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...

234/365 One of the best views in the world

August 22, 2013 By Ellen

But these pictures don’t really do it justice. I’m clearly going to have to read the instructions and work out how to do a panorama. Where is it? Oh. If you drive – cycle, or otherwise propel yourself – over the hill from Kilmacolm to Greenock you get this view. All of a sudden after driving […]

233/365 Kiss and tell, no wonder we’re confused

August 21, 2013 By Ellen

“He’s been kissing the girls today,” I was told when I collected one of my sons at the end of the day.Fortunately it was Boy Three and the recipient of his affection was apparently enthusiastic in her reciprocation.

In the previous two days’ posts I’ve allowed myself to wax on a little. At one point […]

230/365 Will it rain today?

August 18, 2013 By Ellen

  What’s the weather going to do today? We ask it all the time, peering to the scudding clouds. Standing in front of the wardrobe, pondering the pullovers. Layers or linen? What does the paper say, the app, the seaweed? Is it worth making dainty sandwiches to scoff with icy lemonade in sunbeams? Or will […]

229/365 Lowther Castle – ghosts of the glories

August 17, 2013 By Ellen

  Even in the drizzle in jeans and boots, you can almost catch hold of how it would feel to wander the gardens in a satin dress after dinner, perhaps sneaking away from the claret and crystal for a gulp of cool evening. Who would you meet in the summer house? Shut your eyes and […]

August 16, 2013 By Ellen

In fact, guests of all ages can enjoy an unforgettable holiday here, thanks to the plethora of great things to do both on and off the park.   Just a short […]
