Stopped In MY Tracks

Oh. PishPosh! I had sooooo many plans for today. After walking (yes, walking) through a part of the hedge and finding that it was actually dead and easy to pull up, I made a secret opening, right under the huge hazelnut tree, from here to the gooseberry and currant bushes. Woohooo! Today, I’m hacking back, […]

Public Swimming Pools

Once upon a time or thrice….I’ve woken up early and swum.swam/swimmed in the swimming pool above. Lovely warm water. Nice surroundings. Total peace and quiet. Sigh. Place Place Vendôme, […]

Vivien Leigh vs Liz Taylor

Vit C & MSM

My beautiful mentor, Leslie…yes. Get over my blahblabblab. On Cura Romana I took and I quote from the lady herself….“Vitamin C – You will need to take 3 x 1000mg (1gram) capsules of Vitamin C each day.” MSM is also good with Vit C. A match made in healthy heaven ? ? ? P.S. Leslie was American. She […]
