Posted on November 29, 2013 by Snippets of a Life

tiny little bees (2)

Posted on November 25, 2013 by Snippets of a Life

I’ve been making bees again. I’ve made bees before (and it seems I called that post ‘tiny little bees’ as well…). They’re quick and easy to make, and just so very cheerful that I can’t help myself. These are being … Continue reading →

It’s Sunday morning, and I’m curled up in my new dressing gown with a cup of tea and a pile of library books about triathlons. Hmm. I spent last weekend with my friends from the online running forum I’m part … Continue reading →

thinking of strawberries

Posted on November 10, 2013 by Snippets of a Life

No, I didn’t harvest these today (although I did sneak in a couple of lingering raspberries at the community garden). I’m joining in again with the Grow Write Guild, and this time the prompt is to generate a random writing … Continue reading →

a mini autumnal adventure

Posted on November 6, 2013 by Snippets of a Life

One of the reasons I’ve kept this blog for all these years is to remind myself that sometimes the sun shines, even when it feels like it’s rained non-stop for weeks. Every time I run it seems to be raining. … Continue reading →

an actual finished project!

Posted on November 4, 2013 by Snippets of a Life

Running in the rain

Posted on November 3, 2013 by Snippets of a Life

I lay in bed this morning looking at the sunshine through the skylight, trying to cajole myself into getting up for my five mile run. When i eventually managed it, this is what greeted me outside the front door. Gah! … Continue reading →

get out of my garden

Posted on November 1, 2013 by Snippets of a Life

Somehow this post got lost in last weekend’s busy-busy-ness. It’s not this sunshiney any more, sadly. This is my second post joining in with the Grow Write Guild, and this week the theme is ‘You’re outta here!‘ The idea this … Continue reading →
