Day of the dead day
Well, the clocks have already gone back an hour. And it’s the Day of the Dead, Halloween, or Samhain (take your pick) and Guy Fawkes time of year. This photograph shows quite an impressive shop display I spotted nearby.
So this is Christmas…
Like you I’ve spent far too much money, written lots of lists and trudged around far too many shops for my liking.
Get the bunting out!
Yes, get the bunting out and blow up the party balloons because it’s my birthday today. And it’s a milestone year – I’ve actually managed somehow to make it to 60 years of age.
Soggy Easter
It’s Easter Sunday today and there’s a possibility of snow forecast for tomorrow. It will definitely rain, heavily, much as it has all week.
Waking the Trees
Happy New year to you all! Finally, the torpor of the festive season gives way to reveal the grey, cold, dark reality that is January…
Let the festivities begin
The many, many weeks of madness and preparation are finally over. The presents have been bought and wrapped and the cupboards are bulging with food and drink. Here, at the darkest time of the year, it is time to sit back and relax and catch our breath and plan for the year ahead.
