Rainwater

OK. I GET it. But the only time I’ve drunk/drank/drinked rainwater is when I’ve been out in the pouring rain and opened my gob (?Rewind!) But I DO KNOW from 1st hand experience that it’s the best water to wash your hair with. As a youngster, living with Nan and Grandad we’d do the hairwash […]

Medlar vs Meddler : The Original Goodly Rotten Apple?

Sunday, 3 May 2020, 12:59.Reading time 1 minute.

This is a fruit that I’ve come across MANY times in my historical research so I know a little bit about it. This is why I’ve always wanted to …taste…and grow medlars. I know that it has to be eaten rotten or bletted. Which – strangely – means that it goes rotten and the ripens […]

In case you didn’t know. Sheesh. From the year dot. I’ve loved this genre. IF I ever get the time & chance – I’m gonna write one. Just like but maybe different to M&W and it’ll be called…. Murder at the Grange :o)

REIKI

More than 20 years ago I went to get treatment from a very young and amazing Reiki healer. 3 sessions over 3 weeks. An hour each time. Time #1 – Me being ME – after the session had finished and she started talking to me. I struggled to wake up. My first words to her […]

When times are hard, I have a handful of failsafes. Morecambe and Wise are one. The Legend of Robin Hood as told by M&W. In Deux parts :o)

Not only is it my youngest son’s birthday (Happy Beltane) It’s also Friday. POETS Day. Have I done Edmund Spenser before? Whatev’s. I have the book Faerie Queene. It’s HUGE. That’s not a poem. That’s a magnus magnusson opus that I struggle with many times. Just give me another 100 years and I might finish […]

WHAT’s With This Food Vibe?

Friday, 1 May 2020, 11:53.Reading time 1 minute.

I know exactly where my heart and soul lie but… …my eating preferences come from locations more south and east. I LOVE and ADORE the Mediterranean/Middle Eastern way of dining. Fast food is anathema to me. Give me a bunch of great friends. A huge table set up outdoors. Tapas/Mezze/Buffet/Barbeque/Picnic/Help Yourself Style. A glass or […]

Gazpacho

I first had homemade gazpacho in Spain when I was 17. And loved it. But that one was very garlicky and had ice cubes in. I’m kind of liking this recipe too. I saw it when first shown on TV but had forgotten – until just now :o) P.S. I’m not, in any way, shape […]
