Fundraising – I need help!
I’ve thought about this for a long time and I’ve finally set up a Give Send Go campaign to get a ‘little free library’ for the town of Nairn. These little free libraries are all over the world and are a way for a community to share books – all ages and all for free!…

Did this man do the right thing?
I’m not sure if this link will work but I came across this and wanted to share it with you. There was a man who was waiting for a bus, at a bus stop as you would expect. Apparently the driver went past him without stopping so this is what he did. Some have called…

A Momentous Occasion
Just a quick post today but I had to let you know something very special happened today which I have been waiting several years for: Lazarus has given us a cucumber! If you’ve been following the saga you will know I have waited years for this to happen, due to one disaster or another –…

Could we just be honest about this please?
In the UK many of us have adopted the term ‘home-maker’ as we didn’t like being referred to as a ‘house-wife’. I didn’t marry a house. However, this new term makes everything sound so lovely. I feel like I should be wearing some sort of flowing, cotton dress which is obviously patterned with perfect strawberries,…

SILENCE

A modern day extravagance A dream so many hold, to sit and appreciate silence and ponder on times new and old. A state one dreams of achieving, a situation so seldom found. To let thoughts form…

Petrol-head heaven – Wheels of Nairn 2024
Saturday 21st Sep saw the annual Wheels of Nairn taking place for 2024. A place for owners of fantastic cars and motorbikes to show their vehicles as well as various stalls and of course, the local pipe band. I took many many photos so I’ll try and narrow it down. The weather wasn’t as good…

No Idea
I had no idea what I was going to tell you about today except I wanted it to be something cheerful for the weekend. I am still struggling with shoulder and neck pain although it has improved a little but the back must have been feeling left out and tried it’s best to join in!…

The unexpected
I wasn’t sure what to expect today but I had plans for lots of things to get done – but they didn’t. Before I even got out of bed, I felt the ‘ping’ in my left shoulder, around the shoulder blade and up towards the neck. I know what that means: Don’t expect to be…

*FREE* Menu Plan Printable for October!
Guess who’s been playing on Canva again! I was actually looking for something home-school related but it took me to Canva and I thought ‘hold on, I wonder if could make one of these?’ So for a bit of fun, I came up with a printable for the month of October to help with meal…

Sometimes the internet is useless
I keep getting told we can find out ‘anything’ on the internet. It turns out I can’t. I’ve been trying to sort out a few things recently which have needed internet sleuthing to get to some sort of answer – the latest one being how to get a wireless mic to work with my mobile.…

Attempting to heat a polytunnel + an Autumn garden
I was thinking the plants in the polytunnel might be getting a bit cold since the daily temperatures have plummeted around here. I know people often use fancy greenhouse heaters but I don’t have one and I didn’t want to risk anything that would burn it down so soon after I actually got it put…
