Yesterday, I worked from home due to no trains running because of the snow. I can’t say that I did a full 7.5 hours work, but then I probably don’t do this when I’m actually in the Library of Doom either. At least I got some things done so I didn’t have to do them [...]

Poor tomatoes

Well, I was going to put the poor tomatoes out of their misery today, but so far we have had snow and then heavy, almost horizontal rain, so I have decided that perhaps I will refrain from gardening today. The sun is coming out now, so perhaps I’ll go and sort the tomatoes out later. [...]

Yesterday started off being quite Monday-ish, although I can’t really complain, as most of the Monday-ishness was self-inflicted! It started off with some grey weather and me putting on my shoes with holes in thinking that it would be OK. Silly me. Very shortly, the grey weather turned into wet weather and I had soggy socks and [...]
It really is Autumn

It’s grey, windy and wet. Leaves are being blown from trees and doing their little whirly dances down to the ground. On the way home from church we saw about five squirrels scurrying about doing whatever it is squirrels do. They didn’t seem to be burying anything, but they were probably looking for food amongst [...]
The rain falls

Yes, it does! It is extremely wet and windy here this morning. Yuck. I’m a bit worried about the newly planted-out peppers, because they have been soaked twice in the last two days. I’m not sure whether too much water is good for them. The poor pansies and the lavender have been battered down and [...]
Like the drip, drip, drip of the raindrops…

I love that song. I’m not so keen on the water that’s currently dripping through our kitchen ceiling. At first we thought it was the bath leaking somewhere inside and dripping down through into the floor and then through the ceiling. However, we have now discovered a second leak coming from through from the spare room, [...]

This morning Mr C and I went for a walk from my parents’ house down to the village and through the fields and back again. It was a really beautiful spring day, and it was good to be outside. I really love the countryside around my home town. It’s quintessentially English, I suppose – mainly farms and [...]

I’m not lost, just undiscoveredJames Morrison
This morning I really enjoyed my journey to work. It was a bright, beautiful morning, the countryside was picturesque and I even spotted a rabbit – it must be spring. And yet, it isn’t, not offiicially anyway. It’s still cold and I’m sure we have more rain on the way, but [...]
