I inherited a lot of random things from my parents, and I know what most of them are, but this one was a mystery. It’s been hanging around in my bedroom for several years already while we occasionally fiddled with it and wondered...

My friend Helen, who died a few weeks ago, had some particular quirks, and one of those which everyone remembers is that she never wore trousers.

Regular readers of my posts will probably know that I rarely buy brand new things. Most of my books, kitchen ware, furniture and clothes are second hand. Often from charity shops, though I have also inherited a lot of clothes from...

The first was a bird, which came swooping along behind me as I cycled along a residential street, zooming over the ground at a height of...

@JudyEv this is for you!
Our local bluebells are at their best right now. I’m making excuses to go for walks in the woods whenever I can. They have a lovely delicate scent as well. When the flowers carpet the forest floor they...

Today I have plans to do lots of things outdoors. Not just because it’s spring here and therefore there are many gardening jobs to do - although of course it is, and there are - but because I seem to feel better outside.

I inherited a lot of things from my mother when she died 11 years ago (incidentally, today was her birthday) and since she kept everything, there were also things from her mother and from her aunt (who had no children) as well....
