A WHITE FEATHER was NEVER presented to a man on the street by an angry woman. It was given by comrades-in-arms to a deserter/coward. This […]

My today started as normal chez moi. From 5:30 to 6:30 (when he got kicked outta the car) it was nit-pickyville. I TURNED nasty when told that our home was falling to pieces and a total disgrace. By 6:30, not only was I laughing, but he was too. I can do DRAMA very well :o) […]

I’m still getting over yesterday’s Disaster :o( We all ADORE homemade Rice Pudding. I love the nutmeg and, for choice, will put blackcurrant jam on it. Everyone else loves strawberry jam. Weirdos.

I’ve been sent back to Ancient Roman times to study this one! Yes. Well. I don’t, for a single minute, believe that the author of these 10 books was Augustus’ Town Planner way back when. I’d bet all the money I have (£5.45p) that this man was much nearer to the time of Leonardo da […]

HEARTBREAK HILL was a couple of minutes walk from our house. A long, steep incline that they had to run up. In full kit. Fully weaponed up. With himself standing at the top shouting encouragement and/or insults at them. My boys – aged 4 and 6 would run up that hill like sprites. Stand at […]
