Welcome to our husband-and-wife mad ramblings about life, love, personal training (hubby is a qualified PT, and we are both Reiki Master Teachers), Reiki, humankind, society, interesting places, and anything else which comes to mind which we decide to bore you with!
Could be book reviews, movies, what kind of training to do if you train naturally, alternative therapies, music, rude people, spirituality, the paranormal, blah blah blah…
We are sometimes witty, sometimes dry, always honest, with the world as we see it. We hope to give you alternate sides of things – sometimes i’ll be writing, sometimes hubby. Our views dont always align, but that makes love more interesting, and educational.
We try to live our lives as honestly and authentically as possible, both with each other and other people – but we seem to encounter a lot of resistance to this from the outside world!
The UK seems to be less tolerant of Love, Honesty and beautiful energy than other countries, and so our aim is to leave the UK fairly shortly, firstly to travel the world (or at least the safer bits of it!), and then to find a new place to call home.
I shall be taking my beloved motorbike with us, because otherwise I won’t have anything to lean round corners, and Elf won’t have any place to sit and look pretty – er, I mean, admire the view. LOL
Update – the bike sadly for expense and practicality reasons, is going to be put in storage when we travel – Gulp! ![]()
We have found another means of getting around abroad – we have a Cunning Plan, which does not involve a Turnip!
(Readers not familiar with ‘Blackadder’ will have no clue what we’re on about, but it’s worth checking out if you fancy a giggle!)
If you would like to know all about our insane idea, which isn’t particularly cunning, then you can read the story here – The Mad Plan and also here – The Mad Plan Mileage
We will share our travel adventures on here too…when we get around to the actual travel bit (following copious amounts of planning and tearing our hair out) we will post weekly with stories and photographs covering places, people and events along the way.

That’s us in the photographs above and the silhouette is as good as it gets (for now!) – we won’t be posting pictures of ourselves on this blog as we both seem to attract stalkers (not because we’re gorgeous, but because people are pretty warped!) and we would like to remain alive and married for as long as possible.
For the same reason we shall be using silly nicknames chosen just for this blog – ReikiPixie is me, the wifey, and ReikiElf is hubby – or just Pixie and Elf when we need to refer to one another, and so you know who we are talking about and dont think we are just bonkers. (which we may be, but you can draw that conclusion and let us know!)
