There are a VERY few people that I Truly Envy. In the true meaning of the word ENVY : a feeling of discontented or resentful longing aroused by someone else’s possessions, qualities, or luck.

I have dyed wool and cotton using natural materials (tea, coffee, nettles, onion skins, walnuts, ink etc) after researching the history of dyeing right back to the Egyptians of one hundred thousand B.C. (!) Both trades used urine. Poop is dung is manure is compost. Our old […]
Although the scene was very different from the one below, me & she did the same kind of nonsense to a Royal Arab Prince in Abu Dhabi. Well. His Highness should NEVER have asked the board-meeting where they wanted to go and what they wanted to eat. I chose Italian and she chose a palace. […]
I’m having a Very Stupid day today :o( Amongst the cheap plants that I bought the other day in the clearance sale from the garden centre down the hill were two limp Artemisia dracunculus. I had no idea what they were but felt sorry for them. Aaah. Anyhoo : I’ve just learned the other names […]

Knights in Shining Armour…my behind! Knights in PPE saved me today. Long story. Car locked me out for no reason whatsoever. Sun blazing, me walking the nearly 2 miles home…mostly uphill, praying for a helping hand because I had ZERO idea what to do. Police? Pay for Emergency Vehicle Rescue? Cry? DahDahDaaaaah: around the corner […]

I was stressed and my brain froze. All I could do was smile and say The…The…Sorry. Forgot the name. But my […]
Please excuse my cuss word…ASTROLOGY! For the 33rd (?) time, I am Sagittarius Sun, Libra Moon, Virgo Rising and Venus in Scorpio. Which makes me everyone’s worst nightmare. FACT! By the way. I didn’t begin to learn astrology until a beautiful friend told me my placings when I was in my 20’s. Which means that […]
G Ramsay is one f/ugly man. G D’Acampo is freaking gorgeous. In my humble opinion. Here. At home we have 3 outta 4 who adore chorizo and 2 outta 4 who adore Avocado. Tequila is disgusting! WTF? You learn something new every single day. Caesar Salad was invented in Tijuana? I DID NOT KNOW that. […]
