Catching up in pictures
My blogging habit has slipped of late which is something I’m trying to fix, again. So in an effort to catch us up with what’s been happening on my side, I found a whole lot of pictures I haven’t shown you yet. I am acutely aware my storage limit is drawing near so I’ll need…

Blog or Website?
I’m confused again. This thought has been swirling round my head for some time so I think the time has come for me to bring it to you to sort out. If you are reading this, the chances are, you have a blog. Lots of us have a blog. We share our thoughts, our photos,…

Sunshine Blogger Award!
This is a new experience for me. Well well well. It turns out I’ve been nominated for this by a lovely fellow blogger who I love talking to and sharing ideas with. Laura’s blog ‘Black Moon Lilith’ can be found here. Her art, poetry and views on life are always inspirational so I’d like to…

Overwhelming Kindness
I recently had a bit of a situation as some of you will be aware, and yes it was of my own making. I will also admit that I took a bit of a confidence hit with it too. I let stress overwhelm me and made some very big mistakes because of it. But it…

I am an idiot
I’ll try to keep this brief if you keep your laughing at me to a minimum! Had a bit of a stressful night last night. We were hit by storm Eowyn or whatever it was called. I was worried about my polytunnel and the fence and I was right to be. The polytunnel held firm,…

Hello 2025
I had planned to do the writing challenge for the start of the year but I found I just couldn’t get it started. It has made me realise why I don’t really look back in time and get all reflective. I know we are supposed to reflect and take time to think about what has…

Big Fail
There are some things I just can’t do. After reading about Laura’s post being stolen I think a lot of us have become more aware of the need to put some sort of official copyright on our posts – something I’d never done previously. So, on Friday morning, I set out to do just that.…

A mixed weekend of progress, rain and gardening (plus some blog news)
At the beginning of the weekend, I didn’t think I would be getting much done. We did get a thunder storm on Friday afternoon and I was sure that was to set the tone for the next few days. I wasn’t far wrong! Some indoor jobs were necessary so I was pleased to get the…

It’s the Blog Anniversary!!
Do you say ‘Happy Anniversary’ to a blog? I knew the date was fast approaching so I checked the blog list and sure enough, it was exactly one year ago today that I started this ole blog and put up my first post. Doesn’t time fly? At first, I put up a lot of older…

Garden Visitors
Spending time with the bees and butterflies in the garden. I wanted to round this week off by sharing a couple of snaps I got today when I was in the front garden. I’ve done a lot of pruning of trees there and haven’t been able to get to the branches to cut them down…

Is it difficult or am I just dim?
The headline of today’s post will let you know I’ve tried to do something and failed miserably, again. I have mentioned once or twice before that I am not a technically minded specimen. I like what some of it can do but I have to accept the fact it won’t be doing anything I tell…

Baking our own goodies!
Our holiday week continues and we decided we would take some time to bake a little something. After a brief discussion with Dearest Son, who is the main baking taster in the house, we decided to make the sourdough snickerdoodles which I’ve done a couple of times in the past. I use the recipe from…
