplace, some of you may remember me mention it before - so I thought it would be a little wrong to be talking more and more about Jacks and less and less about Demelza, still being named Demelza Teen.

I'm absolutely bursting with excitement right now, excitement to start afresh with my blogging and once again give you all a little insight into my crazy world! ... But I've rambled on enough for now haha.

So, as I once used to say, speak to you sometime lovelies x

Wench Wars: Disney Villains

1, 2, 3, 4, I declare a WENCH WAR!! So, during a recent perusal of Twitland, I came across a blog post from a good friend of mine, Carrie ( Life on the Slow Lane ), regarding her top 5 actors. So I asked her about it. She said she'd recently had the privilege of being let loose on another blogger friend of hers, Mitch's ( twodoughnuts ), page to educate the world on her top 5 songs. Naturally, this didn't end too well and resulted in her choices being slated upon Mitch's return lol. However, something good did come of it - Blog Wars! So now Carrie and Mitch are warring it out via blog, challenging each other at their top 5s. It's actually quite funny! So, needless to say, I wanted in... But rather than me joining a feud with someone I don't even know, Carrie has gallantly agreed to take on a second separate challenge. Behold, Wench Wars! And to start this new battle of the wenches, what better than Disney? Although, ther...

Once Upon A Time, there was a series...

I finished Once Upon A Time Monday afternoon (18th June 2018) and totally lost it, I was an absolute mess!!! Not just because of the plot of the final episode - although that in itself was enough to have me bawling my eyes out - but because it was just that, the final episode! It's a very rare thing to find a series that touches you so deeply, so wonderfully, so eternally. Every single character was so divinely and uniquely portrayed, and the intertwining of their stories was never predictable or boring - they always kept me guessing! And where so many series’ have failed over the years, Once succeeded profusely to capture my heart for the long haul; I was never bored, never uninterested, never wishing they’d “get to the point already”, I was just totally and utterly enthralled throughout its entirety. For those of you who haven't seen it (and I can't stress highly enough how much you should!!), Once Upon A Time is, in a nutshell, a crossover series of f...

Wench Wars: Lockdown Playlist

1, 2, 3, 4, I declare a WENCH WAR!!! Yes, you read right, the long-awaited battle of the wenches has finally returned!! Whilst both myself and Carrie  have been in regular contact since our first disagreement , we regrettably have lacked the time (and, in my case at least, the inspiration) to continue our feud... that is, until now! It may have taken a global pandemic to whip our arses into gear but here we are, throwing down the gauntlets once again for round two. So prepare for... Top 5 Lockdown Songs! 5. We'll Meet Again - Khalysis (2020) So I thought I'd kick things off with the most recent of my top 5 - and by "most recent", I mean it was literally released last week as a VE Day tribute (lest we forget). Whilst Dame Vera Lynn will always be a National treasure, I thought I'd bring her amazing words into the 21st century with this modern remix. The lyrics which helped many people through the trials of the Second World War still ring t...
