  • We’re fully stocked with salad leaves. At the moment it’s all year round lettuce, spinach and rocket leaves available in the kitchen garden. And growing on we have yellow courgettes, mini munch cucumber, tomatoes, money maker are my favourite variety. As well, we have normal cucumber, green courgettes, dwarf beans, and dwarf peas, lots of…

  • What a wonderful day, here in Warwickshire today. Blue sky, blossoms blooming and a lovely walk and chatter with my writing buddy and pal, Patsy Davies. It so happened that she and hubby Gary were passing through the leafy county and stopped off to look around Kenilworth Castle. Time flew by and the writing chatter…

  • Are you seeing signs of springtime around and about? Here’s a few pictures I captured in the garden earlier that show it’s only a matter of time before we have an explosion of colour and prettiness abound. Hope you enjoy the array of springtime flowers. Do you remember I was going to have a wardrobe…

  • First of all, you will have these pocket novels delivered to your door every month. I had the bottom two today and can’t wait to read them. Second, if you’re aiming to write a pocket novel and get it published, the only way to know what the editor wants is to read what she is…

  • Hope the weather isn’t too bad where you are. It’s cold and a bit bleak in the midlands, but we’re still able to go to work. And I’ve been to the gym three times last week. How is it that you can take months to get fit and then after two weeks of mince pies,…

  • Wishing everyone who follows my blog, and other places, a very Happy New Year – 2017. It doesn’t seem a minute since last time does it?

  • We had fun today, opening presents with Ann and Sophie as they’re going to her other gran and grandad’s for Christmas Day. Here is the must have p’j’s – clangers and the unicorn handbag for all the best dressed girls about town. And in the middle picture, pink fluffy marshmallow dressing gown for when a…

  • When your Dad has his 80th birthday, it’s a good reason to do a blog post. There’s me and Sister Sal with Mom and Dad helping him to eat his lovely cake and sharing a cup of tea. We, or rather, I tried doing a photo of us all together but it turned out rubbish,…

  • I’ve made one of my own. Reason being, we had some banana loaf that needed eating. It’s now the base of the trifle with some blackberry jam on. Then a layer of mandarins, red jelly and custard, with the topping you see here. One good thing about the weather getting colder, is that we have…

  • Just back from a few days in the English Riviera. This time we found time to go on the Torquay Eye, that’s the view from the top. We also had chance to check up on the country estate, it was in a bit of a state, but the gardens are fabulous. Anybody know where it…
