Counts on it
Darkness. Always so dark. Enveloped in the mists of time. No steps are heard on the cobble floors, no laughter rings out across the large, empty rooms. Webs strewn like confetti at a wedding of the dead. The Castle sleeps. He sleeps. Waiting. Knowing. And as the Mother Moon reaches her heights his bloodshot eyes…

Beware Multi-Tasking!
It’s not the safe, time-saving method of productivity you thought and I can prove it. Tonight I thought I would start a sourdough loaf which I could finish in the morning. The problem was our kitchen was really cold and I needed the butter softened. I took it out of the fridge and continued with…

We got a trail camera!
Hubby was convinced we were getting a large visitor to the garden at night so I was determined to find out what was going on. I went shopping on Ebay and found a decent trail camera. It arrived a few days later and I opened it with the excitement of a child at Christmas. I…

Underwhelmed by our pumpkin picking adventure
We went to the Cawdor Pumpkin Patch but weren’t too impressed. Now before I dive in, I want to admit, I could be completely wrong. Maybe what we saw and experienced is what we were supposed to. Maybe our expectations were just a little too high. Maybe if Dearest Son was 3, it would have…

Autumnal skies on the plot
I also finally got the last of the garlic planted in the polytunnel. I am aware our clocks go back here in the UK, this weekend which is great for my sleep but not so great for my ability to get to the allotment during the week. As it is, we are racing the sunset…

We all need this at some point
I admit I’m taking a big risk with this one. If you don’t usually follow my YouTube channels, you won’t know I have done a few of what I call ‘Visual Poetry’. That’s to say, I take a poem I’ve written and put it to music with video. It’s a little creative itch I get…

Scotland was first again!
Did you know the first municipal fire service in the world was established in Edinburgh in 1824? In Edinburgh at the time, the wooden buildings were very close to each other which meant if there was a fire, it spread quickly. Some folk tried to be equipped at home by having fire buckets and if…

The Calm After the Storm
Storm Ashley came like an angry poltergeist, threw things around and was seemingly exorcised out of here. The noise of that wind last night was enough to make me go out, in my pyjamas, to check the polytunnel. I don’t know what time it was but it was wild. Of course Scooby came out with…

Apples
I had planned to do this post on apples earlier in the evening but as I’m typing I have to admit I’m a little concerned my new polytunnel won’t be there in the morning. Yes it’s getting windy, very windy. So to distract myself, let’s talk apples. I picked nearly all the apples off our…

Garlic Moon?!
Ok I’ve mixed two things I did together to come up with that title. We had a gorgeous, sunny and warm day here and I don’t care if it’s not ‘meant’ to be like that here in October – I’ll take it! I nipped into the new polytunnel in the garden and checked the temperature…
