Orchids
Orchids are a dream to grow. The plants on my kitchen windowsill require nothing but a little water once a week, and while some people think that orchids are a bit untidy and random – which mine are – they … Continue reading
2012 in pictures
Well I thought about writing a blog reviewing 2012 and then I thought, but hang on uno momento, if a picture is worth 1,000 words, why not just plunder the photo albums? So I did. These are mostly Wales, Gloucestershire, … Continue reading

Vajazzled!
I’m fond of words and still find it quite exciting when I come across a new one that sounds good. I’m a bit like that sappy guy in West Side Story. “Maria, Maria, I’ll never stop saying Maria….” Someone should … Continue reading

A touch of the florals
Came back from a bike ride today and everything in the garden had been refreshed by rain. It all looked quite pretty, so I took a few pics with my phone. Not great quality but carpe diem and all that. … Continue reading

Happy Birthday Mumsie
It’s mum’s birthday today. She would have been 83, a great age. She might have slowed down a bit by now, got a bit grouchy, a bit moany, not feel like going out very much but I doubt it. It’s … Continue reading

Pottering
Sunny afternoon, morning bike ride all done (actually quite knackering with heavy rucksack), swimming later so I rediscovered the garden. Always a bit of a novelty, wandering around the modest plot inspecting how things are after the winter. There was … Continue reading
