You Don’t See This Every Day!
Same house, very different view Imagine looking out of your window on a Saturday morning and seeing this: They were doing some work on the electric substation up the lane. They started when they said they would, they were done by the time they said they would be. Just thought I’d share that with you!

Podcast developments!
I have had a very busy weekend and I think I can now say….drumroll please The Podcast now has it’s own YouTube channel! If you catch it on WordPress and you are happy with that, that’s fine but I made the change for a number of reasons: Originally, the podcast was going on my YouTube…

How 1 Sock Can Cause a Meltdown
This has been quite a difficult week – you may have noticed (or maybe you didn’t!) that I haven’t posted much this week. I have been trying so hard to keep on top of the house duties – sticking to my cleaning schedule, dealing with the laundry mountain which included getting the iron out several…

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,…

Babysitting a caterpillar!
The other week we spotted a fat green caterpillar crawling over the carpet upstairs, heading to Dearest Son’s room. At the time, we still had a lot of frost so I didn’t have the heart to put him outside. I grabbed the first thing I could get my hands on to put him in –…

Toilet (seat) trouble
The problem with replacing a toilet seat is……… Before I show you what I’ve been struggling with for the past 5 days, allow me to give a quick background – bear with me, it will be worth it! Just before Christmas, I told Hubby I wanted to changed the toilet seat – the one we…

Harvey and the Mandela Effect
This is a weird one. Just in case you aren’t aware, the ‘Mandela effect’ is a term which was invented to apply to things which people remember but didn’t actually happen. A false memory if you like. When I checked online, I found this definition: The Mandela Effect is a phenomenon where a large group of people collectively…

Over the weather and under it
Finally, we have started to defrost. I was beginning to wonder if I’d ever feel warm again – and I wasn’t the only one: I haven’t been able to get to the allotment for AGES. I can’t sow anything but this is the time of year to get the preparation done. I have paths to…

Bird Fail=Success!
Stick with me and this will all make sense. We are in the middle of some cold weather but tonight we are to expect as low as -10C (that’s 14F). I was looking out the window and saw some birds were trying to get what little seeds were left on the feeder so I thought…

Why my allotment gardening is on ice at the moment
I still have a lot of preparations to make on the allotment plot to get it ready for Spring. The Christmas period usually puts things on hold for a little while even though I keep seeing people on YouTube with their Boxing Day or New Year’s Day videos (I don’t know how they manage that).…

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…
