All At Sea

I went for a walk on Hilsborough today; a hill that looms between ourselves and the sea. It is National Trust land and a nature reserve, and at the top is an ancient hill fort, although to the untrained eye or uninformed this is not obvious. I was on my own, OH was otherwise employedContinue reading “All At Sea”

Flower, bee, pollen. The End.

Six on Saturday – Linkful

Another Six on Saturday and, with a little help from my friends, specifically my blogging mate Jude, I have discovered the link button in this “oh, so moderne” block editor. It seems fair to have used this newly discovered facility to direct you to Jude’s site where no doubt she has also, or is aboutContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Linkful”

Iochroma australe

It is always special to see once of your babies doing well. This Iochroma australe was grown from seed and now, with its pale sister, is thriving in Max’s garden. I do wish I had kept one for myself. It could have elbowed its way into a corner somewhere. On reflection it probably is forContinue reading “Iochroma australe”

Welcome Rain

It was predicted but you never can be quite sure, I have been disappointed before. As we slept it started, but in the morning it was hard to say quite how much had fallen. A morning at The Buns, planting in mainly mizzle with a little drizzle, showed just how little it had penetrated intoContinue reading “Welcome Rain”

The Altogether

I’ve always enjoyed sleeping. Would it be immodest of me to say I’m rather good at it? Well I am, it would be my Mastermind specialist subject. That is until recently. My meagre superpower has abandoned me. In the past few weeks, months even, I have woken early, wide awake with no glimmer of sleepContinue reading “The Altogether”

Six on Saturday – Linkless

This is my first attempt at a Six on Saturday from scratch, using the new-fangled WordPress block editor. At the moment I haven’t located the link oojamaflip (I’ve never had to spell that word before, might need checking, I did, it was wrong, I corrected it, no-one will ever know) so you will have toContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Linkless”

Ask No Questions

This installation has appeared at The Mantles. I thought it best not to ask.

Six on Saturday – A Catalogue of Errors

Another Six on Saturday, which for me has been the most discombobulating week since lockdown. I can feel tension in the air. Not in this house, luckily. Not often anyway. Strife is almost unheard of in the Six on Saturday Brotherhood, have a look at Our Guru The Most Properly Master of all Thing Prop’sContinue reading “Six on Saturday – A Catalogue of Errors”

Sweetness

I had a nice walk to the petrol station today. “Why?” I hear you ask “Have you succumbed to your pyromaniacal urges once more?”. No, that is firmly in the past. The answer is quite simple. Waiting there just for me, with my name on the paper wrapping, was a bunch of sweet peas. TheseContinue reading “Sweetness”
