After a couple of weeks absent from Six on Saturday-ing (what do you mean you didn’t notice?), I am back in the loving arms of the SoS family. You might imagine that whilst away I was undertaking exciting and adventurous exploits, about which you would be only half right. Half of the time, not halfContinue reading “Six on Saturday – I’m Back”

Six on Saturday – Anarchy
I’m not very happy with my garden at the moment, and I’m sure the garden would say exactly the same about me. I have once again slipped into a cycle of neglect – no dead heading, no slug watch, no bother. And it shows. Anarchy has ensued. My Six on Saturday this week is aContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Anarchy”
Six on Saturday – The Moment
August: ready or not here we come! Soon there will talk of cool nights and shortening days, but let us not wish our lives away. There is plenty of time left to fret about watering and dead heading and whether we have fed our tomatoes enough or are the slugs and snails attacking whilst IContinue reading “Six on Saturday – The Moment”

My baby has caught his first dinner!
Six on Saturday – Right Place/Wrong Place
After my week’s respite from Sixing I am feeling energised and inspired. Not really. I thought that if I typed that it would become the truth, but no, it didn’t work. The week has been draining, but on the whole great fun. No doubt some of you will also have had to endure/enjoy above averageContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Right Place/Wrong Place”
Not The Six on Saturday
Today I am severely pushed for time, unable to spend the hours of careful consideration and agonising heartache I would normal suffer for a Six on Saturday. I did however want to share just one photo with you. The moment will have passed by next week and although I could pretend the omniscient PropContinue reading “Not The Six on Saturday”
Six on Saturday – Newbies
This week my Six on Saturday is going to feature New Kids on the Block. I hope you won’t too disappointed to discover I am not talking about the 1980’s boy band but newbies in my garden. Some are very recent acquisitions, fresh out of their wrappings, some have been in town a little longerContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Newbies”
Six on Saturday – Regime
Saturday is flying away and I can’t keep up. Unfortunately my usual weekend regime: dawntide 10k run followed by toasted quinoa breakfast with a quick scan of Plato’s Symposium, then a brisk hike up the Matterhorn, fitting in a visit to the local nursery on the descent and some hands on gardening when reaching homeContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Regime”
Six on Saturday – Downhill
Well it seems that is it. The solstice has passed and we are now on the slippery slope to winter. Passed in a jiffy didn’t it? Here is my midsummer Six on Saturday. And perversely it actually looks like a summer’s day out there. It is where I should be, not here at my desk. Continue reading “Six on Saturday – Downhill”
Six on Saturday – After the Rain
Flaming June was flaming wet yesterday. It made Tuesday, when Rain Stopped Play if you recall, seem like a jaunt in the Gobi. Today it has cleared, pushed onwards for the moment by bullying winds. This has meant that although taking photos for my Six on Saturday has been a dry affair, it has notContinue reading “Six on Saturday – After the Rain”
