Well, I got the invite, but they wouldn't let my glass slippers through customs, so I went home and ate the packet of lemone canoli that I'd bought as a wedding present. :)

Stop hiding, and come to mama! Picked a cupfull, perfect for my breakfast bowl in the morning. They realy are in a hedge, not a garden. Must be escapees. had to battle brambles and nettles to get them. My eagle eyes spotted them from across the road while I was walking and chatting to a local...

Exciting weekend .not! Farmers market sat morning, stock up on cheese, gluten free burgers for another month, have my monthly cuddle and play with the basket makers dog gracie, a real poppet, then a picnic lunch and paddle in the river, hunt for crayfish, no luck so far even though they are...

Well, they are back! Even had one jump out of the paper recycling bin as I put it out on Monday. I was just lowering it down onto the drive, and the blighter made a jump for freedom. Then I had one run over my feet when dozing in the garden under the sun brolly. Traps are back down, one they...

We have just suffered our third power cut in a week. So far they have been at night, so I'm not sure how long they lasted, but I woke this morning with my electric bedside clock , radio flashing yet again. This will tell me that it's been 1 hr or however long since the power was restored. Not a...

Found a lucet in the charity shop for 50p. Cordage is underway!

That's why I'm not actualy claiming I predicted it, just my knowledge of geophysical activity, and studying the solar maximum , made me feel there was a strong 90% possibility, I certainly didn't expect it to happen so soon after I said it. I trust my instincts more than anything else, and I'm...

It's definitely not the tap. I've put a bowl of water into it from empty, doesn't even come up to the tap. It's leaking from underneath somewhere. It's a pretty fast leak, so I'd notice if it was the tap. No wetness there at all. I've been busy today at the town open gardens event, gathering...

Cooler today thank goodness. Lots of cloud cover, nice little breeze, and rain predicted mid morning, warming up again later this afternoon. Much cooler sleep last night, didn't wake up in a melting mess. House down to 22 degrees. I sent my wool duvet off to the cleaners, as I don't need it...

Just don't forget, and end up trying to make a t shirt salad! :) That's a brilliant idea.

Wooo! I like the summer sun, but I'm struggling with 26 degrees nowadays. We had a few short showers this morning, but it barely wet a thing. Its muggy, in need of a thunderstorm. Still had to water my pots this evening. Though the veg beds, being close planted are faring better. Does anyone...

I don't know why I mentioned the hawaii volcano earlier, just a stream of consciousness post I guess. Just seen that kilauea on hawaii has erupted today with a lava fountain 1,000 feet high. The post that showed it is only an hour old., I said it at about 2pm uk time. It's now 7.37pm Spooky...

Sadly, my bank balance won't aĺow that dream. I might be able to afford an old and tatty second hand 10 foot caravan tho! :)

Thing is, if this lot can get away with it, it opens the gates for some seriously bad actors to wreak a great deal of damage with ease and little culpability untill the job is done. Too late then to wring hands and wail. Sadly Britain is an easy target nowadays considering the threats to our...

Well I'm seeing reports of sabs on scooters, getting into Brize Norton and sabotaging planes, then getting away unchallenged. Oops! Sleeper cells activating? I'm not gonna go into details, as it might be deemed political, but its out there on yt. Seems mainstream media are keeping very quiet...

Definitely nor. I've been going to bed early, about 8pm, and getting up about 4.30, and working in the garden early morning from about 5am, then going indoors about 11am and staying inside with my cooling fan, untill about 4 or 5pm, then back out to go to the shop and eat, then do the watering...

I've walked this path almost every day for 25 years.

I didn't get any on my phone, but there were some taken by others, I'll try and get a copy.....are you sure you can handle a pic of old ladies at a vicarage garden party? Here is one I took, with the only children there.

Phew! A real scorcher today. 27 degrees outside in the shade, but the top of the garden was 36, and the house is a stifling 24, despite doing all the right things, windows and curtains closed, and reflective window shades also installed on south facing windows. Been to the vicars garden party...

My tayberries are still green, those look like they need another week to ripen properly, need to be a deeper colour, almost purple. Good find though. I'm currently keeping an eye on a wild gooseberry Bush. Hoping to harvest sometime this the week. Its cat and mouse with the local council who...
