In the northern hemisphere, tomorrow is the winter solstice. It is a time of optimism, an opportunity shout “up yours” to winter and, whilst shaking an angry fist, “your reign is nearly over Baby”. The currently submissive Day will begin to nibble at the dominant Night, slowly at first, getting hungrier as the weeks pass. Continue reading “A Solstice Six on Saturday”

Six on Saturday – Guest Blog with Fat Ol
Before we begin let us get one thing straight, my name is not Fat Ol. I am Perfectly Formed Ol. Due to Gill being “too busy doing nonspecific important things” I have reluctantly agreed to stand in. Between you and me, don’t tell a soul, she said (and this is a direct quote) “I can’tContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Guest Blog with Fat Ol”
Six on Saturday – In Haste
Sorry folks, I am in a terrible rush today, so this is going to be heavy on the photos, light on the words. Almost indetectable on the words. Let us go, but don’t forget to pop over to The Prop’s site to find out what it’s all about Alfie. First a cyclamen, a bit ragedContinue reading “Six on Saturday – In Haste”
Six on Saturday – November Cheer
I am determined to remain upbeat for this week’s Six on Saturday. Apparently, according to a memo I received this week from our mentor The Prop, it is important that we keep our happy faces on, given all that is going on at the moment. And, as we all know, what The Prop wants, TheContinue reading “Six on Saturday – November Cheer”
Six on Saturday – Forlorn
Well Mr Prop you’ve really done it this time. It has been my first day off for a while. We have been away, dodging showers in Cornwall, and before that we had visitors to entertain, with more due next weekend. How have I spent this glorious nugget of a free day? Enjoying an aromatherapy massage,Continue reading “Six on Saturday – Forlorn”
Six on Saturday – Wet and Dry
My week panned out as follows: wet, dry, wet, slightly soggy, sunny. It could have been worse. I might have had a leak in both my boots and my waterproof trousers. Luckily it was only one of the two. Gardening has been done, but unfortunately none in my own garden. Which possibly will not comeContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Wet and Dry”
Six on Saturday – I’m Back
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”
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”
