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 →

more running, and getting a bit emotional

Posted on October 21, 2013 by Snippets of a Life

sunshine in the garden

Posted on October 1, 2013 by Snippets of a Life

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 →

sunday pruning

Posted on December 16, 2012 by Snippets of a Life

(Aren’t these sparkly Christmassy buns jolly? My mum brought them yesterday, and we had the last for breakfast in bed this morning). I’ve been meaning to tackle the lilac for a while. It’s right outside the kitchen window, and provides … 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 →

no weeding this year, thank you

Posted on August 6, 2012 by Snippets of a Life

Things have taken a not-very-photogenic turn around here lately. There’s not much gardening going on, not much sewing, or knitting, or making, or baking. I’ve been having a bit of a reassessment of goals and plans and life in general, … Continue reading →

glorious mud

Posted on July 13, 2012 by Snippets of a Life

Hmm. Doesn’t look very appealing out there, does it? This was my view on Saturday night, as I lay in bed in the back of the car in a field in Shropshire, listening to the rain, wondering just how muddy … Continue reading →

sunday buttling

Posted on March 4, 2012 by Snippets of a Life

Mmmm – tea and scones on a Sunday morning, how very civilised! I’ve had such a fun weekend. An early Saturday morning run round the park in the drizzle. An art gallery, and meeting an artist friend for lunch. An … Continue reading →
