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...

Dudley – 104 words

February 16, 2022 By Ellen Leave a Comment

Dudley – Yesterday, quite nice really for the time of year – slanting sun between the finely flung raindrops. Today, Dudley.

Ok, you’ve rumbled me. I can’t get my head into writing a whole actual post – even one that doesn’t promise anything meaningful. Instead, you can have some photos. It was barbecue time again.

January 17, 2018 By Ellen Leave a Comment

I’m looking out on what has been called, of late and on social media, a winter wonderland, but what, in reality, is what you’d expect to see at this time of year, in this part of the country. If your community needs help clearing the roads and sidewalks that are burred in snow, call on […]
