Are we there yet? No, I’m afraid we’re not. Hunker down chaps, we’ll get there in the end. No problem, all this self-isolating gives us plenty of time for Six on Saturdaying. Except I couldn’t fit it in yesterday. So here I am, the crack of dawn, trying to get it sorted. I seem toContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Are we there yet?”

Further Apart but Closer Still
Contrary to popular advice, I like to talk to strangers. I may have mentioned this before, along with the fact that I cannot be blamed for this affliction. It is my Mum’s fault, I have no choice in the matter. Nature or nurture? Whichever it might be, I am a lost cause. This morning, earlyContinue reading “Further Apart but Closer Still”
Up, Up and Away
This made me very happy. My first seeds of the season, Cosmos ‘Purity’, have germinated, the sight of which bought me great joy. On reflection, it was a slightly disturbing amount of pleasure. I may have double fist pumped. They look like groovers at a seedling disco, throwing some fine moves, so happy to beContinue reading “Up, Up and Away”
Six on Saturday – From a Safe Distance
Harold Wilson once said that a week in politics is a long time. Over this past week so much has been happening worldwide that it feels like an eternity. Still spring skips along and stuff is happening; good things both in the garden and out. If you want to see how alike we are aroundContinue reading “Six on Saturday – From a Safe Distance”
Home Not Alone
I have decided not to work until things sort themselves out. I will miss the gardens. But they will wait. Annoying, they will probably thrive. Perhaps more irritatingly, the sun has shone in constant sniggering glory ever since. I will miss my friends; human, canine and feline. But they will welcome me back when theContinue reading “Home Not Alone”
Six on Saturday – Hope
Welcome to this week’s Six on Saturday. My theme, and I do like a theme even if I do tend to go off piste, is “hope”. I googled “what is hope?” and I was presented with two options. Firstly; a feeling of expectation and desire for a particular thing to happen. It was however theContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Hope”
Six on Saturday – Celebration
On the face of it there hasn’t been much to celebrate recently. For quite a while now. Most of the reasons, and there have been a fair few, have been, and are continuing to be, well documented. Too many commas? Perhaps. In our little corner, just to add some spice to the mix, we haveContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Celebration”

Six on Saturday – Between Storms
Are we still hanging on? Hope so. Welcome to another Six on Saturday. If you need to know more or you would like to see what the others are up to, and quite frankly you would be daft not to, pop over to The Maestro Prop’s site and all will be revealed. A tricky week,Continue reading “Six on Saturday – Between Storms”
Six on Saturday – Resilience
It has been an eventful couple of weeks for the world; fire and flood, plague, false prophets, the whole shebang! In my own small and insignificant world we have soldiered on, protected from all but a smidgeon of the evil portents, although not always with our smiley faces on. There have casualties and but manyContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Resilience”
