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 – Back to it
After a self-awarded sabbatical, I returned to work this week with a squelch. Still, it could have been an awful lot worse, it could have rained on Wednesday as well. This positive thinking is 100% due to having had a month off. I am refreshed. Ask me my thoughts again in a couple of weeks. Only joking, my mindset hasContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Back to it”
Six on Saturday – Keep it in the Family
We have been away on a little jaunt. We caught the Eurostar to Rotterdam and onwards to visit my Cloggie brother and his family. It was wonderful. There were castles and forts, frantic bars and peaceful patios, culture and indulgence. One of the many things that gave me joy during our visit was exploring theirContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Keep it in the Family”
Six on Saturday – Excitement
I am even more distracted today. I know, it doesn’t take much. It has been one of those days when the planets align and stuff happens. Hottest day of the year so far, the stairlift engineer came, a lovely card with seed packets arrived, there was a flying ant infestation in the kitchen, oh yes,Continue reading “Six on Saturday – Excitement”
Six on Saturday – New Friends
If it wasn’t for May, I think June would be my favourite month. There is still optimism in the air and the ravages of reality are yet to pay a visit. All is good. Anything is possible. Today is the first SoS of my second best month. All the pots have now been transported fromContinue reading “Six on Saturday – New Friends”
Six on Saturday – Balance
Here we are again, happy as can be, all good friends and jolly good company. Another Six on Saturday and quite frankly I’m not sure I’ve got a lot to offer; no tales to tell, no yarns to spin. I have got a few plants to share with you, which after all is the point,Continue reading “Six on Saturday – Balance”
Six on Saturday – Waiting
My photos for this Six on Saturday were restrained by the fact I had to be within hearing distance of the phone. OH was out doing the weekly shop, God bless him, and I was on high alert, loitering within ear-shot. Therefore, all pictures had to be taken within two leaps of the back door.Continue reading “Six on Saturday – Waiting”
Six on Saturday – No Name
Sometimes you can get caught up in your own little world of misery. Which is what has happened to me this week, or perhaps a fortnight. It is tooth related, a design fault to my mind. In the scheme of things, it is small beer, but still, the mire of my mood persists. Weakness isContinue reading “Six on Saturday – No Name”
Six on Saturday – From a Safe Distance
Harold Wilson once said that a week in politics is a long time. Over this past week so much has been happening worldwide that it feels like an eternity. Still spring skips along and stuff is happening; good things both in the garden and out. If you want to see how alike we are aroundContinue reading “Six on Saturday – From a Safe Distance”
Six on Saturday – I’m Back
After a couple of weeks absent from Six on Saturday-ing (what do you mean you didn’t notice?), I am back in the loving arms of the SoS family. You might imagine that whilst away I was undertaking exciting and adventurous exploits, about which you would be only half right. Half of the time, not halfContinue reading “Six on Saturday – I’m Back”
