Some days are diamond, some days are stone
Can’t use the title I wanted to use, because I already used it. So I’ve had to put the whole lyric in, instead of just half 😉 It’s been that kind of day really. Big started the day with a physio appt, (which meant I started the day hauling her out of bed and going…

{feeling} very odd. I’ve got something strange going on – maybe inner ear related. I feel a bit light headed while sitting down, but every time I stand up I fall over. Which is awkward. {running} before this came on, I did my best run possibly ever, trimming my time for 1.2 miles down to…
Mother's day musings.
I don’t really know how I feel about mother’s day. I remember it at church, as a child. You’d go up to the altar and get a little selection of flowers, usually daffodils I think, and bring them back to your mother. And that was pretty much it. Oh, and it was called Mothering Sunday,…

{Wearing} a kirtle. First open day at kentwell Hall, preparing for this year’s reenactment season. {Talking} to friends and new participants. Catching up with people I haven’t seen all winter. Meeting people I’ve never met before. {Spending} ouch money on new (and secondhand) shoes. They are lovely though. {Feeling} cold and tired. Sun was bright,…
Looking back and forward to Kentwell Hall.
Challenged to find a picture of my favourite holiday destination for this Al Fresco Holidays blog competition, I couldn’t resist the chance to wax lyrical about Kentwell Hall and reenactment once again. It’s an odd choice of holiday. It’s hard work for one, but I suppose it’s the change is as good as a rest…

{Musing} on Solstice, nature, connections and society. {Reading} I can’t decide! I finished Conquest and really enjoyed it, can’t decide whether to go for more SF (have got Ghost Brigades on Kindle) or start on the 642 pages of historical fiction that landed today. Decisions, decisions. Suggestions welcome. (Wish I’d remembered to lay my hands…
Internet lite
I’m into the second day of our annual Christmas camp in a youth hostel with next to no Internet. I’m actually blogging this lying on the floor in my bedroom with my phone balanced on a book on the box around the water pipes. And I’m doing better than most people who haven’t found any…
Capturing garden colour, and maybe a bit from the streets.
Do you know what you get if you hand a three year old a digital camera? Lots of blurry pictures. Nearly 300 in fact. (And a slightly smudged camera. Maybe that’s just my three year old.) If you’re lucky, you’ll also get some unique takes on the landscape around you. Perspectives that you miss, because…

{running} 3 miles or thereabouts. In glorious autumn sun, along the beach. {suffering} from an aching back. I’m sure it’s completely unrelated to the previous entry. {watching} City Slickers for family film night. Very slow to get started, and not as funny as I remembered. Am actually wondering whether I’ve mixed it up with another…

{feeling} confused. Frustrated, sad, annoyed and really not sure which way is up. {missing} Tim and Big and Kentwell. They are doing Michaelmas and I am not, as I decided it was too likely to be cold and wet to do with small children. Of course it’s now not cold and wet and I feel…
