My colleague S asked me what was up with me today. Gone were the frowns, the pale face, the Metallica booming through, the high boots and power bitch dressing. Instead, smiles, tan, linen slacks and a flowerchild top, and Loreena McKennitt. All I could say was, I’m happy.
It’s warm outside, the light’s good, I have [...]

So it would appear that this weekend we’re all due to be washed out to sea.
We’re supposed to be driving down to Sussex to see the parents. This is, according to the AA, A Bad Idea. The roads to Brighton are festooned along their length by rain warnings. The roof of the unit is currently [...]

For god’s sake.
Rain, winds, inclement interludes, microbursts, fog and even snow have been forecast for this weekend. It’s June next week, what the hell’s going on? And before any smartass says, ‘global warming’, I’d mention that a) Bank Holidays are supposed to do this in Britain but it’s still disappointing and b) if global warming [...]

What a gorgeous word this is - and it can be used to describe exactly the sort of weekend it has been here…. moisture rising, moisture falling, greenness and dripdripdrip…. perfect English summer weather, in fact.

This weekend has been authentically gorgeous. As you can see from the pictures the weather was perfect - 20 degrees centigrade in April, and no cold wind to bring us down - My brothers were on their best behaviour, nothing went wrong, and R wasn’t ill / inexplicably unhappy. If all this sounds needlessly negative [...]

I’ve been out all morning, reeling about taking pictures, just drunk on the gorgeousness of everything when it’s obscured by snow.
I wasn’t the only one - photographers were thick along the riverbanks and parents were all over Castle Green making snow angels, dogs, cats and (unfashionably, it seems) men for their offspring.
There were teams of [...]

We’re going to get snooooow!!
Apparently as much as 15cm which is amazing, it’s going to start tonight, I’m really excited and that is a totally sad thing to admit - but all us worker bees feel like skiving off to the Brecon Beacons with a flask of tea and a Flexible Flyer.
This will be the [...]

Crisp and cold here in the Welsh Marches and there’s enough of a breeze to put apples in your cheeks. Working away, but taking frequent walks up to the post office / down round the village on errands I could technically put off.
Tomorrow being the eve of the works Christmas party, which I am looking forward [...]
