I would much rather put my phone in the drawer for a final time and instead carry a camera, read a map, wear a watch, listen to vinyl albums on a turntable, etc. but sadly these big global telecommunications companies have got us by the Nureyevs...

I have to be thankful for the standard of my dear old ma's cooking because it was she who inspired me to learn to cook myself. I would have died of starvation if I hadn't.

Lovely words to describe such a majestic and beautiful creature. I could watch gulls for hours ... except for when they're trying to steal my kids' chips.

The questionable food is one of the reasons...

The smell and sight of wood
Posted on Thu, 23 Dec 2021
The smell and sight of wood smoke is probably one of my favourite things about winter, even though it's a bit pollutiony. The smoke from the petchkas / wood stoves in our village each winter morning (except when it's windy) creates such a...

Posted on Thu, 23 Dec 2021
When I think of X and Christmas my mind goes back to my son’s obsession with those X-Wing Fighter things that the Hollywood spacemen went about in in Star Wars. They plastic models of them always had wee buttons on them that, when pressed, made a...
