9 years of blogging, ‘dragons’ & storm Ciara
Monday 3rd February: Oh my goodness WordPress has informed me that I first registered and posted 9 years ago, 31st Jan 2011 😲 It seems I have been banging on with my blurb for quite a long time 😜 My first blogs were short and sweet lol, they have got a lot longer over the…

Breakfast bars & muffins, archways & Imbolic
Monday 27th January: Is it going to be one of those days or even weeks, January, the longest month ever! This morning started off with me still in my pyjamas stripping off the bed covers and putting them in the wash, I added a couple of drops of essential oil (Orange) to my softener as…

Knowledge, pasties and twiglet sitting.
Monday 20th January 2020: Morning 😀 another hard frost last night, lovely jubbly. John has gone off to ‘real’ work this morning leaving me to do the morning rounds which I don’t mind in the least when the ground is firm underfoot 😜 I listened to another podcast this morning, gardening related naturally, this one…

Stormy weather, goose eggs & pod casts.
Monday 13th January: I had a cracking evening last night, by that I mean cracking nuts not having a good time 😜 I thought I’d better get started on the nuts if I do half an hour here and there I will soon have plenty of nuts to snack on or use in cooking. Turns…

Back to normal, stuff to sort & Winter flowering shrubs.
Monday 6th January 2020: I have enjoyed having John at home for three weeks but this morning I am also happy to have the place back to myself as he goes off to work early. I think it’s the sense of back to normality and there is definitely a lot to be said for doing…

A timely encounter, festive preparations and the Solstice 😀
Monday 16th December 2019: I feel that this blog deserves a full date as it will be the last one for this year. I was going to do a round of pictures and I will if I can but the upload times are probably going to be very long so I may abandon it 😜…

Cranberry Sauce
Just a quickie blog post 😀 Yesterday I made the Cranberry Sauce to go with our Christmas dinner and of course it goes well with pork pie or even on a baked Camembert and it is the easiest thing to make. So if you want to feel that some of your dinner is indeed home…

Windy, a passing & a family feast.
Monday 9th December: Oooo we are getting closer, not to Christmas but to the Solstice 😀 I am writing this at 7.30am on Monday morning ( that’s approx 15 hrs of darkness 🙄) and it’s still dark outside 😏 I have bumbled round and done as many indoor jobs as I can and am waiting…

Cat & mouse, cockerels & the Sky.
Sunday evening Dec 1st: Sometimes on a Sunday evening after the blog has been published there are things I like to tell you about, tonight is one of those evenings. A real live game of cat and mouse was played out in the undercover back area. I think we don’t have many mice as I…
