Although the subject of this blog should be patently obvious from the title, for those of you in need of a little extra help, I will explain. I’ve been on a bread making/sibling bonding course. This was a family gift to my brother in honour of a special birthday last year and a singular giftContinue reading “Slapping and Slashing and a Little Probing”

St Crallo and The Cross
There is so much to say and so little energy to say it. It has been very very windy and it hasn’t stopped being windy yet. It was also very wet. That has now stopped, possibly temporarily. In other news, the pear tree is still standing. Next door’s fence is not. The world seems intentContinue reading “St Crallo and The Cross”
Six on Saturday – Turn Right
Everything has conspired against me in my Six on Saturday mission this week. I have had computer tantrums, a bread knife related finger injury and a dodgy camera. Did I let that stop me? Did I, hell as like! Captain Prop didn’t get to where he is today by letting an insignificant thing like aContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Turn Right”
Two Gardens and a Little Shopping
Today, in Creigiau, two gardens were open for the National Garden Scheme. It would have been rude not to take a look. Normally, so I am told, it would have been more that two, but we live in challenging times and we were quite happy with a brace of beauties. I’m sure there will beContinue reading “Two Gardens and a Little Shopping”
Six on Saturday – Greatest Hits
This week, in the pretence of treating you to some joy at this festive time but in reality is because it is tipping with rain and I am in a grump, I will be presenting to you lovely folk six happy recollections of the year past. Whether or not this is permitted, perhaps an addendumContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Greatest Hits”
Brighten
If the start of your day is anything like mine (wet, windy, miserable) then you will definitely be needing something to lift your spirt. Here are some autumn crocuses (or should that be croci?) to, hopefully, do just that.
Coming in ……
On a mission.
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”
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”
Bliss
I eventually made it to Marwood Hill Gardens. This was after a well-documented previous attempt, which ended in misery and heart-break. For those of you who missed this sorry tale, or would like to practice their schadenfreude technique, here it is again – Moaning Minnie – Part Two. It was worth the wait. Oh, itContinue reading “Bliss”
