August: ready or not here we come! Soon there will talk of cool nights and shortening days, but let us not wish our lives away. There is plenty of time left to fret about watering and dead heading and whether we have fed our tomatoes enough or are the slugs and snails attacking whilst IContinue reading “Six on Saturday – The Moment”

Six on Saturday – Right Place/Wrong Place
After my week’s respite from Sixing I am feeling energised and inspired. Not really. I thought that if I typed that it would become the truth, but no, it didn’t work. The week has been draining, but on the whole great fun. No doubt some of you will also have had to endure/enjoy above averageContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Right Place/Wrong Place”
Not The Six on Saturday
Today I am severely pushed for time, unable to spend the hours of careful consideration and agonising heartache I would normal suffer for a Six on Saturday. I did however want to share just one photo with you. The moment will have passed by next week and although I could pretend the omniscient PropContinue reading “Not The Six on Saturday”
Six on Saturday – Newbies
This week my Six on Saturday is going to feature New Kids on the Block. I hope you won’t too disappointed to discover I am not talking about the 1980’s boy band but newbies in my garden. Some are very recent acquisitions, fresh out of their wrappings, some have been in town a little longerContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Newbies”
Six on Saturday – Downhill
Well it seems that is it. The solstice has passed and we are now on the slippery slope to winter. Passed in a jiffy didn’t it? Here is my midsummer Six on Saturday. And perversely it actually looks like a summer’s day out there. It is where I should be, not here at my desk. Continue reading “Six on Saturday – Downhill”
Six on Saturday – After the Rain
Flaming June was flaming wet yesterday. It made Tuesday, when Rain Stopped Play if you recall, seem like a jaunt in the Gobi. Today it has cleared, pushed onwards for the moment by bullying winds. This has meant that although taking photos for my Six on Saturday has been a dry affair, it has notContinue reading “Six on Saturday – After the Rain”
Six on Saturday – Time Travel
This week I have had to enlist the assistance of the time machine again, on loan from our very own Six on Saturday Time Lord, Dr Prop. At this very moment in time I am not only here with you I am also up to high jinx on another planet, possibly indulging in age inappropriateContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Time Travel”
Six on Saturday – Stormzy and Soggzy
Of course it was too good to be true. Last week was the intruder, the uninvited guest who agitated the party, whipping up the mob, charming us into believing we could have better. But we can’t. This is the south-west of the UK. It rains. It blows. We have residual webbed feet. I shouldContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Stormzy and Soggzy”
Six on Saturday – Dyb, Dyb, Dyb
I’m prepared this week. No last-minute rush, all is calm and in control, just like a girl guide. In real life I didn’t make it to the heady heights of girl guidom, but I was in the brownies, who quite frankly take anyone. I can’t remember much of our exploits except there was a curiouslyContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Dyb, Dyb, Dyb”
Six on Saturday – Ennui
Six on Saturday here we go again, all good friends and jolly good company. Although I’m not feeling “jolly good company” this week. On the contrary, I am rather uninspired. Dull. Boring. Bored. Perhaps a little bit grumpy. But only a little. Maybe I should ring in sick, but then again I’m away next weekendContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Ennui”
