As some of you know - my daughter, Mandi, is here with me until the middle of August which is fantastic. She's been spoiling me by cooking my meals, washing up and cleaning etc. It's amazing. When Emily comes on Tuesday, I'm going to ask her if she'll take Mandi shopping. So I have almost 4 weeks of…

When I woke up this morning, the sun was actually shining!!!!! It really emphasised the gorgeous laburnum tree outside my window. This was the first day of the blooms actually appearing, so hopefully this tree should look really gorgeous in a couple of days with the blooms being more prolific. This…

I just happened to hear this song about a week ago, and I just can't get it out of my mind. Now I'm 75 and you'd think my music tastes would reflect this - wrong!!!! I absolutely adore Coldplay, Walker Brothers, and loads more - but I wouldn't have put this group on my list - until I heard this trac…

It's not a pendant really - but I haven't decided whether this will be a necklace or a bracelet yet. You'll have gathered that it isn't finished yet..... I admit it's different, but I quite like it really.

Well it's been really quiet since I lost Pippin and I do want to adopt another cat, but I need to go away to stay with Mandi and Dogan for a couple of weeks and it's just not fair to leave a new cat in a strange home completely alone for a couple of weeks. I know that my friends and neighbours would…

As they used to say in my family ...... "Spring has sprung, the grass is risen, I wonder where that birdie is.... The bird is on the wing - don't be silly - the wing is on the bird!" Yep - I had a strange upbringing at times!!!! For some reason it came to me, when I saw the gorgeous cherry blossom.…

Hello folks, well it's been just over a week since I last wrote to you all. I've been making new resin jewellry, as I'd got myself some new moulds. I did this because I needed to take a break from all the news about Turkey. I do have Sky tv and so I've been watching TRT World which is the Turkish Ne…

I've had lots of enquiries regarding my daughter who lives in Turkey, about how she and her husband are since the earthquakes, so I thought I'd write a quick article to tell you all how things are. When I heard about the earthquake I was obviously very worried. I immediately called my daughter to se…

Well how is 2023 going so far? It's been quite boring for me up until now - with nothing going on (which is a good thing really). I have decided that I'm going to visit my daughter in Turkey in a couple of months. The only problem, apart from trying to find the money for the trip, is that I can't tr…

Well the old year is virtually gone now - just another day and we can start praying that 2023 will be much kinder to us all than 2022 was. This time last year, we didn't know that a lovely country called Ukraine would be pulverised by Russia's troups even though the Russian soldiers had been told th…

May I please wish all my friends on here (or everyone really) a very merry Christmas. Let's be honest, after the year we've all had, we really need to have at least one day where we can relax and have fun. If you are on your own - try and enjoy the day - eat what you want, play any music that you wa…

Hiya folks, remember me mentioning the situation I had in my last blog about the electricity going off - twice? Well when I attempted to get myself up on the bottom rung of the steps so I wouldn't have to disturb Peter again, I felt myself going, so I grabbed onto the kitchen sink and it appeared to…

Well hello folks, I do hope you are all well and coping with this sudden influx of bl**dy cold weather!!! We had our first snow this morning..... I know the weathermen had threatened us with snow etc even for the South West, but they were actually right for a change. The snow had just finished here…

Well the situation with the roof and ceiling has certainly pulled me down a bit. I have noticed that nowadays certain situations are quite overwhelming for me. I had been warned about this from the doctors, but until now things were ticking along okay. I used to cope with all the situations like thi…
