It’s a rare sight

10 October 2008 2 Comments

It’s been a funny ol’ week.  Lots happening, mixed weather but as I sat down today to decide on my blog I was stumped.  I’ve usually got a list of things in my head to write about but not today. You might wonder why bother? Blogging has become a bit of a habit for me, [...]

Who you staring at?

9 October 2008 3 Comments

Fortnum and Mason, my laugh a minute bassets, are total wimps and scaredy cats at times.  Fortnum in particular has a nervous disposition when it comes to seeing things he’s not familiar with.  One of the funniest things with my comic clowns is their reaction when they see themselves in windows. All of a sudden [...]

Our first blog date!

8 October 2008 3 Comments

Today’s been an exciting occasion.  I had my first blog date.  A date where you finally get to meet the person who you’ve been a blogging friend with for a while.  In my case of course it wasn’t just me but me and the boys. There’s a lot written about Internet dating – the etiquette [...]

We knew it was on its way.  Rain and wind that is.  But sometimes a weather forecast can’t do justice to what happens in reality.  As a Brit, I just can’t help myself talking about the weather but more than than when you live in the country it matters more. Also if you’ve got piles [...]

Hi there, it’s JT back again.  Hope you enjoyed your introduction to MT’s soap box.  It was nice to let him share my online home.  I’m sure he’ll be back again soon. Now back in the land where soap box is something to do with what is stashed under the sink for doing chores we’ve [...]

Soap box – it takes all sorts

5 October 2008 Leave a Comment

OK, I give in. After a close interest in my blog it’s time to let him indoors to have a spot where he can do his thing.  It’s only fair, we share pretty much everything else so why not this blog. He’s been a real supporter to me since I started this blog, checking stats, [...]

Boys will be boys!

No garden blogging today, it’s raining again and blowing a gale.  It’s a bit of a relief though as the thought of wielding a spade today was too much for me.  My back is fine and the legs just about OK which is a huge relief.  I guess I must be building up a reasonable [...]

Isn’t hindsight a wonderful thing?

3 October 2008 2 Comments

I’ve had one of those days where the benefit of hindsight has done nothing but frustrate me.  I could have saved myself huge amounts of effort and pain had I thought to do something at another time. This is not all doom and gloom, in fact some great things happened today. I however don’t think [...]

Steps to be pleased about

Despite the continued misery of our lone duck, I was delighted to see that our ducks who live in Maymourn on the route to the station are still alive and doing well.  Here’s a picture of mum with two of the ducklings.  There are other ducklings which I couldn’t capture on camera but look as [...]

Spring colours to make you smile

1 October 2008 2 Comments

This is Jim’s tractor.  He’s our neighbour who sold a bit of his land so we could build our dream home.  When I pass this tractor it always catches my attention.  You can’t miss it’s bright red colour. The tractor doesn’t move far although it does work.  It’s been used for hauling trees that have [...]
