I’ve had a busy week. Busy in a good way. Which means that I am weary but contented. And a little bit sad. Spring has the knack of soothing the troubled soul and providing positivity where perhaps it would usually be tricky to find it. This week my favourite season has done a sterling job.Continue reading “Six on Saturday – Soothing”

Six on Saturday – Stormy
The prospect of Storm Kathleen hovers. She is the 11th named storm of the year and will undoubtedly bringing mayhem and destruction in her skirt tails. Which is ample excuse to have taken photos on Friday when the weather, though gusty and showery, was a little more well mannered. Looking out of the office windowContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Stormy”
Six on Saturday
Here we are again, Mad May, and things are speeding up again. Weeks are flying by, soon it will be mid summer’s day, then September and then months of gloom and doom. Have I cheered you up? I expect not. If you want a proper cheering up, or if you are cheery already and wishContinue reading “Six on Saturday”
Six on Saturday – Hello
I just popped by to say “hello there”. To say “cooooeeeeee, I’m still hanging on to Planet Earth”. Perhaps even “did you miss me, did you notice I’ve been gone?” Too needy? Almost definitely. More importantly, I am here to share my last Six from Peggy’s house. Or rather, my last Six if the BigContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Hello”
Six on Saturday – Two Little Ducks
Usually I feel a little miffed after we pass midsummer. “Was that it?” I sulk “Surely not!” This year is different. This year we have a new devil-may-care, let’s-get-on-with-it, stop-your-bloomin’-moaning kinda vibe. We maybe on the path back down the mountain, but there is no need to feel sad, plenty of time yet to enjoyContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Two Little Ducks”
Six on Saturday – Befuddled
Not only am I confused about what day it is, I am a little befuddled as to which week of the year it is. Hence, I spent a fair amount of time on a blog which is appropriate to next week. No matter, it is money in the bank I suppose. We are getting paidContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Befuddled”
Six on Saturday – Return of the Sun
I am happy to report that this Six on Saturday is written with the sun in my heart and, more importantly, in my garden. Yesterday, when I took these photographs, it was doing the usual, no need to dwell on that nonsense, that is the past. Let us raise a cup of tea to theContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Return of the Sun”
Six on Saturday – I’m a Survivor
Back to my usual Six on Saturday timing, which I like to think of as fashionable late but some might call tardy. This is not due to lack of enthusiasm for the task at hand, quite the contrary. As the year ripens there are more and more lovelies which beg to be featured. OnContinue reading “Six on Saturday – I’m a Survivor”
Six on Saturday – Raindrops keep falling on my flowers
Someone must have speeded the film up. It can’t possibly be Saturday again. There is so much to cram into every week, it doesn’t seem fair that the time seems to pass more quickly at this time of year. As we are pondering this anomaly, puzzled looks on our faces, gaining yet more wrinkles,Continue reading “Six on Saturday – Raindrops keep falling on my flowers”
Six on Saturday – Celebration
Welcome to another Six on Saturday, the meme of choice for the horticultural in-crowd. Too cool for school, on-trend, leaders not followers. You get my gist. Contributors are herded by none other than the great cultural icon himself, The Propagator. Before I go any further I have an apology to make, last week, in myContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Celebration”
