Recently spotted in my overgrown jungle… Only this time last year it was blue! This hydrangea is a new addition to our garden, back when I took better care of everything. It was such a pretty blue. Don’t get me wrong, pink is a lovely colour too. I have been reading about how you can…

As the head cook and bottle washer in our house, I get some weird requests sometimes. Anything from how I chop the carrots up, to ‘why don’t we have sweetcorn any more?’ This last request really confused me. ‘Can we have smaller meals please?’ None of us are the size we want to be, so…

I forgot ‘Why’…

I was pulled up twice yesterday in quick succession. I had just spent the afternoon re reading the first 8 chapters of my new story, Swan Song and was feeling just a little smug that everything seemed to be on track. Then I decided to finish reading Beyond Dark: Belladonna, a new detective mystery, by…

This week has been full of ups and downs, and some of the downs have been spectacularly bad. After everything I have had to put up with the past year, I thought I had beaten the miseries, but it turns out I am human after all. But enough about that… I have been doing some…

I almost deleted our website yesterday, as I was so tired of the endless struggling and getting nowhere. I knew something had to give, and thought it would be me. Still could be me, I suppose. I was quite prepared to struggle on, trying to make everything work, but sadly, this doesn’t seem…

Early last year, or maybe it was the year before, I had the idea to update our website. You may remember that it didn’t go well, and our website was a bit of a mess for a while. A lot has happened since then, but just recently, that old annoyance has made another appearance. You…

I had a strong desire to walk around Petersfield Pond today. It was the perfect day to see what Mother Nature was doing. But no available transport, sigh. I would just have to look through my photographs of a previous visit. I thought I could stagger out to the garden, not quite the same thing,…

I wanted to be silent today too, as I didn’t want to share bad news anymore. I have been trying to relax, do what I can manage, pottering around at my own speed, which these days, is snail’s pace. I am terrified of falling again, and although I make sure to move slowly, there are…

I am still struggling to get my thoughts in order, and this thing in my head is not helping. I want to feel relieved that help might be on the way, but for some reason, my mind won’t rest. I must admit to allowing this, as I am too tired to argue with anything. Even…

I have never liked waiting, so faced with yet another wait, I am more confused than ever. Half of me would love to have a good think, to sort out the muddle in my head. And to be honest, I have tried to think it out. But whatever is going on inside my head, it…
