Leave Me Alone. I’m Busy!

Moving all my crap into the pigsty. Well. It was the pigsty/wood shed. But it was our first renovation. It became the bar/man cave. And yes. We’ve had some bloody good parties here but it’s been unused for the past 4 years. So. I’m making it MY potting shed/greenhouse/private space. Look at those big windows […]

Professional Beggar vs Real Beggar

Oh. Revelation. Trying to find a pic on the internet to show beggars in Karachi, I had to trawl through all the professional beggar images first. This reminded me of all the research that I’ve done into the history of the poor. Especially the Cour des Miracles in Paris in the 17th c. I almost […]

I Am SO Done with the Abuse!

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 […]
