No. Stop that right now…NO! I have about 5 or 6 or more huge…HUGE hazel trees in the garden and today I’ve been part-coppicing – as in cutting hazel whips. Why? I’m weaving an arch for my flowering sweet peas and the whips are thin and pliable and be bent and tied. Into arches. It’s […]

I know him as Caradoc – his Welsh name. Does ANY of this lesson make any sense to y’all? And his son Linus supposedly became the first Bishop of Rome. Caradoc was a FREEDOM Fighter (?) who got caught. Silly Briton, How Dare He ? There is a link here with Shakespeare. Cymbeline? And the […]

Ex-squeezy moi but… This place is NOT a drive-thru, eat-all-you-can, Soup Kitchen, Supersize me joint. I am SO VERY done with the Freeloaders who can walk in, take a MASSIVE serving of GB food for FREE and then make a channel, money, reputation from MY years of work. Y’all’ll just grow FAT and STUPID and […]

Sheesh. How many decades/centuries have we had to wait for this WEATHER Report? Men? With Fully Working Parts? BTW : I’ve worked out who has bits and who has parts now. Who can actually speak their own minds without being told what to say by A N Other? Without make-up and a sequinned ball gown […]

THE BOOK and the church have never been a major focus of my life. I don’t do either. BUT – both come to me in a thousand different ways. My most loved Essential Oils are Frankincense, Myrrh and Spikenard. I have a life-long love of churches and cathedrals. There are books too. I’m still re-reading […]

One quarter of my “veg patch” has got a David Austin Harlow Carr rose in that has gone totally mental and wild. She’s taking over EVERYTHING. So, earlier, I girded my loins, advanced with my trusty secateurs and gauntlets to teach her a lesson in growing neat and tidy. Then I ran away. Harlow Carr […]

Little Britain The voice over of Little Britain is done by Tom Baker, who was once Doctor Who. Bear with me here. Please. BFF & I went to stay in her cousin’s house in London for a few days. Said cousin is married to an actor. One of said actor’s best friends is Lloyd Owen […]

Peter Kay is a chubby Irish Catholic Yorkshire man. His accent is quite unique and may need subtitles. But comedy transcends all that rubbish.

I can laugh at this because there isn’t a thing here that I (ME) hasn’t experienced in real life. 13 for Christmas Dinner. And a huge fight about which four of us would have to sit on a tiny chair with a table leg between our own legs. I’ve bought about 33 million pens in […]

I’ve finished planting out my petit pois pea plants today. Being slightly short of supplies, I used the old adage “Necessity is the Mother of Invention” and placed the pea trough by a bare bit of the privet hedge. The twiggy branches are all ready there for support (!) As this was happening I thought […]

I LOVE this series. Part One is funny for the mildly manic like me. Adam is the world famous *American” stage magician for whom JC creates illusions. Adam is totally flummoxed when his older Scottish sister turns up at his home and destroys his street cred! Adam introduces Maddy and Jonathon to Hewie Harper, a […]

Me & My big mouth. I’ve planted about 15 Giant Russian Sunflower Seeds. We pay money for Wild Bird Seed which contains Sunflower seeds. I (stupidly) challenged the fam to name and claim a Sunflower Seed and see whose grew bigger. We can feed the birdies with these seeds when they’ve done flowering. Dumb is […]
