Well, that’s the end of September then. October will be here tomorrow. In a way it’s a relief to get to the end of September because we can now stop saying things like ‘it’s not very summery, is it?’ and saying ‘isn’t it autumnal?’ Autumn seems to be on track with a [...]

Can you eat these?

Monday 29 September 2008
Does anyone know if these are edible? They don’t smell very nice but the hedgerows are scarlet with the berries and it seems a shame you can’t do anything with them. The flesh is buttery but I haven’t tasted it just in case I poison myself. One of these days, I’ll get [...]
Autumn Harvest

Sunday 28 September 2008
It’s been a lovely day today despite the early mist which took a long time to clear. The crane-flies bumbled around in the grass when I went to fetch the cows this afternoon and there was a stillness in the air that typifies autumn. For once, the neighbours’ bonfire just added to [...]
I’m Back Again!

Saturday 27 September 2008
OK, so when I said I was back last week I may have been slightly exaggerating for although I was back in body it took a lot longer for the rest of me to catch up. On top of my weekend away and what I fondly recall as ‘jetlag’ (the flight was [...]

Sunday 21 September 2008
I returned from Glasgow this morning, weary and worn-out from a long weekend during which I partied, shopped, met many relatives of my friends and was treated to meals out. My friends were more than generous, refusing to allow me to pay for anything and generally spoiling me rotten so thank you [...]
No Photos because ….

Wednesday 17 September 2008
….. I’m packing a bag to take to Glasgow and my camera’s in it! Oddly enough I feel a bit bereft about my lack of photo-taking in the past couple of days probably because it’s become a habit to take my camera with me. If nothing else my blog has made me [...]
Lonely Swan (Part Two)

Monday 15 September 2008
This guy (or possibly girl – I’m not that good at determining the sex of swans, but I assume it’s a male) is still cruising the ditches all on his own. He hisses at us now and again, but Gordon took him a crust of bread and he was much friendlier after [...]
To Cheltenham and back

Saturday 13 September 2008
We set off to Cheltenham yesterday, Alex and I, to deliver her to the new house with her many belongings. The journey there was uneventful and we found the house quickly enough. Finding somewhere to park was another story as she obviously wasn’t the only person moving in to the street! I [...]

And Gordon too, of course! Today is our 21st Wedding Anniversary so tonight we’ll be out celebrating with our friends Viv and Greg as it’s Greg’s birthday as well.
Apologies for my absence of a couple of days. Life has been hectic, what with Steph starting College, Alex getting ready to go back [...]

If you are a lover of words (like wot I are) you should check out this website, as recommended on another blog I visit regularly, Somerset Seasons. The website is called Wordle and simply because I now know how to do it, click here to take you directly to the right place! [...]
