OH! I GET it Now.

I’ve been a bit slow here. OK. Plan of attack. Get ruthless with the secateurs. All my black/red/white currant and gooseberry bushes have given up the ghost! They need a good prune. Also – the once glorious veg patch is now…just a mass of mess. Apart from the comfrey and roses and rhubarb. Maybe I […]

The Scold’s Bridle

I wonder if I should keep these diaries under lock and key. Jenny Spede has disturbed them again . . . What does she make, I wonder, of an old woman, deformed by arthritis, stripping naked for a young man? The pills worry me more. Ten is such a round number to be missing . […]

Viaduct

As a kid, whenever I went back to Dad’s place of birth, where his parents still lived, I’d be FASCINATED by the structure in the image above. When not on the beach. Or standing on the bridge over the railway, which -btw- was my route to the beach, I’d stand and stare at the viaduct. […]

A Sad & Sorry Sight

I’ve just truly depressed myself today :o( The image below is my stable block. We began a huge (?) renovation and very stupidly involved the local conservation council committee. M’eh. I’ve talked before about them and how me and they parted. My total disrespect and their complete draining of ALL funds!!!! Anyhoo. Positive note. The […]

Little Drummer Girl

The F1RST time that I met and watched Alexandra do this – she was 16. Too young to serve behind her parents bar as Victoria (lead) and Elizabeth (bass) could do! SIXTEEN YEARS OLD! And a girlie? More fake tools exposed. More fake drummers. More fake Mods. More fake Punks. More FAF Con – Trollers. […]

A Breathing Exercise

This is something that I was taught MANY years ago by Belleruth Naperstek and Leslie Kenton. Once you’ve learned the proper way to breathe………………? Try this one. Breathing Through the Heart. Do all the regular prep then – Deeeeeeep breath in through the heart. Hold. Deeeeeeeep breath out through the heart. Practise makes perfect :o)

Black Rats

We used to have two double-barrel shotguns in the house. All locked up and licensed. But a couple of years back when a man with a clipboard came round the house to check said FIREARM security – we made a Very Stupid Mistake. (Private Family History Stuff.) And mentioned the Black Rats as the UK […]

SGT

Apart from Richard D Hall and David Icke and Max, I’ve learned more from Sean than any other ytoober about what’s going on in the world today. Y’see, I’m the kind of girl who doesn’t even know what day of the week it is, never mind what’s happening OUT THERE! Sean & Crrow? OK. Like […]

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?

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 […]
