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

So I'm challenging myself to post, "every day in May" . It's not an original idea a friend is taking part in 5k every day in May where NHS workers are running or cycling 5k every day in May as a way to say "Thank you". Let that one sink in for a moment. Now I can't…Read more ..a challenge.

Back then my main worry was the effect Brexit would have on future trips. And I…Read more Travelling, but is staying at home*
(still) being European
Don't misunderstand, I've nothing against the other continents, I'm just delighted that we've got a little reprieve and still belong to the EU and all the benefits that brings. We're just back from a three week trip through France, Northern Spain and Portugal, taking advantage of DogStarke's pet passport for what may be its last…Read more (still) being European

A few days away, so many posts to catch up on, and some of my own to write. Autumn seems to be giving way to Winter. Frost, fog, and lighting the fire. All the while taking time to play Back soon. Marina x
Completing the circle
I did it. 31 days. 31 posts. Down through the alphabet and then some. Some I was pleased with, some not so much. Sometimes there was no inspiration. But I got here. Today is Hallowe'en, All Hallows Eve. A day signifying different things around the world. Perhaps it's dressing up and partying, children visiting neighbours…Read more Completing the circle
