Why the "2" Well I've posted on this subject before. Twice if you count the one about walking with DogS. But it's something I do a lot of, and can do at the moment. Yesterday's story was inspired by and thought up on one of my daily walks. Though the people just live in my head.…Read more Walking (2)

Stories
I really do love stories, "The Chalet School" and Bilbo Baggins when I was young, Slinky Malinky , Roald Dahl and Harry Potter (complete with voices) with MasterS when he was; MrS reading me Saki short stories. He felt kinship with Conradin from Srnedni Vashtar, even though his aunts were nothing but kindness. For me bounding spaniels…Read more Stories
Friday Night Dinner
Now I'm being a but naughty with this post. Am I talking about the TV show? Or my actual Friday night dinner. Actually a bit of both. If you're unfamiliar with the show then.. well, you'll need to hurry but you can find it here. So what's the connection? In the show the two grown up sons…Read more Friday Night Dinner
Baking
And I specially like baking cake. Problem is I also like eating cake. So when it's just me'n'MrS here I try not to bake too often. I know there's DogS too but cake isn't very good for dogs. You see MrS is very good at "saving things for later". But I'm very greedy, and hate…Read more Baking
Getting dressed up
Whether for stage or fancy dress Weddings that's me in my black wedding dress, and as a guest. Or just for the heck of it. Though I wasn't all dressed up just for a paddle. MrS was attending an event. But no excuse except sunshine and a summer fair for the second pic. And that…Read more Getting dressed up
A good cocktail
Carefully mixed and preferably served in a classic Martini glass, a good cocktail is my favourite indulgence. Although gin is my spirit of choice for a simple mixed drink it's not an ingredient in my favourite cocktail, the Manhattan. Three parts whisky and one sweet vermouth, mix over ice, strain and serve with a cocktail…Read more A good cocktail
Taking time to explore
Once upon a time we took a trip to Europe. MrS, DogS and me. Well it seems like a long time ago. Even at the time we felt it might be a kind of a "last hurrah". We didn't know how easy a trip like that would be after Brexit. To be able to pack…Read more Taking time to explore
Bubbles
And here I am with MrS being showered with them just after our wedding. Of course this is just a device . I've made myself a bit of a strait jacket, having to write about things I like. So the pretty soapy bubbles. But you know what that's rhyming slang for? You see I actually…Read more Bubbles
Wildflowers
I like all types of flowers, but there's something really special about flowers growing by themselves without any help from us. That's why I picked dandelions as my header image. Perhaps you call them weeds but I think they're a bit wonderful. Plus bees love them, they are often their source of pollen in early…Read more Wildflowers
A Very Scandi Scandal
Not sure why, but I've never seen any of the Scandi noir TV shows. I missed out on Sarah Lund and her sweater and had to Google to find the names of the detectives in The Bridge* I don't know, perhaps I missed the launch episodes and then didn't want want to be late…Read more A Very Scandi Scandal
