walking round the city (1)

Posted on October 11, 2014 by Snippets of a Life

Today we went for a walk. Along the deeply eroded path through the heather, and up on to the top of the rocks. I love this place. It’s close to the city, and so windswept, and you can see ever … Continue reading →

These last couple of weekends have been filled with late September sunshine. Outside has been the only place to be. I started in my own garden, lazing around and drinking tea. On Sunday I went to Allotment Soup, an art-and-allotment-and-soup … Continue reading →

Yesterday was the second of my newly-free Fridays. I spent the morning on a train coming home from our work’s not-Christmas night out (I hadn’t been out all night, I promise!), and in the afternoon braved the arctic conditions to … Continue reading →

counting bugs (and birds and plants and fish)

Posted on October 4, 2012 by Snippets of a Life

Last weekend I found myself face to face with this gorgeous little harvest mouse. I’ve never met one before – he was so tiny! He also wasn’t very keen on staying still, so all my photos are rather blurry – … Continue reading →

an ordinary-extraordinary weekend

Posted on September 9, 2012 by Snippets of a Life

An ordinary weekend, this one, filled with extraordinary things. An 18 mile run, during which I stopped to stretch out on the arm of a lock gate in the sunshine (and nearly fell asleep). At the end I ate an … Continue reading →

sunshine and grey skies

Posted on March 31, 2012 by Snippets of a Life

What a gloriously sunshiney week it’s been here! I’d almost forgotten it was ever not sunny – which meant this morning’s grey skies came as rather a surprise. Still, it’s the weekend, and that means two whole days of idle … Continue reading →
