Whatever you may have heard, I am not a fair weather SoSer. I have legitimate reasons for being absent for the past few weeks. They are: holiday, distraction, apathy. I’m here today with a rather unoriginal post, full of late winter clichés and repetition. It is hard this time of year, tricky to get outContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Cliché”

Six on Saturday – Getting There
This is the last January 2025 Six on Saturday. This, to us in the Northern Hemisphere, is almost universally a good thing. Obviously, I can’t speak for everyone. There might be people out there who love drab, damp, windy and decidedly chilly weather. Each to their own. For the rest of us, far, far onContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Getting There”
Six on Saturday – Reluctant
It is not getting any easier, this Six on Saturday lark. I was rather reluctant to venture out to take photos; a cold, soggy and dark garden is not the most enticing destination. However, I told myself that if there was a time when I should make the effort it was now and, not quiteContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Reluctant”
Six on Saturday – Chilly
A deep breath everyone, we’ve done it. Congratulations Gang, we have successfully managed to complete 2024 and have moved on to 2025, in spite and despite the festivities. Well I hope we all did. It would be fair to say that this current spell of chilly, and perhaps snowy, weather is my fault. Last weekContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Chilly”
Six on Saturday – Inbetweeny
Here we are in Inbetweeny Time, a time which is simultaneously “after” and “before”. It is a time of national confusion. No one is quite sure what day it is, who is working and who is not, with the added trauma of working out when the recycling should go out, as if we miss itContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Inbetweeny”
Six on Saturday – Desperate
I really wanted to come out to play today. Last Saturday was my first contribution for a while and I wanted to keep the momentum going. Inertia may have been vanquished but it is a formidable opponent. This weeks’ problem was the photographs. All day the rain fell. All day my camera was at myContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Desperate”
Six on Saturday – Slacker
Lately I’ve been remiss in the Six on Saturday department, possibly in other areas too. Both body and spirit have been weak. Today, before the arrival of the man to check the roof, I nipped out to take a few gloomy photos, as a way of passing a few minutes productively. It transpires that theContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Slacker”
Six on Saturday – November Already?!
Seriously, November already? I’m not sure I’m prepared. I don’t mean for frosts and other inclements, I mean ready for, well, how can I put it, gloom. Each sunny day is grasped in a needy way, a life raft in a sea of drear. The garden, of course, couldn’t give a monkey’s about the weather,Continue reading “Six on Saturday – November Already?!”
Six on Saturday – Bedraggled
Well, that has been an interesting week. I’ve worked in waterproofs and t-shirts. I’ve fretted about kamikaze mothers. I’ve relished the sun on my back and cursed the relentless drizzle. I’ve planted bulbs, bulbs, bulbs. I’ve collected seeds, seeds, seeds. I’ve got through, which some weeks is enough. And I hope you all have too.Continue reading “Six on Saturday – Bedraggled”
Six on Saturday – Disappointment
Since I was last SoSing I’ve been on my travels, back to my former stomping ground in North Devon. It was wonderful, it did not disappoint. Well perhaps only once, when due to circumstances and issues far more important than me, I couldn’t see my old pal Hero. There will be other times, I amContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Disappointment”
