You haven't heard me say much about the Tuesday Challenge, something I personally started a little over two years ago (October 2023 to be exact) recently. And in fact, I only update it, or revisit it every once in a...

There’s a smell of decay and nostalgia floating in the night air here. Someone’s been burning the autumn leaves they’ve raked up in their garden and I’m loving it. Smells like this take me back to various times in my life, happy...

Fleur @xFiacre No, just a distinctive smell of water, slightly muddy, and riverside plants including meadowsweet.

We live in a little cul-de-sac of five houses and on bin day we have to take our wheelie bins to the end of the road – and then back once they’ve been emptied, obviously. We never like to leave the bins out there too long...
