Blackthorn, part of our hedgerow, we planted it about nine years ago and it is looking rather splendid and well established, we never intended it as ‘stock proof’ sort of barrier, just an enhancement of the ‘green corridor’ that flanks the boundary between our field and the lane.
It also has the look of my hair (and head!) My hair could be described as luggy at the moment. I’ve decided my ‘soft curls’ phase is over, I’m going back to trimmed efficiency at least that way I know where I’m at.
The weather is also messed up, blossom and sunlight is on the wane, snow and wind are forecast. Watch this space.
Watching the rhythm of rural life, from the top of a hill in northern England.
Having spent most of my life avoiding writing, I now need to do it!
I am no domestic goddess, but if I were expecting visitors to my home, I would whisk round with the duster and plump up the cushions and generally make the place look presentable. I hope that by putting my words where others may see them it will encourage me to ‘tidy up and push the Hoover around’ my writing.
On the other hand I may just be adding to the compost heap. Only time will tell!
Pull up a chair, sit yourself down, I’ll put the kettle on.
The weather is messed up to here. And so is my garden . But not my hair: I just cut it down (using my trimmer) to the usual 6 inch
I hope you get control of the rest of the mess over there around you!

The times I’ve been tempted to adopt hubby’s hairstyle (ie, shaved off completely), the only thing stopping me is how cold my head would get!
