My friends are getting married today. Not a big life-changing moment as they have been together a long time and got engaged 25 years ago, shortly after I got to know them. It’s just a quiet ceremony with them and two witnesses, of...

Following up on my last post, I just wondered what you call this kind of toy?

Sometimes it seems that ‘we’, in this country, are turning away from our local produce and going for more exotic things. For example in the supermarket you can buy bananas, papayas, pineapples, mangoes, kiwis, even dragonfruit,...

We had friends to stay at the weekend and they brought with them a motion-activated night-vision camera. They set it up opposite what is obviously a well-trodden gap in the fence between us and our next-door-neighbours, and were...

Our local amateur dramatics group has a lot of props and other bits and pieces stored in a building belonging to the local pub, but now they want their space back to keep their garden furniture. So the group have bought a storage...

It’s definitely spring, for the past few days I’ve been seeing bumblebees out and about and even a butterfly or two. I had a surprise this morning when I went to get my wash-bag from the bathroom and found this big queen bumblebee...
