My turn now after nearly 3 years of TORTURE. I’m calling in mine own. The gallowglass were from the western coast of Scotland, principally Argyll and the Western Isles.[2] Their weapon of choice was a battle axe, but claymores were not uncommon. The gallowglasses (also spelled galloglass, gallowglas or galloglas; from Irish: gall óglaigh meaning foreign warriors) were a class of elite mercenary warriors who were principally members of the Norse-Gaelic clans of […]
She’s so sweet. The Harlow Carr roses in my veg patch are beginning to bloom. They have the most glorious, heady scent ever. She phones me…I’ve just made a Chocolate Chip Sponge Cake from our chickens’ eggs. So many eggs every day now that the kids are away. Can I bring it round for you […]
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?

But… I was so lucky to have gone to school with people just like me. We often shared a MASS detention together for being #BADTOTHEBONE. Write I am a Reject 100 times meant sellotaping 6 pens together and writing that in 2 minutes flat! One of them (in her 50’s…aaaargh. Ancient Crow) still has cropped […]
JIM The first #male friend that I let my Mum meet. She was dazzled by him….The silver-tongued, quick-witted, entertainer, manager-in-charge of my local theatre dude. Sheesh. And yes. He was never more than a friend who I went to school with and who used to lighten up my life. Even when we didn’t agree :o) […]
