I may have written this before but there are few things that can't be brightened up by a little brown dog. Recently two much loved local dogs have died; I'll miss seeing them about, though nowhere near as much as their people will and it's made me specially glad to have B around. Part of…Read more …walks with a little brown dog
Seasons
getting back online
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
Sunny Monday mornings
We have had the most gorgeous Autumn so far. I live in Argyll which is in the west of Scotland, it's a beautiful area but often wet. Our prevailing wind is from the west so it scoops up moisture from the Atlantic Ocean and releases it as rain over us. Well, that's what usually happens.…Read more Sunny Monday mornings
Walking beside Loch Lomond
Today it's wet and windy so I'm hunkered down at home, wrapped up in warm woolies with DogS curled up on her bed nearby. Yesterday was completely different, it was one those gorgeous, crisp Autumn days. We travelled south for a family visit and on the way stopped off to stretch our legs. A friend…Read more Walking beside Loch Lomond
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
Days out with DogStarke
Not just something I like, one of my favourite things. Even better when MrS comes too, but today he was busy. So off we set for culture, lunch and walkies. As it turned out we didn't do things quite in that order. I had a few work thing sort before we could leave and it's…Read more Days out with DogStarke
Spain
Ok, quite a big subject, and I've certainly not seen all of it. But what I've seen, I've liked. It wasn't always the case , on my first visit (also the first time me, MrS and MasterS travelled abroad together) I was slightly horrified by the aridity. I'd never seen a semi desert landscape before.…Read more Spain
it when the sun shines on Sunday
This is related to liking Fridays, so if they are maybe my favourite day then Sundays are my least. Not Monday? No, because on Sunday, you can have the dread, the feeling of weekendoverness and then it's just another hard week to come. I don't get the dreads these days, well not for Mondays or the…Read more it when the sun shines on Sunday
Autumn
Autumn. Keats's "Season of mist and mellow fruitfulness....". The time for tidying up the garden, bringing in the harvest and beginning to batten down for Winter. Not for me. That first nip of Autumnal air, which here in Scotland can sometimes be sniffed in August, brings excitement. It's the season of start. Twenty three…Read more Autumn
