If you’ve watched the video just posted about Baba Anujka (Grandmother Annie…I CANNOT make this up ! ) you might’ve noticed how easy it is for a Scot to pronounce Slavic names/words. Is there a link thereabouts? I’m very sad that my Scottish accent was ridiculed/mocked/bullied out of me by the time I was 8 […]

I’m planting in memory of Ophelia. A part of my garden will be dominated by Rosemary. Pansies are so very gorgeous. Sigh. Fennel I can take or leave as food – but the foliage is amazing. Columbine is my favourite name but I grew up calling them Granny’s Bonnet. Now they are Aquilegia. Whatever. Gorgeous. […]

This is SO much like me and Tsar. My “groove” aka sofa gets regularly hijacked by a GSD. See above. The bed used to, too. But he’s too old now to take a running jump and spread-eagle, dead dog/can’t move me, over three quarters of MY sleeping place.
