Six on Saturday – Hanging On
Everyone still attached? Hope so. A great point of contact, something to keep us grounded and in touch with the rest of the world, is Six on Saturday. And the glue that binds SoS together is our very own Mr Bostick. Have I gone too far with my analogies? Perhaps. If you’ve got a minute,Continue reading “Six on Saturday – Hanging On”
Rosa ‘Rhapsody in Blue’
I’ve had camera problems for several weeks. My Canon work companion had been abused too many times and was, quite understandably, complaining. Close encounters with mud, rain, dust, compost heaps and concrete is not good for any camera’s health.

Six on Saturday – Forlorn
Well Mr Prop you’ve really done it this time. It has been my first day off for a while. We have been away, dodging showers in Cornwall, and before that we had visitors to entertain, with more due next weekend. How have I spent this glorious nugget of a free day? Enjoying an aromatherapy massage,Continue reading “Six on Saturday – Forlorn”

There is one word that concisely sumsContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Dreary”

Hip hip hooray, it’s another Saturday! I’ve had a haircut and a bowl of chips with mayonnaise and now I am ready for anything. Even a Six on Saturday. No idea what I am talking about? Where have you been? Lost in the Bornean jungle, or Ikea’s soft furnishing department? Don’t worry, Sir Propalot willContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Angels and Demons”
Six on Saturday
I’m not much of a joiner-in. Its not that I don’t want to, but I lack focus and commitment. However I have decided to have a go at The Propagator’s meme, Six on Saturday. For those of you who don’t know The Propagator he is best described as The Terminator in reverse. His remit is simple:Continue reading “Six on Saturday”
What Happened Next?
On Wednesday myself and the posse went on a Plant Heritage trip to Cannington Walled Garden and The Bishop’s Palace garden in Wells. Although a little soggy a good time was had by all. One of my highlight was this rose named Rhapsody in Blue. As you can see, if we were to get picky aboutContinue reading “What Happened Next?”
