Interview someone — a friend, another blogger, your mother, the mailman — and write a post based on their responses. Now that would be interesting. I’m a medium so interviewing my mother is still possible. Although this is a brilliant question, how many of you I wonder have the opportunity to do this today? IContinueContinue reading “My Mother?”

How are you feeling right now? Yesterday we went down to Glastonbury to catch up with a lovely man who used to be our vet, and meet his wife, a warm, funny, and caring person. We also met their son. If the security of this country is partly in his hands I definitely feel safer.ContinueContinue reading “Bit Tired but Good”

What daily habit do you do that improves your quality of life? Laughter is the best medicine. Cats remind you that even the most beautiful creatures are not perfect. They also teach you unconditional love. We’ve rescued a number of troubled cats, we’ve loved them anyway. It’s been magical to learn that we can doContinueContinue reading “Laugh and Cuddle Cats”

What was the last thing you searched for online? Why were you looking for it? We repotted the house plants. Now they’re growing like mad things, which is wonderful, but we need to find somewhere to put them. Hence new tables. Frankly if I find a tiger strolling through the jungle that is our diningContinueContinue reading “A Nest of Tables”

What TV shows did you watch as a kid? “Are you sitting comfortably? Then I’ll begin?” That was how Listen With Mother opened on the Radio. A nice comfortable, happy, programme of stories for children. Television was in its infancy. We had Andy Pandy, and the Flowerpot men. I loved them. We had Children’s Hour.ContinueContinue reading “Not Many”

What’s your favorite time of day? I like the energetic peace and quiet. When the underlying emotionally chaotic vibe of the world quietens. I love being awake after midnight. It’s so quiet. The air is softer. I’ve never been an early morning person, unless you count 2 am, so I can’t really comment much. ButContinueContinue reading “Night”

What’s your favorite recipe? Made with a dash of Tia Maria and coffee, a decent chocolate and single cream. It’s an amazing and healthy dessert. You can dip in small pieces of sponge or biscuit, but a selection of fresh fruit is by far the best. It’s a lovely, social, fun way to connect. ThereContinueContinue reading “Chocolate Fondue”

Tell us about the last thing you got excited about. This is pretty much what happened. I’d been struggling with social media for a while. Left everything but Facebook. The sheer overwhelm, too much information on speed, a lot of it questionable, too much of it unkind. If you’re thinking it’s not that much that’sContinueContinue reading “My New Private Facebook Group”

How would you design the city of the future? You did ask. Small enclaves. Beautiful housing for all. Shops and restaurants in every area. Lots of walking paths. No high rises. Community cars. Public transport. Lots of garden areas. Play areas for children, spaces for teenagers. Lots of entertainment for everyone. Live music on weekendContinueContinue reading “For people”

Where did your name come from? Just for a laugh I’ve told the story before that my dad wanted me called Ann. My mum refused to spend her life correcting people who called me Annie because she hated the name; seriously thank you mum. I don’t hate it but… My aunt named me, she didContinueContinue reading “A battle”
