Are we there yet? It seems not quite. It has turned cold again, with threat of frosts and attendant late afternoon greenhouse swaddling. Of course this is how it should be. It is February and even the most season-swindling of us all must admit that, any way you look at it, it is still winter.Continue reading “Six on Saturday – It is what it is”

Six on Saturday – Mizzle
Today’s SoS photos are not what I would like them to be. Firstly, I was going to show you the results of my gardening efforts. Secondly, all shots were to be in focus. What demon thwarted my good intentions, who was my nemesis? Mizzle, that’s what. The grand scheme was to spend the morning pottingContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Mizzle”
Six on Saturday – Cool
Deluge, freeze, deluge, freeze, deluge, freeze: what an interesting winter we are having. For the last couple of weeks it has been a mainly monochrome affair, dank and dreary, but the recent frosts have been accompanied by blue skies. Unfortunately, the sun barely touches down in our garden at the moment, just a tantalising glanceContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Cool”
Six on Saturday – First and Last
February has arrived, as it always would, and what a relief. A short month, almost an afterthought, one to fill in a gap between January and March. Things have not progressed much since last week, but there have been glimmers of hope. For more Sixing pop over to His Propness and find out what hasContinue reading “Six on Saturday – First and Last”
Six on Saturday – Pretty Maids All in a Row
It has been a fortnight since I last reported and I am worried that you are expecting great things of me. I am sure you do not wish to hear excuses, if necessary I can come up with a baker’s dozen, so I will just say “these things can not be rushed, I am anContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Pretty Maids All in a Row”
Six on Saturday
I was all revved up for a Six a couple of weeks ago, in fact I had the photos lined up and scripts imagined. Then disaster struck and I had fisticuffs with my computer, which didn’t end well for me. We have since made friends (tentatively) and I am determined to join the throng thisContinue reading “Six on Saturday”
Six on Saturday – Crisis? What Crisis?*
Second week in and 2021 is already looking rather tarnished. I’ve got an idea. Let’s buff it up, reintroduce a shine, give it a serious Six on Saturday make-over. If you visit the SoS Housekeeper’s site you will find a battalion of us from across the globe, armed with dusters, doing a bit of polishing,Continue reading “Six on Saturday – Crisis? What Crisis?*”
Six on Saturday – Thankful
Another week of lockdown passed; another Six on Saturday completed. A few months ago I would never have dreamt that I would type those words. Still, I consider myself most fortunate, I have many reasons to be thankful. One of which, and a blessing indeed, is being a member of the wonderful Six on SaturdayContinue reading “Six on Saturday – Thankful”
A Solstice Six on Saturday
In the northern hemisphere, tomorrow is the winter solstice. It is a time of optimism, an opportunity shout “up yours” to winter and, whilst shaking an angry fist, “your reign is nearly over Baby”. The currently submissive Day will begin to nibble at the dominant Night, slowly at first, getting hungrier as the weeks pass. Continue reading “A Solstice Six on Saturday”
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”
