I could feel the stirrings of something new and very different yesterday. I didn’t dwell on it too much, as there hasn’t been much good news lately, and I didn’t want to scare it off. But even though I tried to ignore it, the feeling persisted. I was beginning to feel very different. Dare I…

There are bright blue skies and sunshine today, a pleasant surprise after so many grey and miserable days.#I slipped on my flip flops and ventured outside, hoping for some signs of Spring. There were no buds on the bonsai, and everywhere I looked, there were dark, bare, empty branches. No other welcome signs of Spring.…

I needed some light relief this morning, so what could be better than a happy, joyous moment from last Summer? Two adventurous magpies, playing among my bonsai… I hope they come back this year! Love Jaye 💖💖

We are coming across more and more coincidences in our family lately. You know the ones I mean, where you have just been discussing something, when literally minutes later, someone will mention this same thing on the programme we are watching. Sometimes, the subject matter is so unusual, you can’t help wondering if something else…

The weather here in the south of England has turned really cold. A bitter wind from the Arctic is doing its best to freeze our toes off. It is almost too cold for rational or creative thought, but I am doing my best and managing to enjoy working on the current WIP. Our year probably…

Morning everybody! It is really cold here in the UK now, unusually cold for us, with temperatures as low as -5 in the south and a staggering -10 in Scotland. We cannot keep the house warm, and we are walking around like Eskimos! There is a bright side to all this weather; we have been…

Back in the saddle, and a very Happy New Year, everyone! There once was a majestic bonsai tree, regal and noble, the best in my bonsai collection. Then something happened to me, and I could no longer take care of any of them. Members of my family took turns watering, with me watching helplessly from…

Big Ben has always been a very special symbol in my life. I grew up in London, and the deep resonant tones of the bell and the imposing majesty of the building are one of the most enduring memories of my time there.London has many such landmarks and I love them all, but that tall…

Despite everything, I am looking forward to Christmas, the way a child does, I expect. I am feeling like a very stroppy child these days, one that is being denied so many things. But… I intend to forget all about the trials and tribulations, the struggle to write, or do anything constructive for that matter.…
