A small pinned biography - more will be threaded as my muse dictates.

1) here's me as a toddler standing on the steps of my childhood home.

Well actually a college building where my parents lived and worked. It was a different kind of childhood being raised on campus

If I worked for the town hall I’d want to put up the lights on a dry wind free day and a cold, wet, miserable day just before Christmas

Bluesky is wondrous.
Where else can you prattle about blue cheese with a woman you went to school with and a woman you might have possibly met in a past employment

Probably not the blue cheese currently chained down in fridge. It would escape before getting near crumble mixture

In a past life packing for a work trip was just throwing a few items into a bag and then off

Now, it seems, I have to colour coordinate my outfits for a week and pack days in advance

It’ll never work - I still call purple blue

Her English granny’s recipe but with French ingredients

This one is split between the Mairie, the medical centre and the veto

Are you sure you did it? You look chilled and refreshed and not like a person who ran a long way

Good job, honorary sister

Busy pre rain gardening day
Remove two figs and a trumpet vine with delusions of being wanted
Cut vegetation around fosse soak away
Refit porch roof where I had to remortar a tile and fix a crack

Now resting time

Talking of rain, a mini break beckons
So apologies to my followers in Dordogne and Charente-Maritime
