Hello! Happy Friday! Oh and by the way you guys are just about the most amazing bunch of people I have ever come across. Seriously, to give that much thought and consideration to the question of a forum posed yesterday was invaluable to me. Each reason for and against was totally valid and had merit. [...]

Hello and Happy Friday! I’m back to pottering. With the drama of the last few months less acute and with the worry subsiding somewhat I’ve taken refuge, as my own sort of healing process, in pottering. This is what I do, it’s what I’ve always done even when trying to follow another life path, and [...]

Good morning! It’s sunny here in West Sussex, sunny but very chilly. When I look out of the window I can imagine that it’s balmy and warm and then I see that the trees are bare and I know that the breeze is in no way cooling but freezing. But, BUT, the sun is out [...]

There is a corner at the end of the hall that doesn’t have an awful lot going on in it. It’s a lovely space with a window right there so the light that is thrown in is delicious. It needed something doing with it and I had two pieces that I’d had in mind for [...]

I went outside early yesterday morning, it was my turn to take the rubbish out to the bin. I breathed in the morning air and felt it fill my lungs with freshness. Morning air is my favourite as it holds so much promise. The promise of a new day with new adventures. A clean slate, [...]

As I write this the twins are in bed, Robert is making supper and I have feet that are tired so they are tingling a little. It’s nice to be sitting down, tapping on the keyboard and be able to see Robert pottering in my peripheral vision. We’ve hit this year running and already time [...]

I sometimes find myself wandering around the house and simply fiddling. Moving this pot to that windowsill or shifting a chair from one corner to another. Pottering is the technical term and I’m a world champion at it. They say it takes ten thousand hours of doing something to become an expert at it. I [...]

The speed with which it all changes around here amazes me still. I’d started to take the gazebo down but this weekend we have to finish it. I’d say that the Marguerite’s are kinda done for the year also, don’t you think! Hmmmm! Crunchy underfoot and deliciously cosy. We’ll be out here this weekend trussed [...]

What I should have mentioned yesterday was that there were about another six or seven pictures of piles of laundry that I could have shown you. I don’t mind showing you at all but it became so boring to upload them all that I stopped at a certain point as I was due to have [...]
