How's that for dedication? 😜
I Will miss you all, but see you on Saturday.💪🌊🏋️🏋️‍♀️

What do you reckon the sign🚫 ahead says in the photo taken?
It's barely visible and one of many I have, or have not seen should I say?
So many of the road signs🚫in and around the town, covered by hedges and trees and many with important info for drivers that need to be seen especially by those not familiar with the roads around the area!😯
Back to today in the Bay, the sky was just amazing again today.
I find the mixture of clouds incredible and when I am in the sea🌊and looking out at them they just take my mind somewhere else.
I am usually mentally focused on my routines, on the tides, my particular markers, the wind direction and thoughts about life among others, so it's lovely when something as simple as a change in cloud formation just brings you back to earth!
Classes tomorrow as normal.
9.30am, 11am and 6.pm.
See you then.
Enjoy your evening and take care.xx❤️

Wow, wow wow, would you believe I completely forgot about our 3rd Anniversary for our Aqua class on June 7th 🤔 I do believe, with all the changes that have been happening I completely forgot.
So belated Happy 3rd anniversary to my AQUA classes.🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
🤮🙋😡🙋😡🙋😡🙋🤮
Wow a real mist over the sea for yesterday's Aqua class, we couldn't see very far out at all, cloudy and grey, but clear enough to see how dirty the water was, that dull muddy water 🤮yuk!
This morning was so still and I went out early and got into the sea before the prom walk got busy, so you could have heard a pin drop as there was no wind although it was picking up as I got out, but I was then happily heading home and it was busy by then.🚶‍♂️🚶‍♀️🚶👣
Would you believe there was a white baby egret 🦅 just sitting on the groin nearest the slipway, amazing.🤫
Enjoy your day everyone.
There will be an Aqua🌊 class this Wednesday but maybe a change to the Saturday park class 💪💪💪as I as Phillip has an appointment at the hospital and I always go with him and nothing about that will change unless I stop breathing.🫁
A photo of My lovely mummy who just arrived after walking🚶‍♀️👣 over to me for lunch, having a little Tequila Rose Strawberry Cream liqueur 🥃before her hot whisky with lemon🍋 and cloves.
Enjoy your music🎸🎷🎺 in the park🏞️, if you are going.💃🕺🩰
Lots of love and stay safe. xx❤️

👋👋👋👋
What a beautiful morning for the sea this morning, the sea was like glass, it was so still and quiet, I in at 9.25am and back out at 10.20am, forgot to look at my watch,⌚I was just enjoying the moment and working hard.
Tough Dumb Bell AQUA yesterday morning after a very tough body conditioning class💪 in the park. 🏞️
Well done to everyone at all classes this week as they were toughies😄 but you are always up for the challenges, after all isn't that what life is all about🤷
🌊💪🌊💪🌊💪🌊💪🌊💪
High guys I think this is the video for neck and shoulders from our Covid classes that you have been requesting for those of you who can't get to class.
Remember just scroll through past the chat at the beginning as I am definitely not going back to doctor anything🤗
Like it says on my YouTube page

Remember, follow your safety points and as always hope they help.🙋

Hi guys,
Someone asked me for the videos I put up during COVID when you were missing your classes.
Remember we were all new to what's app and YouTube, 🤗 well no, I was completely new to WhatsApp and I think most of you were all on some sort of groups.😱
My page in until COVID was really only ever used for messages regarding class time change or to answer a query someone had!🙂
I know I put a pile up so heres one of the classes for backs.
I was making the videos everyday as if I was still taking my classes, everyone was so worried about not being able to get to the classes after lockdown down😰
I haven't taken out my chats pre class, so you can just scroll through the beginning of each one.
I think there is a video for flexibility, upper body, neck and shoulders, aerobics, +.
I think I was still working them as hard even though we were in lockdown.🤣
You can find the rest of classes etc on YouTube at
Carolines fitness like it is.
I think I stopped after 51, let me know and I can release some more if you want.
Good luck and remember listen to your teaching and safety points as always!🤗
I hope they may help.
Take care.xx🫂❤️

