Have we only just gone through Spring?  We have, haven’t we?  We’re only just creeping into summer right?
Then tell me what on earth this ad is doing on TV already.

OK, I’ve worked out that it’s for a catalogue, so you can order all your Christmas bits from it over time, but still, are people really [...]

Now I see it!

Look what I got for Christmas!  I’ve wanted one for so long.

Last year I posted about my nice new camera that I found under the Christmas Tree.  This years post is about the lens I found under the same tree.  Did I miss it last year?  Was it hiding so deep in the branches that [...]

I just HAD to post one.

You get the bad news first!

Do you want the good news, or the bad news first?  Well you’re getting the bad news first, ’cause that’s how I feel at the moment.  Actually I’ll tell it as it happened.
Saturday night I called Mo over to my computer for something.  She was only a couple of feet away.  “My back hurts” was [...]

Excuse me while I rant!

What a Christmas present!
The only reason I have not put my ‘Frustrated Babs’ doodle here is because it’s Christmas, and I didn’t want to spoil the Christmas mood.
About a week ago, I updated my Photo Blog to WordPress 2.7.  I chose just the one so I could be sure it would go OK, and to [...]

I thought that as it’s Christmas, you may like to read about Christmas day at my house in the 1950’s.  Before you click the link, we did a dance for you – just to make you smile.

Thank you all for playing along with this contest.  Many of you thought it may be a cardigan/sweater clip. I must say that it would need to be a very large cardigan for it to be of any use.  No it was to be worn around the neck.  We had two correct answers, but the [...]

What will you get for Christmas?

With Christmas coming very soon, I thought that I would post about this great ‘World Vision Gifts’ idea.
Instead of receiving lots of gifts that you don’t really want or need.  Gifts that will probably end up in the back of a drawer or cupboard until next year, when you can pass them on to other [...]

Growing up slowly

When I was growing up in the early 50’s, children were not very well informed, in fact quite the reverse. The realities and cruelties of life were carefully hidden from us. We grew up in a world where all things magical were accepted as fact. Where life was just one happy playground, [...]
