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

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

San Sebastian/Donostia

It wasn't the first, nor the longest stop on our holiday but it just might have been our favourite. I didn't know a lot about it when I chose it as a stop off, and it doesn't have masses of "must see" sights*, it's simply a lovely place to be. It was quite astoundingly…Read more San Sebastian/Donostia

…walks with a little brown dog

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

Shock

I arrived home after my walk today to a missed call on my mobile and the message light blinking from the landline. Looking up the number I recognised it belonged to MrS's cousin. Oh that's nice I thought, she must be coming to visit her friend and wants to drop in on her way. And…Read more Shock

Good Service

I've sent more time than I've liked these past weeks complaining to a Major Retailer about their bad service. It's left me feeling generally discontented and anxious. I don't want anyone to come to any harm following my complaints, I just wanted those at the top to know how they were failing their customers. Anyway…Read more Good Service

Las Islas Canarias

Well the ones I've been to anyway. Last Christmas (2016) we flew off to Lanzarote to escape our renovation works at home. There we discovered the delights of mojo, wrinkly potatoes and its unique volcanic landscape. This year (2017) we spent Christmas and New Year at home, having fun with lots of family and…Read more Las Islas Canarias

The little things…..

Today I took my dog to the beach. Now that is not an unusual thing, but today I tried to do just that. No 'phone, no photos, no posting. Just me'n'B, walking, watching , listening. Enjoying her pleasure at simply being there. My dog smiles. Disclaimer, this is blatant anthropomorphism on my part. She's a terrier,…Read more The little things…..
