This is a special Six on Saturday. Today was to have been the wedding day of my nephew Adam and his fiancée Jess. Instead of white gown and morning suit they will be donning PPE’s, both at present working on Coronavirus isolation wards in The University Hospital of Wales. I am immensely proud of themContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Hearts and Flowers”

Six on Saturday – Befuddled
Not only am I confused about what day it is, I am a little befuddled as to which week of the year it is. Hence, I spent a fair amount of time on a blog which is appropriate to next week. No matter, it is money in the bank I suppose. We are getting paidContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Befuddled”
Moaning Minnie
I have been wittering on for years about the annoying aquilegia in our garden. How they elbow-out and bully their way around the garden. How they are sneaky, underhand and not to be trusted. Today I sat on the bottom step, my delicate behind cushioned on my inflatable kneeler, potting on and pricking out. Continue reading “Moaning Minnie”
Six on Saturday – Thankful
Another week of lockdown passed; another Six on Saturday completed. A few months ago I would never have dreamt that I would type those words. Still, I consider myself most fortunate, I have many reasons to be thankful. One of which, and a blessing indeed, is being a member of the wonderful Six on SaturdayContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Thankful”
Here Comes the Rain
After a rather pathetic, doleful day yesterday, today I am back on form. Some might struggle to see any difference. The rain has cheered me up no end.

Wonder Days
Lurking within these time-skewed days of isolation there have been moments of wonder. The nature of these nuggets is varied, differing from household to household, human bean to human bean. It might have been proudly presenting your first ever sourdough loaf straight from the oven to rapturous applause of one. Perhaps it was completing theContinue reading “Wonder Days”
Six on Saturday – Top Secret Kittens
It was touch and go as to whether I would make this week’s Six on Saturday. Luckily, I got back in time from my top-secret kitten-rescuing mission to complete my task. Rest assured that all kittens are safe and well. I hope you are too. Any more information needed then pop on over to P’sContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Top Secret Kittens”
The Mighty Fallen
When I ventured out into the chilly morning air, to put yet another Dom Pérignon bottle in the recycling bin, I was met with a sorry sight. Lain dead centre of the path, pathetic and crestfallen, was the mighty purple tulip featured in this week’s Six on Saturday. It had been unceremoniously ripped from itsContinue reading “The Mighty Fallen”
Six on Saturday – Not Going Out
We made it to another Six on Saturday, hurrah! If you are curious, pop on over to The Prop’s and find out what the rest of the gang are up to. For some it will be spring, for some it will be autumn, but we are all united by one thing. Things have slowed down,Continue reading “Six on Saturday – Not Going Out”
