Oh WHAT a week! It’s almost Christmas and here I sit with hardly any presents bought, only half of the deccies up and a house that looks like a midden! Now, the reason for this sorry state of affairs, is in part due to extra rescue shifts and Christmas gatherings with friends and family. Today, …
After the week we recently spent in Bath I swore, SWORE on my mothers’ thimble that I would never go back to that apartment…..the one on the top of that horribly steep hill…..but after receiving this email from our lovely landlady Liz, I had a change of heart and booked another week, next summer….WHAT have …
Our week in Bath was mostly enjoyable. The dogs absolutely loved their city break, and of course, as it is a city of culture, bandanna’s were worn and they were on their best behaviour, apart from the occasional sneaky wrestle. At times they almost looked refined! The apartment we stayed at was at the top …
I was surprised to see honey bees, flies and ladybirds all over the fatsia flowers, it is nearly December is it not? It takes a while to adapt to these long dark nights, but in a way I’m rather grateful for them as I now spend a few hours each evening sorting cupboards and generally …

While I am trying to fix the timed- out comment problem….please copy your replies in case you are timed out. A view from my greenhouse through CLOSED doors…..dogs have to run and all that! I have spent the week hiding in there! The weather this last week has matched my health! It has been wild, …
Over the last week there has been a steady influx of tiny hoglets. They are about the size of golfballs and are amazingly cute. This one is supposed to be tucked up under that towel but instead prefers to run around the top of it! You would be surprised at how much food these babies …
At the moment, it seems to be a bit of a battle trying to get anything done….at all! Everywhere I look, jobs need doing. The windows are taking on a stain-glassed/mottled-spiderweb appearance as it’s been so long since I cleaned them and the ironing is beginning to take over the house! Every time I go …
