Seen too many. Met too many. Know too many. Zero Respect from little old ME, Myself, I – for a Flintlock Cocked Sad AF :o(

Accents : Slavic/Scottish

Wednesday, 13 May 2020, 12:13.Reading time 1 minute.

If you’ve watched the video just posted about Baba Anujka (Grandmother Annie…I CANNOT make this up ! ) you might’ve noticed how easy it is for a Scot to pronounce Slavic names/words. Is there a link thereabouts? I’m very sad that my Scottish accent was ridiculed/mocked/bullied out of me by the time I was 8 […]

I knew she was amazing from the very first time I watched… …then she starts talking about Arthur Rackham art ? ? ? I all but swooned. Sigh. Yup. My figs and cherries have gone crazy. And if she wants sycamores…I’m pulling up at least 50 seedlings a day. Little barstewards are sprouting EVERYWHERE! P.S. […]

Ophelia’s Garden

Tuesday, 12 May 2020, 16:11.Reading time 2 minutes.

I’m planting in memory of Ophelia. A part of my garden will be dominated by Rosemary. Pansies are so very gorgeous. Sigh. Fennel I can take or leave as food – but the foliage is amazing. Columbine is my favourite name but I grew up calling them Granny’s Bonnet. Now they are Aquilegia. Whatever. Gorgeous. […]

Oooooh. I’ve already been THREATENED twice about having peacocks in MY garden! WTF? How? Why? When? Where? WHO? Well. That’s MY MIND MADE UP : so go FYS! I’m getting PEACOCKS :o) August at the earliest

Love/Hate Relationship

This is SO much like me and Tsar. My “groove” aka sofa gets regularly hijacked by a GSD. See above. The bed used to, too. But he’s too old now to take a running jump and spread-eagle, dead dog/can’t move me, over three quarters of MY sleeping place.

If you can…watch this Only Fools and Horses Episode. It’s a/an LOL. Denzil was in the Chemistry Lab when Del blew it up :o)

Malory Towers vs Hogwarts

Tuesday, 12 May 2020, 12:52.Reading time 1 minute.

Wiki : Malory Towers Where the fluff did that come from? Well. I was in the garden this morning, remembering my grandparents and how much they taught me about nature. And remembering the back bedroom. The single bed. The rag rug my Dad had made. And the little bookcase filled with Mum’s childhood books. Mostly […]

NO Going Back!

There are 3 airports that I once knew quite well. Dubai. Abu Dhabi. Doha. OK. 3 places I’ll never go back to. Whatever. Been there. Done that Vibe! P.S. I COMPLETELY understand now why our International Security Company (main office – Dubai) got GOT when it did. We were given a silver lining in a […]

A Major Decision Made!

I’m getting chickens! I haven’t done so before because we have foxes here and I can’t cope with the survival in nature thingy. But I’m going to have to learn. I have the space – the orchard with a dilapidated shed/des res – I have the time. I have the ability to learn. I’m surrounded […]

Yep. I’ve found a teacher. This summer I will be taking time out. I have 2 acres of Mother Earth to regenerate and food to grow for my family. Strawberries and new potatoes seem to be the most popular, right now. Go figure! Being a “fair-weather” gardener and this being the UK…I’ll pop back inside […]
