I just realised recently how many of my posts are about food! Followed by plants... or food and plants!
Nevertheless here’s another food-related post.
I was just telling the girls the other day that when I was growing up there...

Ages ago Little One decided she wanted to make an old-fashioned quill pen. I can’t even remember now what sparked that idea!
So some time not long afterwards I was cycling past an open space near the river where large numbers of...

Today I came across a list of some awesome old fashioned habits that I wish would be brought back into the dating world. Today, dating seems...

In the back of my mind, I go back in time. I am a young girl again, visiting with my grandparents for Christmas.
I can still see the tree, it was beautiful to me.
It was a scrubby red cedar, cut from the pasture. Probably four...

Looking through Pixabay for a particular image this morning I came across this one. As I sat and looked at it I realized that it's appeal for me is beyond what I expected.
I have never really thought about it before but I am...

I was looking for a photo we (my sister and I) took 30 years ago so I could post it here. It was a photo of my sister's children with my children in the woods while camping. If I ever find it (I know its here somewhere), I will...

It's not the easiest thing to walk on egg shells in your own home. I'm very laid back and I don't get mad over most things but trying to parent my kids in my home is something I have a hard time with. I don't want to be...

I found a quaint little thrift shop the other day in who knows what little town I happen to be in. I got lost, really lost. I was trying to go to Cedar Key here in Florida and somehow got off course.
While wandering around the...

I have to laugh at this, but in a kind and gentle way. When I was a kid my parents took square dance lessons, therefore, so did I at the local Y. I'll tell you, it's good exercise that's for sure. I guess it is fitting that I...

I'm afraid there are several food items I miss. If I had a year to think about it, I could probably name 20 or more. But on the spur of the moment, I can still think of a few. Can you? Will you tell us what they were?

In the old days, not too long ago, women were required to remain at the house, keeping it clean and attending the children, while the man was out of the house trying to bring the daily sustenance.
This changed back in the sixties...

I think seeing how people used to do things. Hopefully, you are seeing one of the things on a wall at my grandmother's house, in her kitchen. She called it a "kraut cutter". That's what was used to cut the cabbage that would down...

Though I never smoked in my life, smoking in public places never bothered me before the ban on it in the UK. I actually miss the smoky atmosphere in some bars. What I do hate is the new electric cigarette craze which some former...
