Good Vibrations

Yesterday I struggled with the weather, it was cold and windy and dark. I didn’t want to play autumn’s game. I wanted to hibernate. Snuggle up until spring studying picture books full of adorable photos of puppies and kittens. Today was similar, weather wise, but somehow different. Fully base layered up (not sure where IContinue reading “Good Vibrations”

Dippy

I’ve been a bit dippy lately. Dippier than normal. Last Saturday I mislaid my house keys. I had been embarrassingly (to OH anyway) counting out a tonne of small change in a local cafe and forgot put them back in my purse. Luckily we were reunited without too much stress.

What could the problem possibly be? I think I have been forgiven for relegating their lavender from No. 1 in theContinue reading “Roses, Roses, Roses”

An Interesting Story

Some days toddle along, nothing particularly notable happens, nothing even close to news worthy occurs. Most days actually. Don’t get me wrong, no complaints here. I am quite happy with my meandering life. When I get home and recount my days in minutae my OH often nods off “was that one of Gill’s interesting stories?”Continue reading “An Interesting Story”

Tulbaghia violacea – Society Garlic

Mrs Bun volunteers at Marwood Hill Gardens. A noble occupation. A wonderful garden. When she first started I said “and don’t you come back here saying Mr Head Gardener says this and that and you shouldn’t be doing that and you should be doing this and it is unnatural to chastice or serenade your plants!”.
