Just one thing

Some nights watch the moon travel across the sky and listen to the hum of the house and wonder before i go to sleep what i can do differently tomorrow. Its not difficult to get distracted by a million things. But im sure just one thing would make a difference

then with all this rain, we could row up our lane .. in fact its not that bad, only parts of the road are flooded.. middle of night last night, before another heavy downpour, heard an owl outside, so close it almost sounded like it was on the roof, wondered if it had sneaked in […]

Sewing machine and buzzards

Happily sewing away with my little singer sewing machine.. when small rumble and everything metal underneath the needle fell apart. When my son was very little he used this machine like a racing car, revving the foot part and it never really recovered. But otherwise a beautiful late summer day, noticed 3 or 4 buzzards […]

The meteorite falling to Earth on Friday seemed like something from a film and heard that if impact had been two minutes earlier it would have hit Malmo in Sweden – huge distance in 2 minutes but also heard the north of UK was on same latitude, so a subtle shift in angle and some […]

Waddesdon Manor

    Beautiful Renaissance style Chateau built by Baron Ferdinand de Rothschild waiting for an army of groundsmen to make it sparkle again. We visited on a late winter afternoon, with statues in the grounds still covered and shutters drawn but still possible to imagine how this incredible chateau must look in the spring with shutters open and fountains […]
