Hi there Thanks for popping in. What’s the weather like in your neck of the woods? Bright and FREEEEEZING here! Really brass monkeys!! There, you see. No sooner do brass monkeys spring to mind, than I have to find out where the saying comes from! Have used the expression all my life, and always just assumed that brass monkeys are cold to the touch, right? That may well be, but let’s get to the bottom of where ‘It’s brass monkeys”…
Hi there Thanks for popping in. Just in from a day out in London. We met up with our dear friends Linda and Rob Williams, which was wonderful. Little bit of parchment planning for the Open Days in June and the Spa Retreat, little bit of business chat, then a super posh lunch at the Shard, saunter round Borough Market, along the river in the sunshine to the Tate Modern, a powerful dose of surrealism – and back to the…

Hi there Thanks for popping in. It’s been a good, busy, productive Monday. How about yours? Started off putting air in the SHAC-Bus tyres, and figuring out a plan for us. Always best to know where you’re headed when you’ve got 200+ passengers! It was an enjoyable SHAC session, doodling daisies – a symbol of innocence, simplicity and joy. Which is okay. We could all do with a dose of innocence, simplicity and joy once in a while, eh. If…
Hi there Thanks for popping. Dave’s daughter Laura and the family came over for a little birthday tea party this afternoon. We had cancelled earlier in the month, due to illness. Actually, it’s just as well, because the weather was so lovely, we were able to hang out in the garden today! Here we see lovely Evie and I completely engrossed in colouring in together. She and the nipper Oliver are such a joy. Just beautiful little bundles of innocence…
