First post of July! The weather continues to be Not Very Good, with plenty of rain and wind and not all that much sunshine. Our strawberries are doing well, though, and our potatoes have done a lot of growing so … Continue reading

It’s almost the end of June and I am tentatively going to say that summer has actually arrived, at least, for the moment! A few of our strawberries have ripened (and been eaten) and our potatoes have finally started peeking … Continue reading

Last week rather ran away from me – I had watched the next two episodes of Malory Towers and made (copious) notes in advance, but ran out of time to turn them into a (semi) coherent review with screen shots. … Continue reading
Monday #583
There are green strawberries on our plants now, and our potatoes have been planted. The one good thing about all the rain we’ve been having is it has meant we haven’t had to go out and water them much. (It’s … Continue reading

We had nice weather over the weekend so the strawberry plants are in – and now we’ve been offered a potato growing bag, so we could have quite the kitchen garden soon. May round up and Malory Towers on … Continue reading

Having been talking about putting a raised bed in the garden and growing some chives and other easy herbs, it was a coincidence that we then got offered some strawberry plants from my cousin. I have now ordered a raised … Continue reading

It has been a bit of a rollercoaster weekend for us – it started out with a leaking shower/bath affecting the flat below us, moved on to us finding a lost cockatiel which Brodie named Kiki, and then ended up … Continue reading

I have the update you have all been waiting for! The sun finally came out! It was hot! We made it to the beach and even into the water! Which got me thinking about bathing. I was just paddling but Brodie lay … Continue reading

I’m having a hard time believing it’s almost May, mostly because it’s STILL chilly. The heating is still on at home, the cosy leggings and coats are still in use. It has been a little warmer now and again when … Continue reading
Monday #576
The audiobook I’ve just finished listening to had two Enid Blyton references in it, not unusual, but the strange thing is that it’s a book I’ve read before yet I hadn’t made a note of it. I have this time, … Continue reading
Monday #575
Apart from going to work I have barely left the house in the past weeks due to a certain spotty little boy. We did get out at the weekend for a walk in the woods, though, where we experienced sun, … Continue reading
Monday #574
I’m back after our few days away – where we had mixed weather. One day of clouds and intermittent rain, one day of constant rain, one day which started out sunny and warm (no coats needed!) then became windy and … Continue reading

I nearly decided to have a week off from blogging this week, as I have come down with that feels like my hundredth lurgy of 2024. (It’s probably only the fourth or fifth, but it is only March!) However I … Continue reading

I briefly looked for something non-weather related to say this week but it’s difficult to find something Blytonian-related that isn’t already going into one of my upcoming posts. So I’ll tell you that it’s actually sunny right now. Not only … Continue reading
Monday #570
Halfway between meteorological spring and astronomical spring and… it’s still cold! (Mind you, if I didn’t have the weather to complain about I’m not sure what I’d find to say every Monday.) Things I am looking forward to in spring: … Continue reading

First post of March already! So far March has remained fairly chilly, but there’s still time for it to get warmer – she says hopefully. We are in the period where it is spring but also is not spring, as … Continue reading
Monday #568
February is almost over, though it seems to have dragged rather, despite being the shortest month. I’m always desperate for January and February to be over and spring to start, but inevitably March ends up being barely any warmer or … Continue reading

To prove I do get things written/posted eventually this week we’ll have some of the fanfic I’ve been talking about for the past nine months and a review of a TV episode from December. Cunningham and Petrov: Bill and Allie’s … Continue reading

Turns out that I was right to guess that I wouldn’t write anything last week! Who’d have guessed? Stef has returned to the far end of the UK (blow!) so I can’t use her as an excuse this week. I … Continue reading
Monday #565
After a spotty January in terms of posting, I don’t think there will be anything this week either as Stef will be up visiting me. I have read all the suggestions for future content though, and have taken them on … Continue reading