Hi everyone 👋👋👋Hope you are all well.
Popped up to Belfast for some out time with my best travel companion Phillip Sacramento: The N.I. Voice Guy and decided to go catch a few movies at Cineworld🙂 we saw A Quiet Place: Chapter 1 which was excellent, it covered a spectrum of emotions,had a good storyline and yes I really enjoyed it.
We had time to pop downstairs to Zizzi's for lunch before our next Movie ' Longlegs '.
Personally I think the restaurant is good for pasta and pizza's but pizza base a little too thick for me as I love a thin base.
We had the fondue but apart from the mozzarella balls there was too much bread🙄.
The Aubergine 🍆 chips were very greasy and more bread cut in wedge shapes £17, I had prawns which I love but not for me.
£10.50 for an Aperol spritz🤷 which I was going to have, but I opted for a Mojito, they only did a strawberry one but they offered to do me a classic Mojito, unfortunately they had no sugar syrup and no limes🍋 and by the taste they had no alcohol either and unfortunately once again my mint leaves had black mould marks on the leaves!😡
Arrived back in time just for the start of ' Longlegs ' Nicolas Cage played an interesting character, it was ok but sort of lost it's thread a little.
However we had a lovely afternoon and sat along the Lagan. at the Titanic Quarter and played travel Scrabble, the 🌞 was up and it was quiet and peaceful.
We headed back for our train🚉 and noticed that all the shops were closing, the only places in the city that were still open were the bars and a few restaurants.🙄
It was like a ghost town and that was around 6pm.
On arriving back in Bangor we stopped at the Ice Cream hut at the Ava where we availed of some of their whipped ice creams and I wanted to bring one back to my lovely mummy.
I think it's the only place in the The City of Bangor, its past, present and future. that now does proper whipped ice cream in an old fashioned cone🤗, can't beat a good ice cream in a cone.🍦
I was back in the city early this morning on my own and popped into a popular High Street store where the cashier told me that he didn't thing their store would be there for very long as, the city was dead with shops closing every week!😡
It's quite sad to see a city that could be so busy, as there are lots of tourists around but the city centre is Definitely not in good shape.🤷
I passed a homeless person this morning lying up on a bench on Joys Lane, he was sound asleep and lying on his stomach, so vulnerable, so along and so sad, it brought tears to my eyes as I looked down at him.
Enjoy your evening guys and take care.👋
See you tomorrow.xx🫂❤️

Hello 👋👋👋👋
I hope you are enjoying your weekend, I kept thinking everyday was Sunday, it was so quiet.🤫
Well that's another week done and well done 👏👏👏to everyone in the hall, 💒, in the park, 🏞️ and in the sea .🏞️
The weeks just seem to fly by🤷.
The sea was soooo beautiful this morning, it was still and looked like ice🙏.
Our 12.30pm class in the morning will be at 12.15 pm.
Lily...check photos...just texted me to say
" after that workout it was hard going, 😰 I needed to lie down" 😂
Enjoy your evening and see you👀 tomorrow. xx💪

Hi everyone 👋 👋 👋
I hope you enjoyed that glorious weather.🤗
There was an amazing sky last night at sunset, dark lenticular clouds that resembled UFO's and dark Contrail clouds.
It just looked amazing🤗
As I headed off to bed around midnight.....I always look out at the sky.....I could see the burning embers and flames 🔥🔥high above the buildings, way out in the distance just as the wind🌬️ changed direction.
Can you believe another week nearly at an end.🤷
See you tomorrow!
Take care and have a good evening 🌆.
❤️❤️❤️❤️

Hello 👋
I have had quite a lot of texts about classes this week and yes your classes are on this week as normal.🌊💪💃🏋️‍♀️🏋️‍♂️
If I have names for Wed Aqua class at 6pm I will take one, if not No class.
Will let you know on Tuesday evening about AQUA otherwise all classes as normal.
Some of you have asked me about the movie📽️ I saw on Friday, mentioned in my last message with Tom Hardy and Jodie Comer among others, it is called The Bikeriders🛵 in cinemas now, as they say and it is a true story and a great watch, a little tough at times but great storyline.
The sea was lovely this morning, back to make dinner and now just listening to the music in the park🎸🎺🎶.
A little too much delving into those ice boxes and back packs.🤗
I hope you are all enjoying it, I have my eyes on you 👀.
I can see you but you can't see me!🤣🤣
The rain held off rightly.💦💦
Take care and see you in the morning 🌅, I have an airport run but will see you at 12.30pm.
Lots of love ❤️ xx

🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋
What can I say, it's all in a week's work! 🤗
What an amazing downpour of rain 🌧️ as I was teaching our 11am class on Thursday morning 😱 it just pounded down on the roof of the hall, it was just amazing, noisy and so heavy, I loved it.🙂
We had the company of a beautiful seal 🦭that swam around our Wednesday evening class and just as we finished it just lifted its head and looked towards us as if to say, oh you're not going are you, 🙂 or that's what I feel it was saying.
It was unusual that evening as it very calmly swam along the top of the water and circled the class, normally they just stay under and pop their heads up every now and again.🦭
We felt very lucky to be so close to it. 🤗
On a different note I went out with Phillip yesterday for the day as we love spending time together when we have it, he was doing his Lidl voice work early morning so we headed out when he was done.
We brunched at La Creperie in St George's Market which we love, then headed off to the Odeon to see a great movie starring Tom Hardy, Jodie Comer and quite a few other well known actors which was excellent, a true story.📽️
We stopped off on the way home as I love a GOOD
Mojito....I say good meaning one with all it's ingredients in it, so rum, lime, sugar syrup, sparkling water some use sprite, clean mint leaves and ice...we passed a few bars and restaurants whose menus had cocktails.
I wasn't sure whether I should stop to have one as I have been disappointed with ones I have been given before.🙆
I had one made for me.... but wait for it.....by a mixologist and I think it was the worst one yet.
It was missing the sugar syrup, was full of ice, had no flavour, I mentioned it when I was asked how it was, they did replace it but unfortunately they just made another one that wasn't any better.🙄
I have been given them with mint leaves that were full of mould and I mean black mint leaves, I have had them with no sugar syrup, no lime, and I am pretty sure no alcohol.🙄
It has sadly proven to be so difficult to get a decent one, I sort of just gave up.🤷
However a few weeks ago I recently had a Mango Mojito, I was a little reluctant initially when it was offered to me as I thought it would just have a lot of very sugary concentrated mango juice flavour 🤔 but I have to say it was amazing as it was clearly a fantastic Mojito with Mango, that clearly had a definitive flavour of mint as well.
It was amazing!👏👏👏
I had a classic one yesterday and was assured they did a good one, I have to say it wasn't the worst, lots of mint which I personally love, lacked sugar syrup or even a spoon of sugar.... even though that's not the same.... definitely had not even a hint of rum in it.
It was served in a pretty looking but massive pint sized cocktail glass🥂 but was full of large ice cubes in it , but it was a little better than some of the worst I have been given!
I have had bar staff tell me they could do me a great Mojitos but they have no mint!🤷.
A good Mojito 🍸🍹has a slight cloudy look to it, but I keep trying but as they are not cheap it puts me off even trying sometimes.🙄
It would be easier if I drank wine or prosecco I suppose, although I do like a good Tinto Verano 🤗 or a Smirnoff mango and passion fruit vodka, that always starts a holiday for me, it's funny as I keep a bottle in the house and have never opened it!😅
I hope you all have a lovely finish to your weekend.🙋
Look forward to seeing you next week.🙂
Take care and stay safe 🙏 ❤️

🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋.
What an amazing sunset a couple of nights ago, it didn't last very long, but it was just beautiful!🙆
Great Aqua🌊 class this evening, the sea was beautiful and incoming, it was sunny 🌞 to start, then it started to get very windy and clouded over ☁️, then the sun 🌞 came out again and by the time I arrived home it had started to rain 🌧️ then I looked👁️ out the window and saw a beautiful rainbow! 🌈
An amazing end to a busy day.
See you tomorrow, all being wel!.
Take care and stay safe.xx❤️

