Writing to me, is simply thinking through your fingers ~ Isaac Isamov
Today I found the charger to an Eee PC that was my work horse for a number of years until it was replaced with a shiny big screened Dell. Regrettably I haven’t turned it on for years, but have had a lovely couple of hours reuniting myself with old writings, classic tunes and best of…
My admiration of well pedicured feet (I know people can see me looking – but how do they make their feet look pretty?). The amount of time spent reading posts such as ‘the definitive ranking of banana flavoured things on Buzzfeed (regardless of how compelling and potentially useful this information may be). My obsession with…
Today, a play date with my Goddaughter and her Mummy, finding out that socks and sandals are bang on trend (no, really) and surviving gift shopping with a teething toddler. Just. I am also attempting to make this cake as it is my Mama’s birthday tomorrow. Except our shop doesn’t sell rose water so I’ve…
I have few regrets in life, but one of them is that I didn’t choose the right subject for my undergraduate degree.

We have a family friend that sporadically pops in to see us for no reason in particular, but often present us with some peculiar find from one of the many car boot sales he frequents. It is often a bit of a challenge to decide what to do with these things, especially on the odd…
Today I put on some tweed, and thereafter felt a sudden need to plan a day ahead that would match my outfit. As luck would have it, a free range mother came wondering past as inspiration struck, and we thus bundled ourselves into my little ‘blue bullet’ and headed for ‘The Vyne’, (a National Trust…
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.
A happy littering of serendipity has befallen me lately. This year so far I am back in touch with at least four people that I haven’t spoken to in years, and it’s been truly lovely to catch up on all the news and latest plans for cars/babies/extensions/holidays/hair do’s, and another opportunity to extend my straw…
