Dearest little BBQ sausages,
It’s nearly over but what a summer! Admittedly, it was mostly in the earlier months but I can’t remember so many days of sunshine in years.
North Shields normally hosts a freezing, grey coastline but it has become almost…. ‘holidayesque’ ! I was suddenly seeing blue sky, and feeling a lovely warm breeze. The normally infuriating seagulls are calling “come and buy chips……come and buy chips”! Well, who am I to ignore avian instruction?….the birds

How’s your May going my little custard creams?

Hello my little BBQ sausages,
It’s me again, with a short report from the furnace of my studio. Bless the sunshine ey? I’m typing away in the intense heat of this beautiful May day. My computer is in the attic, so the hot air has risen and become trapped, roasting me and my lazy cats, who look just like mini Afric

Hello everyone,
How are you doing? cold? sick of the snow and rain? Of course you are. Chin up though, it’s a good excuse to stay indoors, make another pot of tea, have some buttery and jammy toast. Or wrap up really warm and get out there. Breathe the fresh air, let the weather do its [...]
