After deleting several blogs I sort of followed at one time, the spam problem went away and Hurrah I can see your blogs again.  Just in case, I've changed my password and am slowly working my way through all my…

Tom has been busy building in the garden ... 

and here I can reveal 

my Green House :)

Made from recycled windows and wood - I am so pleased.   He has done a brilliant job.   It's warm enough to sit…

I've just been bombarded with dozens of blogs from Blender Ukraine and can't see any of your blogs for the past couple of days - already gone back 4 or 5 pages!!!   Grrrrr.   Anyone know how to delete blogs from…

Happy Earth Week to you all - hasn't it been a beautiful week to celebrate.  And our scavenger photos all tie in with that with the prompt quite simply being

Did you see the snow moon at the start of the month - wasn't it amazing?  (no decent photos I'm afraid)

So after all the practice and stress of learning to lip synch, figuring out clothes and make up, finalising scripts, finishing writing a song and getting it recorded etc etc etc filming day arrived.

It was interesting filming in lockdown,…

Can you believe it's a full year since lockdown began.  I remember reading avidly accounts from China where people were relating how they coped with 7 weeks lockdown and I remember thinking, how will we do that.   Then it was…

Happy Birthday Kezzie.

I've had such fun dressing up as a character from Doctor Who for my blogging friend Kezzie's 40th fancy dress birthday party.   We're sci fi nerds in this house, and Tom particularly loves Doctor Who.  So…

It's taken me nearly 12 months of this lockdown to start feeling rested enough to miss our old life.   I'm not complaining - we live in a beautiful place and don't want for anything and are getting enough work online…
