I’m in the middle of engraving a slate roof tile that we salvaged from the stable restoration. It’s lasted almost 200 years already. Hopefully it will last many more :o)

What’s The Story Ipomoea?

Ipomoea : (A Wexford Case) Ruth Rendell. Roxane’s shoes. The leaf was not from a wild plant but from the cultivated climber Ipomoea rubro-caerulea, the Morning Glory. I’m in Distraction Action here !

John Inman : I’m Free

The first time that I stayed in the Savoy Hotel was with my brother’s gorgeous wife. Their daughter was about a year old. Niece-y is now 17. Wh-aaaa-t? Anyhoo.

This Is My Message To You-ooh-ooh

Pheeling Philosophical!

Whichever way I look at it. Whichever way I try to avoid it. The uncomfortable truth is that by Monday our beloved dog will no longer be with us. We have had 12 amazing years with the gorgeous creature. And I will be forever grateful for that. He is now half paralysed and today is […]
