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...

So, how was your weekend? Wild

November 12, 2019 By Ellen Leave a Comment

EDIT: When I sat down to write this, I planned to bring it round to some inspiring conclusion about doing what you fancy rather than what looks flash, but I forgot about that bit. Sorry.   There’s another tricky thing to negotiate in the office. Or at least it feels that way to me. It’s […]

A fine bed

February 21, 2017 By Ellen 1 Comment

A poem inspired by Fionaoutdoors and her adventure in the furniture shop.  A fine bed It will last 20 years, they said. This bed. Like a galleon, strong enough to sail through your stormy nights, safely to the dawns. The wood got ready in forests. Sprouting and branching while you were still rolling through the […]
