A poem a day. Christina Rosetti – Remember Remember me when I am gone away, Gone far away into the silent land; When you can no more hold me by the hand, Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay. Remember me when no more day by day You tell me our future that…
A Poem a day…so they say.
‘Tis said, ‘a poem a day keeps dementia at bay’ ~ I read in my local newspaper this morning. ‘At whatever age you are,’ according to a professor, ‘you still have the capacity to learn new things if you put your mind to it. There’s no shortage of brain cells as you grow older.’ Well,…

Join Me On My Stroll in #Brixham Bay
Pretty Brixham. I wouldn’t live anywhere else! And why would I? Photos (and I have many) taken during my dog walk in the picturesque Fish Town of Brixham Bay. All Saint’s Church situated just a short stroll from my home and has so much history. At 8pm each evening, we can hear the church bells ringing…

Sub-zero spring & our wildlife!
A chill wind sweeps across the hilly South Devon landscape (where I live), causing me to shiver and shudder on my early morning dog walk with my two cocker spaniels. As we head down the winding road towards the sea, my eyes weep at the mercy of the coldest winds hitting me in the face….
#Spring has Sprung
The clocks have gone forward. I’ve seen narcissi, crocuses, even daffodils. Like sap, my hopes are rising. My S.A.D (winter depression) has finally diminished. **Smiles** Could last weekend’s plummeting temperatures have been the final door slam of that long, cold winter? About blooming time! Most of the country had snow. Our devon garden looked pretty wearing…
#PancakeDay 2018 Shrove Tuesday ~ I made 8 fantastical pancakes. Drop by and take a look.
Sharing my Gran’s recipe with you today. Why? Gran gained a Diploma in Baking back in the day. Pancakes (she could toss them high without them sticking to the ceiling) as well as her Sunday fruit cake, were the envy of all her family and friends. Gran’s perfect pancakes: (If you’re making lots of pancakes,…
Robins. The #Winter garden cutie
On a cold, not-so-sunny, winter’s morning, few sights lift my spirits quite as much as a robin hopping across the garden showing off its beautiful red breast. Now and then it’ll fly up to a post and sing its delightful song, cheering me even more. I’m a sufferer of SAD (winter depression) so when creatures…

No words today. 11th November…
