We wished for it and our hopes were answered. You can, however, have too much of a good thing. Enough rain now. Please. Have a nosey at our SoS leader’s site, Jim at Garden Ruminations, to find out if anyone else is acting like a spoilt brat. Shall we mosey on? This delicate umbellifer, ChaerophyllumContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Here Comes the Rain”

Six on Saturday – Awakenings
Well, this is more like it. Stuff seems to be happening in the garden. Good stuff. That, to me, is the definition of spring. Positivity. And don’t we need it?! Shoots and blossom and frogspawn are useful allies in reminding us of stronger forces. We need less reporting by mainstream media on the deluded andContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Awakenings”
Six on Saturday – Competition
On a day of bright sunshine, bluster and showers so shocking to make you chuckle, it was a minor challenge to get any decent photos. This makes me ponder as to what is the most important, Six on Saturday-wise, the shots or the words? The most important to me or to you? Words are moreContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Competition”
Six on Saturday – Whinge Free
No whinging this week, I promise. I’m too scared of Jude to try that lark again. Of course, she is quite right and I have given myself a serious talking to. And for once I actually listened. So, for one day only, which is all I can promise, all will be happy, upbeat and optimistic.Continue reading “Six on Saturday – Whinge Free”
Six on Saturday – Pinch Punch
Happy 1st of March to you all. For the optimists, debatably deluded on this frosty morning, this means spring has officially begun. For the pragmatists, we are still officially in winter until the 20th of this month. Naturally, I am in the former category, ready to be disheartened when the snow starts and all myContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Pinch Punch”
Six on Saturday – Cliché
Whatever you may have heard, I am not a fair weather SoSer. I have legitimate reasons for being absent for the past few weeks. They are: holiday, distraction, apathy. I’m here today with a rather unoriginal post, full of late winter clichés and repetition. It is hard this time of year, tricky to get outContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Cliché”
Six on Saturday – Reluctant
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 – Chilly
A deep breath everyone, we’ve done it. Congratulations Gang, we have successfully managed to complete 2024 and have moved on to 2025, in spite and despite the festivities. Well I hope we all did. It would be fair to say that this current spell of chilly, and perhaps snowy, weather is my fault. Last weekContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Chilly”
Six on Saturday – Inbetweeny
Here we are in Inbetweeny Time, a time which is simultaneously “after” and “before”. It is a time of national confusion. No one is quite sure what day it is, who is working and who is not, with the added trauma of working out when the recycling should go out, as if we miss itContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Inbetweeny”
Six on Saturday – Desperate
I really wanted to come out to play today. Last Saturday was my first contribution for a while and I wanted to keep the momentum going. Inertia may have been vanquished but it is a formidable opponent. This weeks’ problem was the photographs. All day the rain fell. All day my camera was at myContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Desperate”
