Well mine in all honesty is let to do much as it pleases in as much as I am not a constant gardener but one who dabbles now and then. Thank goodness the forsynthia knows that! She gets a good cut mid summer and again in the autumn and we get on just fine. [...]

Now there’s one holiday I have never been on but that is high, very high, on my Bucket List; a boating trip on the Norfolk Broads. I could have gone years ago, my mum’s partner at the time took my brothers on a boating holiday on the Broads and although the partner hasn’t been [...]

Do you like where you live? I don’t. I mean I used to as a 15 year old, I can remember shopping in the town centre, walking through the market square, spending my hard earned cash on the clothes stalls and a trip to OK records to get myself the latest vinyl disc. It [...]  |
