Earlier this week, I was swanning around the garden looking for SoS inspiration and my OH asked why I wasn’t taking any pictures of the violas. “I’m saving them for when I’m desperate, later in the month”, I explained. “Aren’t you allowed to repeat your subjects?”, he queried. “No fear!” I exaggerated, gasping for maximumContinue reading “Six on Saturday – On Repeat”

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 – Bad Cop
Shall we cut to the chase. We have known each other long enough to be totally honest with one another. You know what comes next. I give The Prop a bit of a big up and a semi-amusing title, he totally ignores me, I waffle on a bit about stuff that no one quite understandsContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Bad Cop”
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 – Boomerang
We’ve done it! We’ve made to astronomical spring unscathed. Perhaps a little water-damaged and nibbled around the edges, but on the whole not bad for a forever emersion in the dank months. Still, it’s nothing some longer days, later sunsets and a few shoots and buds won’t fix. I know I’ve already celebrated meteorological spring,Continue reading “Six on Saturday – Boomerang”
Six on Saturday – A Catalogue of Errors
Another Six on Saturday, which for me has been the most discombobulating week since lockdown. I can feel tension in the air. Not in this house, luckily. Not often anyway. Strife is almost unheard of in the Six on Saturday Brotherhood, have a look at Our Guru The Most Properly Master of all Thing Prop’sContinue reading “Six on Saturday – A Catalogue of Errors”
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 – Firsts
You cannot get away from “Firsts” at this time of year. Wipe the slate clean and start all over. There is a lot to be said for that. A good approach to life. As the year tootles along these firsts will become fewer and far between, but not yet. And today was full ofContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Firsts”
Six on Saturday – Festive Frolics
Today I tentatively ventured up the slippery steps in order to inspect the top garden and take a few photos. And why, you may well ask, would I put myself at such risk? All for you Mr Prop, all for you. Also for all the other Six on Saturdayers and their followers. And for myContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Festive Frolics”
Six on Saturday – Dreary
It always takes me a few weeks to accustom myself to the shortening days and falling temperatures. All week I have struggled to get up in the morning and when I drag myself out of bed I am more belligerent teenager than disco diva. Today was no exception. There is one word that concisely sumsContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Dreary”
