This was MY regiment. Royal Military Police aka Red Caps aka Most Hated People Ever. Why were we so hated? Well. There is this myth that in the WW’s RMP were the evil bastards who rounded up deserters and shot them on sight. Or organised the Firing Squads. Or….! We were just normal, highly trained […]

Having lived in Ireland twice, we have a penchant for soda bread here. Good old peasant food. And the easiest bread to make. Just 4 ingredients. Flour. Bicarbonate of Soda. Salt. Buttermilk. Buttermilk? Not a staple here so I use ordinary semi-skilled milk and squeeze half a lemon in. The whole secret to this bread […]

Damaging winds etc etc etc :o( Living in the country – that’ll mean phone/electricity lines down and mass mayhem to all of us caused by falling trees, I guess. Who’d’ve thunk? […]

Panic Attack of a Lifetime

Wow! Yesterday was intense. And sad. And hurtful. Then this morning I woke up and read something. I was accused of being EVIL. In public. Online. And that comment was agreed upon by others. An hour later, I found myself on the kitchen floor, in agony. Unable to breathe. Being sick. Sweating. And my pulse, […]

I have no idea whatsoever if my musings here about “The Blood Countess” are correct or not but I’ve always had an uneasy feeling that she was NOT quite what history has told us. Like Vlad. It irks me, somewhat. (Which is my polite way of saying something very unladylike!) P.S. Her surname is pronounced […]

Watching this today made my mind boggle. Only yesterday, I had a conversation with someone who’d spent the first two months of one year in the mountains around Trondheim. To this day he remembers with complete awe the hours he spent sat on a snow mound, with absolute and complete silence all around, watching the […]

Nope. Wrong. Nothing to do with music. This one might be just a bit too loopy for some. Whatev’s. From childhood I’ve somehow known them as Gypsy Bands. No idea how. Why. Try and gOu0rgle that one! Today you can t’internet search Bracelet Lines or Rascettes. Look and learn. I have 5 on my left […]
