Half Baked In Paradise. Searching, settling, sauteeing and spritzing. One shaft of light that shows the way. By Osyth on November 20, 2016. This is my entry to the gallery entiled ‘Magic’ as hosted by the WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge – here are the enchanting others for you to delight in.

Skip to primary content. Who Is This Bloke? June 7, 2014. Spent all day crying, watching BBC coverage of the D-Day Vets. So proud of those old guys and they are all so humble. Wonderful stuff. I would never fight over oil or for spurious reasons to kill people, but if the Nazis ever again threatened our shores I’d like to think I’d do my bit. 70 years on, we’ve started voting-in racists, bigots and homophobes. Might as well have let Hitler in. What a waste. This entry was posted in Misc. Not yet anyway &...

Most of it is simply not true. In reality, I have been kept busy engaged in the frenetic toil of filling endless sandbags for the increasingly beautiful Patricia. Against the ever rising river that borders her stately home down there in Swanage. Outside toilet facilities, wandering hands and lukewarm tea in ceramic mugs have hindered my progress somewhat. At times, as Pat and I gazed across the immense social divide towards the poorer part of town, it felt as though the ghost of our dear friend Scarlet.

Shall we go home? I'm pretty sure that if I trawled back through the still cloudy tumbled gardeviance of my thoughts at the dinner table that evening, I would no doubt have realised that she meant the five kilometres back to our hilltop nidifice. However, never really being a huge devotee of the aquabib fraternity, the clouds that were normally white were more fluffy and opalescent than usual, undoubtedly due to the stiffness of the local grape. Created and prepared by. Links to this post. These days I p...

Much Ado About Nothing. At best, it can most probably be accurately described as one of those more avoidable moments where politeness and etiquette collide with the same startling 'wump' of an English woman's backside connecting with a smooth wooden chair. Much ado about nothing really. Of course, the incessant, clackety-clack clackety-clack,. Happy Hogmanay, to each and all. Created and prepared by. Links to this post. Nuances of a Somewhat Befuddled Mind. As feared, our ethos of conquest and environmen...

French Sampler: The Promise of Summer
http://thefrenchsampler.blogspot.com/2013/04/the-promise-of-summer.html
Saturday, April 13, 2013. The Promise of Summer. This morning I woke up and it was beautiful, warm enough to wander round my freshly mowed garden in my robe and set the table for an alfresco breakfast, the first French strawberries have started to appear in the markets a sure sign that the salad days have arrived. I hope the weather is good wherever you are. Wishing you all a wonderful weekend. April 13, 2013 at 3:51 PM. It seems that things are finally looking up in terms of weather. It isnt strawberry ...

French Sampler: Off the Beaten Track
http://thefrenchsampler.blogspot.com/2013/03/off-beaten-track.html
Friday, March 8, 2013. Off the Beaten Track. I love Paris, the Cote d'Azur the Italian Riviera et al, the history the stories, but isn't it nice to discover new places, destinations that may not be well known internationally, the kind of place that warrants a secret nose tap, the kind of place that the locals want to keep under wraps, lest it gets too popular and the kind of place that once stumbled upon is never forgotten. I know exactly where this river pebble comes from, I may have to copy this idea!

Sorry for being me, I don't know how to be anyone else" - Spike Milligan. Tuesday, 19 May 2015. The confusion over Cate Blanchett's "relation-ships" is a reminder that platonic friendships can be just as intense and rewarding as sexual couplings, even though the latter are usually seen as the real deal. Journalist Daisy Buchanan writes. I'm not sure men could say the same about male friendships though. From what I know, they seldom have that intensity and richness. I've certainly never had a male...As fo...
