Six on Saturday – Chocolates

Even though it was singularly uninviting, it being damp and windy and the weekend, I had to go out into the garden this morning.  Not just because of the pressing urgency of The Propagator‘s Six on Saturday, but because if I didn’t do certain jobs a visit from the local RSPCP officer was inevitable.  So IContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Chocolates”

Six on Saturday – If I must

I had decided that I wasn’t going to SoS this week.  Lots to do, miserable outside, lacking motivation, Madagascar 2 on the TV, crisps in the cupboard.  However, such is the hold that The Propagator has on me, I have relented.  I am hoping that eventually he will return the incriminating photos.  Until then, let’s go! MyContinue reading “Six on Saturday – If I must”

Six on Saturday – Static

It is not as if Storm Brian snuck up on us unannounced.  We have been warned of his imminent arrival for days.  In my heart I know I should have gone out in the garden yesterday to take my photos, when it was warm enough to dry the washing.  But I didn’t.  And today IContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Static”

Six on Saturday – Late on Parade

Sorry, I’m a little late on parade.  I would love to say I had a pressing engagement, possibly top secret, which prevented me posting yesterday.  The truth is, however, other mundane stuff got in the way and the day slipped by on a banana skin.  Still I am here now and The Propagator, who managesContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Late on Parade”

Six on Saturday – I’m Back

What do you mean you didn’t miss me?  I shall ignore you dissenters. For those of you who have been paying attention, I am back with my Six on Saturday.  After one whole weeks’ absence.  This meme is run by The Propagator, pop over to his site to check out his half dozen and other contributors. Continue reading “Six on Saturday – I’m Back”

Six on Saturday – Still Waiting

Once more unto the Six on Saturday, the global meme hosted by superhero The Propagator.  Following last week’s “Nearly’s” I am sorry to report that out of the six potential stars we only have one performer, and that is rather a half-hearted attempt. So we will start with something that is at least trying, a honeysuckle,Continue reading “Six on Saturday – Still Waiting”

Six on Saturday – The Nearlys

Saturday again and here is my contribution to The Honourable Mr P‘s Six on Saturday.   There is a thread running through this post, all my featured plants have something in common.  They are all Nearlys.  Not quite flowering.  Bearing in mind the recent weather, I can quite understand their reticence.  In the hope that by nextContinue reading “Six on Saturday – The Nearlys”

Six on Saturday – It’s a Miracle

It is Saturday.  Outside it is blowing a hoolie and periodically horizontal rain joins in the fun.  My ‘to do’ list makes War and Peace look like a novella.   I have writing to finish and don’t need any diversions thank you very much.  All great excuses not to participate in The Propagator‘s Six on Saturday.Continue reading “Six on Saturday – It’s a Miracle”

Six on Saturday – Once More

It is the weekend again and what does that mean?  No not roller disco and pints of piña colada,  it means it is Six on Saturday time!  Thanks to The Propagator for hosting this meme. Firstly we have Roscoea purpurea, it is a dark leaved variety so may well have another name. I’m afraid any label isContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Once More”

Six on Saturday (again)

So here we are again.  It seems that in the correct order of things it is indeed Saturday again.  And we all know what that means.  You don’t?  It means Six on Saturday, the meme that The Propagator curates.  This is the second week in a row.  A small miracle. So let’s get going. Firstly we haveContinue reading “Six on Saturday (again)”
