“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.”
Sometimes I astound myself! Oh. Done that one. This time it’s not a Good thing. How the Fluff did I miss the fact that the gorgeous Phil died in Salisbury? At Odstock Hospital? A place that I was Emergency called to via telephone one night at 3am to pick up a friend and neighbour after […]

I’m driving my family completely NUTS! As usual! I’ve got them utterly fascinated by these History Cold Cases. And – also – very irritated because I couldn’t put a name to the Narrator’s voice. Even though I KNEW that I Know that voice. Relief came yesterday about the narrator. Laurence Fox aka D.I. James Hathaway […]

My recent battle with a major online retailer (refund still pending) has, sort of, been a blessing in disguise. Part of my new research was prompted by the Wondrous work of a Bulgarian artist about whom I can find very little information. I have no idea if he still lives. If he still works. I […]

I love and adore MR as Miss Marple. There are only a few films – and Agatha Christie HATED them all. So does yt, btw!!! But, for me, Margaret bought a naughtiness, a devil-may-care lightness to the role that no one else has ever replicated. Margaret Rutherford, herself, was also an intriguing character :o)

When I was 20, I spent a week glamping/roughing it (?) just outside Stirling. Climbing mountains. Orienteering. Disco-Dancing. Being eaten alive by those pesky Highland midges!!!! Stirling is a beautiful place :o)

GB : 17th June 2019 I LOVE MY WORK :o) It gets more bizarre and surreal by the hour! Mum’s cousin, Janet, is a fabby amateur genealogist. She’s traced her and Mum’s Norfolk family back to the 1500’s. And one of the family names was DYER. As in they were cloth dyers ? Q – […]

I’m waiting for Dave, the postie to bring the two packages that I need to start on my new research project. So – I thought I’d spend the time being educated as I knit. OMG! I was watching this video below and when it got to the de-bunking part, I shouted “Russian Splice” at the […]

I find every part of this programme intriguing! Objective study has its place but it’s wonderful when we catch a glimpse of the “real” person behind the bones/history/story/name etc. The facial reconstruction expert, Caroline, has been on TV for many years.
