Giddy Plus Stressed

Or vice versa. When I get to that point just beyond stressed, I clean. Like a maniac on uppers! No idea why. Shrug. Our (10 years ago) renovated kitchen is all Fired Earth. Table. Chairs. Cupboards. Tiles. Units. I blame their shop in Winchester. And my need for an Unfitted kitchen where I could move […]

Wit’s End

I am at my wit’s end. My beautiful dog is suffering but we have not got the funds to get him to the vet. And I’m losing the one true love of my life through my own stupidity. I can’t do what I want to do nor say what I want to say.

I Am Missing a STAR!

My home is Grade II Listed – without the star. My advice…unless you have gazillions in the bank and Cast Iron balls…NEVER, EVER try to renovate a Listed Building in the UK. Years ago we spent £900 times 4 to have Official Bat Surveys done here. The only thing ever found was a, one, one […]

As Above, So Below : Theory

I have this overwhelming need to disentangle the oft quoted saying – As Above, So Below. But it’s doing my head in because sometimes numbers DO LIE! It all depends on the source. My little theory is that the ABOVE is not only reflected here below, but also below the below. I’m so enmeshed in […]

Numbers Can’t Lie

I have lived in the area above twice. Two years each time. So these buildings/monuments became very familiar to me. Apart from Clearbury, that is. I never went there. Every time I see the numbers that show the placings of certain structures, it always blows me away. Once or twice might be just coincidence but…time […]

Picture This

I left home a month and a bit after my 17th birthday to earn mine own living. Within a couple of months, my parents moved home! They took my younger brothers out of our school and threw them into another school. They “earned their keep” by working on the land at weekends picking sprouts and […]

I Don’t Understand Everything : But That’s MY Problem!

I do the history, esoteric, arty farty crafty, poetry, mythology, foody stuff. Maths and Science hurt my poor beleaguered girly brain! I do love peaches though. When they are fully ripe and juicy and not socially acceptable to be eaten in public if y’all care about such things. I adore apples too. ‘Specially the ones […]
