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, …
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.

Ingredients for my favourite veggie meal….ever! Veggie fusilli. I can’t remember ever eating meat, so I’ve never had the feeling that I’m missing out on anything. I stopped eating meat when I was about four, and can still remember asking my parents at the dinner table why chicken was called chicken. When my Dad told me the …
