Willy Wonka Scareceow Trail 2014

Scarecrow Trail

Posted on June 4, 2014June 4, 2014 by Amy

The village of Sonning in Berkshire hold an annual Scarecrow Trail. If you know anything about the residents of Sonning, you will know that a charity shop suit stuffed with straw would never hold muster. A collection of 2014 entries: Indian food served on the street, the chance to nose around residents gardens. Pimms. I…

So what would you both like to do, seeing as it’s Dad’s birthday on the same day as Mothering Sunday? Ok. Advice on tree hugging can be found here.

Snow and Moustaches

Posted on February 23, 2012February 23, 2012 by Amy

My dear other half celebrated a birthday with a ‘0’ in it earlier this month. It was an impromptu evening, which quite often turn out to be the best sorts, in my opinion. He got a Ukulele, we played ‘pass the parcel’, drank an unrestricted amount of wine, and it snowed. We keep company with unusual sorts….

So this is what happened…

Posted on January 23, 2012January 24, 2012 by Amy

In approximately a week’s time my beloved and I were set to pack our lives into suitcases, give our house keys to some select strangers in return for rent money, and move to the United States of America. Boston, in fact. One however can not always foresee the visa application process not following its intended…

Happy Birthday

Posted on February 6, 2011February 6, 2011 by Amy

Happy Birthday to my Husband. That’s two of us now a year away from the big ‘3’ ‘0’. Depressingly it will always be me that reaches these milestones first and the toy boy won’t let me forget it. I am finding that this age offers interesting juxtapositions. A happy afternoon was spent recently hiding from…

Thanks

Posted on January 31, 2011February 1, 2011 by Amy

To all of my mad ex colleagues, Thanks for my balloons, the explosion of pink on my desk,  my ‘I O U M Y M A S S Y’ banner (didn’t like to admit that took me a while), my Michelin restaurant afternoon tea voucher and other random lovely bits, my customised hoodie (which is…

“Don’t forget to give me a ring….”

Posted on December 31, 2008December 31, 2008 by Amy

Something I quite often shout up the stairs to Neil in the morning as I fly out of the door to work, mostly when a decision needs to be made about when the electrician should come, whether we should have sausage and mash when Amanda comes round for dinner, or if I should buy some…

Sticky Stuff

Posted on October 26, 2007 by Amy

Seven days seems like a long time having not put fingers to keyboard here and I’ve missed it. Indeed, it has just been one of those most irritating sort of weeks where there has always been something demanding my immediate attention – leaving me absolutely no provision for carrying out any essential maintenance tasks such as eyebrow sculpting, moisturising  elbows or engaging in full body exfoliation (my plan is…

A promised post

Posted on September 20, 2007September 20, 2007 by Amy

Iain: “This is probably going to end up on your blog isn’t it”. Yep. Today Iain celebrated managing to survive two whole summers with us in ‘Planning Policy’ which, along with all of the obvious benefits of gaining solid work experience, has been useful in providing further confirmation that upon leaving University, Iain does not wish to pursue a Planning career….

About

Hi, I’m Amy. I love the outdoors, blowy walks, tractors, cups of tea and sturdy hugs. I’ve been writing random musings for more than 20 years in an attempt to figure out ‘what it’s all about’. I still don’t know. This could be a very long blog.
