http://www.write1sub1.com/ I’m having a go at this. Ray Bradbury’s idea of writing a piece of fiction and submitting one each week of the year. I’ve finished typing up my latest story for People’s Friend, and I’ve got another idea to write up, so it’s going to plan so far. I’m still writing the novel, which…

It was a lovely sunny day here in Warwickshire, ideal for planting some bulbs. The pack said to plant by end of December, so they’ll make a splash of colour in mid to late spring. I love to grow lettuce in the winter months, the variety rosetta gives shiny leaves and tastes quite sweet. The…

Thought I’d pop in a poll for the New Year, and just to show off that I can:)) More on People’s Friend as I’ve been reading it as there’s not much on t.v. is there? The best day was Friday, as we should have gone back to work, but I’d not…

Moving on from my last post which was slightly cynical for the festive season, but I do like to write something ‘different’ whenever I can. The Christmas double issue of People’s Friend is fabulous.

I love commenting on blogs, and it’s great when people reply to mine, thanks Patsy for this lovely chatty badge. It reminds me of the comics I used to read with the speech in them. What was your favourite comic? Mine was The Beezer, it was like a big newspaper and was full of great characters. …

The market field was muddy on Sunday, but luckily we have a nifty little vehicle that loves driving through muddy fields. Best selling items were light bulbs, children’s pictures, diarys, we even sold some of our chrysanths from the garden. I just can’t resist putting them on again they’re so beautiful. I picked up a…

Here’s some pictures of my lovely abums. All through childhood I called all flowers abums. Reason being that my Grandad and Grandma has a plant nursery, and the topics of conversation that I always overheard at this time of the year were ‘lovely chrysanthemums’ They grew fields full of beautiful blooms for market, or customers who…
