The weather has warmed a little but it’s still only around 3/4c most days, sometimes with a heavy fog, plenty of conspiracy theories online about this 🙄 We have managed to do a bit outside although there comes a point when fingers and toes are protesting a lot and that’s the time for me to…

Happy New Year 🥳
I totally lost my way when it came to the blog during the last year, I started writing a piece so many times that I have a plethora of drafts I now need to delete! What was wrong? Writers block, lack of confidence, nothing to say? A combination of those and more I suppose but…

Monday 12th February 2023: Wowzers I logged on to see a message from WordPress wishing me happy anniversary, 13 years I have been blogging, that’s some dedication isn’t it 😂 The sun has shone beautifully today and my first job was to walk up to the church and meet the lady in charge as I…

The weather is up and down and my tooth is out!
Monday 15th January 2024: We had a beautiful warm glow sky this morning, it didn’t last long and when I stepped outside it was trying to snow. There was a good frost which is much needed but I prefer the days that warm as they go and I don’t think we are going to get…

Monday 8th January 2024: It is a tad colder now and at least the rain has stopped. This morning a flock of long tailed tits arrived which nearly always suggests a period of cold weather looming. I spent the first couple of hours trying to sort out appointments etc, trying being the operative word as…