Hello everyone,👋👋👋
It seems like its been such a long time since I have spoken to those of you who check in to my posts, 🤗 and I have missed it!🤗
My ceiling fell down in the middle of the night a couple of weeks back which was quite a shock😯 as if it had been in the daytime on the other side of the lounge it could have killed either my mummy, Maurice or myself as that's were they would be sitting when mummy comes over everyday for her dinner. Then Monday week ago I was driving up the Belfast road and out under the bridge 🌉 , I am always very wary of the slip road down onto the carriageway as there are drivers who never wait at the staggered line to get onto the left hand lane if there are oncoming cars, they usually fly out and I really don't know where they expect the oncoming cars in the left hand lane to go, so I moved out to the other lane, right hand or overtaking lane.
I was very aware of the speed of 3 cars heading down the slip road but as I was in the outer lane I thought we were alright which we would have been, had this black car.... male driver, I could see him as he was so close......came off the slip road into the left hand lane and continued into my lane by cutting in right alongside me forcing me into the central reservation, I put my hand on the horn so hard, my heart was pounding, so many cars could see was happening and he just sped on up the carriageway, I just could not believe it!😱
I think I was almost in Hollywood before the shock wore off, especially as my wonderful son was in the passenger seat beside me, we could so easily have been seriously injured, as there was quite a lot of traffic around, if not killed.😱
I cannot tell you how angry 😡 I was.
Then later on the same day Maurice ... my husband was walking past the Heatherlea bakery when he was almost hit by a massive brick thrown from the roof by two young guys wearing hoodies, their faces were completely covered, they were throwing large bricks down trying to hit passers by.
A man ran across from the other side of the road as he was convinced Maurice had been hit.
Maurice told me if he had been hit, he would definitely have been seriously Injured, if not killed as these were not small stones, they were large bricks, he said the sound as it hit the ground just in front of him was shocking!
The two people just stood on the roof giving the finger sign to anyone looking up.
UPS estate agents said they had been up on the roof many times before, doing the same thing.
Apparently the police did arrest them later in the day in a different part of the town, where they were still up to no good, so
what can I tell you, it was just one thing after another.🤷
I guess you just never know the minute as they say!
My ceiling has now been brought down, plaster boarded and plastered and all done in one day, fantastic workers and his lovely son Luka
They came in on Thursday, as promised trestles up at 9am and were gone by 4 pm, non stop work and excellent.
Just great to get that done and out of the way!
So I guess, all is well that ends well🤗.
The end of the week just almost completed with a great class in the 🏞️ park this morning 🌄 and a after that a lovely morning 🌄 in the sea at our Caroline's Pilates, Aqua, Fitness and Life class.
The sea 🌊 was the furthest out I have seen it in a long time.🫣
It was so still and looked like glass, just so beautiful. 🌊
I saw some amazing clouds in the sky around midnight from my bedroom window on Thursday, looked amazing, you can see them in my photos.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend and stay safe.xx🫂❤️

Hi everyone,👋
🌊💪🌊💪🌊💪🌊💪
Remember AQUA This evening at 6pm.
This Movie, which Phillip Sacramento: The N.I. Voice Guy my son voices in, was written, animated and managed by one person, what an amazing amount of dedication and determination as it is not an easy feat to get to the end line!
It has just been announced that the film ' The World's Divide ' will be shown at the Galway film festival 🤗 on the 13th of July.🤗
Without a budget, this film has been solely funded out of pocket by the director and animator, Denver Jackson.
However, two years of hard work and no budget, they needed help in completing the last step of making this independent feature and they succeeded.
It is a wonderful story and beautiful animation and loved by all who helped bring it to film goers 🤗 amazing story
Just a fantastic achievement.
Congratulations to the hard work involved in all aspects of the film 🎥📽️, it's amazing and well done!
👏👏👏

The Worlds Divide A young girl from two worlds must choose to save one and sacrifice the other.

😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
OMG the sea was🌊 absolutely filthy this afternoon , I have to say it really was the dirtiest I have ever seen it and the smell of Surfers Against Sewage sewage was apparent as I was walking down to it before I was even at the slipway.
The water was brown, but all over the surface of the water was thick brown scum and not just on the way in , but right across the bay and about 20+ ft out.😩
Just couldn't get away from it!🤢
Only because I was so desperate to get in, I would have just gone back home.
The water coming out of the pipe into the sea was just rotten.🤢
Disgusting!!!! 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
I never have a shower post sea workout, but I just couldn't not have one when I got in.🧖🚿🛁
I hope it's better for class tomorrow morning 🌄

What a lovely evening 🌆for our Aqua🌊 class💪, best evening of the week as the weather forecast goes and time went so fast we had 50 minutes done 😯 before we realised 🤗.
Great job.👏👏👏
See you tomorrow 🫂❤️ xx
