Sunday 31 January 2010 Gordon has never been a ‘dedicated follower of fashion’, much to the girls’ disgust and my despair. He wears what he wants, when he wants: he can’t bear it when his jeans touch his shoes or his jumpers are ‘baggy’. He’d sooner stand naked in the snow than wear a tie [...]

Photo Shoot
Posted in family, home, photography on 29 January 2010 | 2 Comments »
Friday 29 January 2010 As you know I have two daughters, both of whom I consider to be very beautiful as every mother probably does (except mine really are, of course). Although Alexandra is no longer a teenager she still has that teenage worry that she’s ugly. Yesterday she spent some of her birthday money [...]
All Dressed Up …
Posted in cats, Eating Out, family, farm, friends, home on 26 January 2010 | 4 Comments »
Tuesday 26 January 2010 I’ve showered, done my hair, put on my face and some decent clothes ready to go out, but it’s not happening. It’s approaching 4.30 pm and I’m still here. I need to go to the bank, the post office and have yet to check out the sales for left-over Christmas stuff. [...]
Another Freecycle Experience
Posted in cats, crafts, Freecycle, home on 18 January 2010 | 3 Comments »
Monday 18 January 2010 Once again the clearing bug has come upon me (unfortunately it happens so infrequently) and I’ve been listing things on Freecycle or Ebay depending on the condition of them as well as ease of delivery. The large sewing cabinet mother-in-law left behind when she headed for the sanctuary of a bungalow [...]
How much sugar do you need?

Saturday 16 January 2010 Since the cold weather began my car has refused to start. We’ve indulgently muttered things like “it doesn’t like the cold” and hoped that as it got warmer the damn thing would come to its senses and do the decent thing. In the meantime I’ve been driving Gordon’s Land Rover on [...]
Ice Ferns

Friday 8 January 2010 I love to see this ice pattern on glass in the morning. I didn’t have my camera with me today so a phone photo will have to suffice even though the image isn’t as clear. I don’t know what the official name is, but I always think of them as ice [...]
Oh Look, Snow!

Thursday 7 January 2010 I know from my regular blog forays that a lot of you have had snow for ages, but we only got it yesterday. There seems to be an invisible line from Bristol across the country and areas below it usually get snow much later than everyone else, if it arrives at [...]
Happy New Year

Saturday 2 January 2010 I turned my computer on this evening for the first time since Christmas. I’ve quite missed spending some time with it but have obviously done other things instead. It’s amazing what you can achieve when you’re not slaving over a hot keyboard. The bills and invoices are glorious in their absence: [...]
