“Run from what’s comfortable. Forget safety. Live where you fear to live. Destroy your reputation. Be notorious. I have tried prudent planning long enough. From now on I’ll be mad.”
Honestly. After half an hour under the GLORIOUS midday sun, mending a fence and planting stuff…I had to beat the retreat inside our cool house. Scorchio in Lincolnshire? Blue sky? Hot Yellow Shiny thing up there? I melted. But it didn’t make me unresponsive. OMG – Look at the state of you. All red in […]
I went to see my lovely man in the local newsagents at early doors this morning to buy a gardening magazine. I always buy the cheapest one…with the free seeds giveaway. Oops. I did the L.O.L. in public AGAIN :o( Carnavale di Venezia aka Convolvulus aka Morning Glory. It grows to between 6 and 7 […]
Did this in 2019. GB: 26th of December 2019 Carly Simon I even used a Romeo and Juliet quote for the image on this post. Check it out and call me a liar…AGAIN! So many many months and years later. Carly Simon. The Spy Who Loved Me. Written by Ian Fleming who was a really […]

I’m slightly bamboozled. Himself walked into the kitchen, where I was cooking the lasagne, and announced (proudly) that he was watching one of my FAVE TV shows in the front room. Three guesses. Lovejoy? Nope. Sherlock? Nope. Poirot? Nope. He was watching a Rosemary and Thyme episode. BTW – He #hates all the above. And […]
Melissa West is Everywhere. She has a shop on ETSY. So do I but I don’t promote it free of charge via her fave ytuber…that one on ALERT. She has a husband (?) in the Marines – like my Dad and my brother. She has a Policeperson brother – like my Dad and my brother […]
I called this years ago. But IT gave me NO quarter and, to this very day, gives me NO pleasure. When people fall in love with the Dark Side. They tend to stay there for the free treats and the ego boosts. Y’all can’t check this because IT no longer exists under that name. IT […]
Oops. Even the Saturday Market plant man thinks I’m totally crazy now. Why? I’ve been cutting hazel whips to weave arches for the garden and they need climbing plants to grow all over them. So… Saturday Man had loads of Clematis plants and I spotted one, laughed out loud and bought it (!) Pointless to […]
Every single room in our house has a fireplace therefore a chimney…apart from the bathrooms which are partitions of bigger rooms. Even the attic has the most beautiful original Victorian fire grate in situ. I actually won a knowledge contest today! All but one of the chimneys are now blocked but we seem to have […]
