In a bun dance

If I'm going to get something, I usually get it in spades - luck (both kinds), children, clutter, dirty laundry, bright ideas, daft ideas...

Things I learned today – crispy veg and feminist icons

October 1, 2020 By Ellen

Another instructive day… I learned that the Aga doesn’t let out the smell. So last night’s roasted veggies (I’ll just give them a few more minutes) were somewhat overdone by breakfast time.   Speaking of Agas, have you seen the new version of All Creatures Great and Small? Boy Three and I have been enjoying […]

Things I learned today – Birthdays, basics and bosoms

September 30, 2020 By Ellen

Covid, house moves, sons hitting landmark birthdays, the loss of my Booths card… times that are unforgettable to the point of interesting. 2020.

August 2, 2020 By Ellen

There’s an ‘end of’ feeling about matters here at the Palace of Bundance. And not before time on many fronts… In the absence of a proper post, here’s more from the the latest batch of photos. Owners of large goldfish must swallow their disappointment. I stumbled on this small ad this week. It should have […]

When is a cow not a vegetarian?

July 21, 2020 By Ellen

When it’s eating its own afterbirth. Apparently they do this to protect the new-born from predators long enough for it to get on its own four wobbly feet. Clever nature. A summer evening walk with a lovely friend was rendered unforgettable by the sight of a new-born calf and its mother. We stood fascinated while […]
