Greetings, dear reader! Thanks for dropping by! I'll get straight to it, shall I? This is a looong post. I hope you have a teapot handy... 1 Why another photoshoot? Since our tree change in 2018, I've changed a lot. I've become more 'myself' if that makes sense and I wanted girl and duck to …

This Gentle Life: A Reflection

So this happened. Last week, I made scones for the local library. We were having a Devonshire Tea stall at the local agricultural show. But I couldn't make it to the show. So I dropped the scones over to my neighbour and asked her to drop them off for me. She said, 'But they have …

Hello pop tart! I've never done one of these review blog posts. But I LOVE reading 'em! So, this year, I'm giving it a whirl. To be honest, I'm wondering where to go with it all. How far, how wide, how deep? It's like plotting a novel. I need groupings. Headings. Chapters. Maybe even a …
