The prospect of Storm Kathleen hovers. She is the 11th named storm of the year and will undoubtedly bringing mayhem and destruction in her skirt tails. Which is ample excuse to have taken photos on Friday when the weather, though gusty and showery, was a little more well mannered. Looking out of the office windowContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Stormy”

Six on Saturday – Fussing
Are we there yet? Not quite. After a balmy t-shirt day yesterday, today the wind is bitter and showers are forecast. I must remind myself it is still March and be patient. Easier said than done. Still, plants continue to nudge above the surface and buds are swelling, in spite of the gardener’s fussing. AndContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Fussing”
Six on Saturday – Just Wait
Another balmy week, with mixed fortunes. Things are moving on; every day a little longer even if not a little brighter. Seeds have been sown, pots watched, germinations welcomed with joy. The garden is sodden but the greenhouse is an oasis. Still, the threat of cold lingers. That is about it. Our Six on SaturdayContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Just Wait”
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 – Away Days
We have been away. Down to my spiritual homeland, Cornwall. We met up with old friends, which involved a combination of reminiscing and catching up on news, accompanied by much laughter and carousing. We revisited old haunts of mine, after all these years now shared with OH, retracing younger steps with more scuffed shoes. As luck wouldContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Away Days”
Six on Saturday – A Corner Turned
Here we have it, 2024 in all its dank glory. That is the weather synopsis in this part of the world, anyway. Our garden doesn’t get much, if any, sun at this time of the year. It is south facing but surrounded by houses and the sun can’t muster the energy to clamber above the buildings quite yet. WhichContinue reading “Six on Saturday – A Corner Turned”
Six on Saturday – ‘Twas the SoS Before Christmas
Twas the SoS before Christmas, when all through the garden,Not a creature was stirring, not even a ……… Oh dear, I may have fallen at the first hurdle, what rhymes with garden? Pardon? Lardon? This isn’t going well. The plan was a good one, the execution sorely lacking. In any case there are plenty of creatures stirring, I’veContinue reading “Six on Saturday – ‘Twas the SoS Before Christmas”
Six on Saturday – Bad Dreams
I had a peculiarly dreamful sleep last night. As usual, the sweet dreams passed me by and horror took centre stage. After being dragged by my ankles to certain doom by evil spirits, I dreamt that Michel Roux Jnr (Michelin Starred chef and secret crush) told me, in no uncertain terms, that I had no writing talentContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Bad Dreams”
Six on Saturday – Blessings
Another challenging week, weather-wise. Another challenging week, work-wise. There has been an awful lot of bulb planting and a seriously daunting amount are lurking on the horizon. My back has been playing up and ibuprofen, Voltarol and a heated pad have been my constant companions. Still, it’s nearly spring, so I really mustn’t complain. Yes,Continue reading “Six on Saturday – Blessings”
Six on Saturday – Home Sweet Home
It has been a couple of weeks since I joined in with the Six on Saturday shenanigans; general apathy and specific holiday being the reasons. The sunny spells yesterday inspired me to pull myself together and venture forth into the mellay. The ground is sodden and the garden is looking rather unkempt; apathy and holidayContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Home Sweet Home”
