Hurray, super, wonderful, great – tomorrow is D Day! We’re out of lockdown! CAUSE FOR CELEBRATION With restrictions, of course. Here in France, we’ve been told – although the finer points can change, as ever – that we can travel up to 100km from our homes, as the crow flies. Are we meant to check that … Continue reading LOCKDOWN BOTTOM

NO FEAR!
Greetings from Crazy Cottage! Little did I know when I jokingly named our house that it would turn out to be just that. Leaf gets crazier by the day, his confusion is epic and if this lockdown continues or comes back, he will flip, I’m sure of it. I need to get that live-in carer … Continue reading NO FEAR!
A HORRIBLE WAY TO GO
Now we have Covid19 and care homes are in the news. Several people have raised the possibility with me. How do we feel about the subject? Both my grandparents on Daddy’s side, died at home. At home being with us – Grandad died in his mid-sixties from a heart attack, Granny in her late seventies … Continue reading A HORRIBLE WAY TO GO
THE FINAL STRAW
Yesterday I finally flipped. Like a tidal wave, all my frustration, anger and emotion swept me out of control. Luckily, Leaf was in the studio. I tried calling friends who had offered listening help whenever I needed it, but no-one answered and I wasn’t about to leave messages. They would have been incoherent anyway. Then … Continue reading THE FINAL STRAW
BEING OUR BEST
Before I get to the point of this week’s post, I have to let off steam. I feel about to explode with frustration and anger, yes anger. SCREAMING IS GOOD FOR US This lockdown is driving us mad. Leaf has become almost imbecilic, not able to understand or carry out the simplest of tasks without … Continue reading BEING OUR BEST
WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN?
When I was fifty-seven, I met a man. Attractive, funny, highly intelligent, affectionate, romantic, widely travelled, wise and very kind. Of course, there’s more to say about him but as he’s not the subject of this post, I mustn’t spend too much time eulogising! But to finish what I want to say … His name … Continue reading WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN?
VISUALISING
Nearly two weeks of self-isolation and we’re still shell-shocked by what’s happening to us all. The news from a variety of TV stations is keeping us in touch with the superficial stuff, but what’s going on at a much deeper level is hard to fathom. After I’ve written this piece, we’ll be watching the London … Continue reading VISUALISING
RAMBLING
Dear Friends, It’s been one of those days when the list of tasks seemed endless, not at all like a Sunday should be – sprawled in a deckchair with a good book! Before getting going in the morning, there were animals to be fed, contact breakers to be reconnected, doors to be unlocked. This morning … Continue reading RAMBLING
UPDATE & AN INVITATION
I expect most of us will have noticed how much we can tell about people, their beliefs, priorities and general lifestyles from the contents of their supermarket trollies! They can be real eye-openers. Where they’re coming from is all there in what they buy! Another way to learn a lot about those we know (and … Continue reading UPDATE & AN INVITATION
WHAT WE ALL NEED TO KNOW
Some years back, I began to see the biggest problem with the mainstream media in all its forms. It’s practically impossible to tell fact from fiction so nowadays I will, almost invariably, search for a consensus. When I think I might be getting near to the truth, I will do a quick check on the … Continue reading WHAT WE ALL NEED TO KNOW
