This morning I had arranged to call on a friend first thing, but when I got there she wasn’t yet back from taking her children to school. Her husband invited me in and made me a coffee, then he told me that he was still only half...

We don’t go to the seaside all that often, because it’s at the very least two hours’ drive from here, and when we do go the closest places have sandy beaches, so there was a lot of excitement this week when we were in part of the...

This week the girls are both away, which is a novel experience! It also means I don’t absolutely have to get up at 7 am which is the normal routine on a school day.

Did you know digital photos have been around for over 100 years?
No, neither did I. But today when I tried to download some photos my computer asked me if I wanted to save those, or some others with the same details taken on 30th...

I’m still sorting through things left after my parents died (more than ten years ago) and that includes things left after my great-aunt and uncle died (in 1974 and ’76) which have been left since then.

Every day I have a quick look at the news, because I kind of feel I ought to know what’s going on in the world even if it is really depressing. But for once I found a little story that really did make me smile.

A couple of years ago we created a large pond in our garden, but the snag was that we were then left with big piles of topsoil, even bigger piles of clay subsoil and two heaps of rocks. And they’re not even good quality rocks,...

Years ago, when Big One was little, I bought a second-hand telescope as a family Christmas present. I thought it would be something interesting we could all do together.

I woke up at 6 this morning, which was a bit annoying as I don’t need to get up until 7. I lay there for a bit listening to the birds just waking up and thinking that I really didn’t want to get up yet, and eventually I must have...

My friends have a student lodger from China. Apparently she is very clever and already has a degree in physics but is now studying medicine. She is the perfect tenant/guest and speaks near perfect English.

A post by @porwest about hardened sugar just brought this to mind.
