It is that time again, the weekly Six on Saturday fix, although I do seem to be a fortnightly kinda gal these days. Exciting/terrifying times and all that. The intention is strong, the ability weak. Someone, also with a lot on his plate but seemingly excuse-free, is our esteemed leader The Propagator. It goes withoutContinue reading “Six on Saturday – No Publicity”

Six on Saturday
Six on Saturday, here we go again. Admittedly it has been a few weeks since I dabbled, but I’m sure I will pick it up again; the subtle nuances, the intricacies. Just like riding a bicycle. Unfortunately, I can only ride a bike in a straight line, as long as there are no cars, orContinue reading “Six on Saturday”
Six on Saturday – Hearts and Flowers
This is a special Six on Saturday. Today was to have been the wedding day of my nephew Adam and his fiancée Jess.

Although once-removed from these sadnesses, it has caused me to be rather more reflective than usual. Today I drove a friend to North Devon Hospice to pick up his car, left there after the passing ofContinue reading “Fallen Leaves”
Hanging On
Despite the strong winds of the last few days, the last leaf of Cercis canadensis ‘Forest Pansy’ holds on.
Unfurling
Over the years it has become apparent to me that some plants are more reluctant to awaken in the spring than others. They like to take their own time, pootle along at their own rate, unaffected by what others may be doing around them, namely participating in the Great Spring Re-Clothing. These plants are playersContinue reading “Unfurling”
