Last week I awoke to a winter wonderland. Everything was transformed and blanketed with a thick layer of snow. Nature sure does put my art to shame! I trotted out to feed Curly cat, who was not at all impressed. She kept on giving me the slow blink as though this was all my fault. She gobbled …
The rescue remains unnaturally quiet as hardly any wildlife has been brought in over the last month, which is most odd. Having said that, the wildlife unit is still full so it’s a good thing. This little hog may be coming to live with me in the spring. It has some sort of special needs, …
Well, it’s a new year and it’s a lovely to watch the stars that shine so brightly on these cold winter nights. Each day becomes a little longer and I hear the song of more and more birds who are beginning to sing, along with sound of the endless drip, drip, dripping. It’s been such a wet year and …
Finally I have a day to myself where nothing is planned! Phew!!! How very wonderful! Ever since daughter and I acted as ghost walk guides it seems to have been an endless whirlwind of activity. Nights out, family gatherings, endless meals, shifts at the rescue….all very enjoyable but also somewhat exhausting. I’m yearning for long walks …
Well, Christmas is definitely getting closer and now the world hasn’t ended, I’m beginning to get things done. The decorations are now up, but given how many boxes of things I wrestled down from the loft, I’m always amazed how they disappear throughout the house and seem so few, when up. I’ve had most of my decorations for years …
As Christmas draws ever closer I suddenly realise how much I need to do. Presents need to be bought, cards written, get togethers attended….and being the last minute type, I’m finally launching myself into action….well…after a fashion! The decorations are up in the village and charities are collecting everywhere. This skiffle group are hilarious. They collect …
Recently, I’ve been out and about in the city and, as we’ve had a lovely crisp weekend, I decided to blow away the cobwebs and take a long walk through the old ruins in the dunes in Formby. Here you’ll find the remains of old houses that have long since been abandoned as the sea crept …

The last few weeks at the rescue have been rather remarkable, to say the least! I mentioned a few weeks back that the rescue had taken in two ten week old staffy puppies that had been found in a park. They had been doused in chemicals that resulted in one being blinded and the other …
Recently the weather has been wild, wet and windy and this looks set to continue for a while. There are so many jobs that need doing in the garden….sigh…and I have NO idea where to start! Today I was considering clearing a few leaves, but, a friend is dropping in with ….erm….a couple of bottles …
Some of you may remember the auction at the Village Museum that I went to recently. Y’know, the one where I totally lost the plot and ended up buying all sorts of stuff, including the stocks, the potato digger, the large barrows and all sorts of other bits and pieces. Along with the big pieces …
