  • 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…

  • Here’s our wedding photo from 2008. The reason I’m putting this here is because when I updated Facebook to put that I’m married, it immediately assumed I meant we’d got married on that day. So it doesn’t know much does it? I’m 12,000 words into the next book in the Redington/Country Matters series. This one’s…

  • Look what just landed on the doormat. How lovely and now I’m off to the garden with a cuppa and a ham and mustard cob to read through. I’ve started a new job this week, and getting into the swing of it. The people are friendly and the hours still give me time to go…

  • Special people – happy times

  • I won this lovely bag of wool. Summerlite cotton double knitting. Tons of it, so I’m knitting a new summer jumper for myself. All we had to do on the Simply knitting link is say what’s on our needles at the moment. It was the tea cosy, made from left over bits. I’m thrilled as…
