It's holiday season at last, the best of the British weather is upon us & our thoughts turn to balmy evenings, long cool cocktails with loved ones, leisurely lunches with friends, sporting events, concerts, regattas, carnivals & jetting off on that much anticipated fun in the sun holiday. Our reward for enduring the long, cold,…
Anna has been given her Great Aunts country house. She and husband Chas, have the intention of turning it into a Bed & Breakfast. Little do they realise how much hard work, heartache, and sadness lies ahead, nor had they planned on the devious underhandedness of cousin Marty to take Oakfell Hall for himself. CHAPTER…
Things have been a little subdued around here since Sunday. One of our best friends Spaniels had to be very unexpected put to sleep. She had an infection, but that was being treated with antibiotics. No expense was spared, she & her brother were doted on, so when the call came through to say she…
This is the first crocheting I've started since last September. Up until then I'd always have something on my hook, but during lockdown I didn't do anything. I'm not sure why. It seemed the more time I had, the less I did. These past three days I'm back to it and I'm so pleased. I…

Despite the weather being cold & wet some progress has been made I had to stop laying the patio, as I hurt my ribs & twisted my knee! Other than that this little bit of the garden is coming on much as I imagined it. The grass has been left long and has wildflowers planted…
I am not a person who needs to have the latest this or that. My house is not a mega modern place of granite worktops & sleek designer furniture. No, in fact it is the exact opposite. It is a tumble down heap of a place that is almost 100 years old. That is why…
