My sincere apologies to FL Channel. But – I use all and every source available without boundaries! It’s just that – His sources and Mine are soooooo far apart. But that’s only perspective. WHO translated the Rosetta Stone? WHAT is the Rosetta Stone? Nappy Blownapart is really getting on my…….Bleeeeeeep!

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 […]

OK. If I didn’t love this woman so much I’d have a huge falling out with her! I’ve now started shouting at Sarah through the TV. WHAT? All my faves in one recipe? How very dare you!! Feta. Olives. Cherry tomatoes. Capers. Olive oil. Thyme. And pitta bread. OH. And to makes things worse, milady. […]

Curious World

I’ve watched a few of this channel’s videos. They are a mixture of times and places but all a bit macabre. This one caught my fancy this morning. It’s called “When Nature Unearths the Dead” and is the first part of 3 or 4. Mmmmn. Pondering!

Mmmmmmn! I grew up watching Baz Rath Sherlock Holmes. My fave film with him and Nigel Bruce has always been….see below. But when my youngest was in hospital, way back, I read the original short story. The 5 Orange Pips. The two could NOT be more different. Thanks UnHolyWood. NOT :o(

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 […]

For some strange reason, the yt channel below keeps on triggering me. I can’t have been more than 12 or 13 when I first read a HistFic novel about Anne Bonny and Mary Read. Calico Jack…all those dandy pirates. A few years later I came across… Wiki : Grace O’Malley There’s something a bit too […]

MY Waterloo Wall

Dear Reader, Please let me introduce you all to the wall that broke me this morning! There’s a huge comfy armchair in front of the very-out-of-tune piano right now, said piano, and an unreachable corner FULL of pesky cobwebs. I lost this battle :o( P.S. And I missed a trick too. I should’ve shouted – […]
