I’m taking a moment here to mourn the loss of my late and lamented blog. I would also like to give thanks to Mr Tomas Toman, whoever he is and wherever he is, who supplied my free Time Turner theme two and a half years … Continue reading New Blog

On Knitting
This is a natter about knitting; a bitchin’ about stitchin’. Yes, during woefully inadequate research for this knitterly post I discovered that here in the UK we have sedate groups of women (knitting is predominantly a female passion) who like to Knit and Knatter, whilst … Continue reading On Knitting
How a spot of knitting saved me from Daniel Radcliffe
Generally, I don’t like to go in for criticism (unless it’s the oodles of literary criticism I used to churn out for an English degree or my attempts at film critiques on here.) Neither do I like to join the internet chorus of hate, aimed … Continue reading How a spot of knitting saved me from Daniel Radcliffe
Audacity 2 – Sing by Gary Barlow/Andrew Lloyd Webber
I’m officially OLD. You know when people say they’re ‘officially this’ and they’re ‘officially that’, well I’m officially middle-aged, officially menopausal, officially going downhill.

Improving Utopia – Part Two
This was how Cedar Terrace house looked (not up there, down here) in my last scintillating Sylvanian post (here) Since then I've been staring goggle-eyed at various Sylvanian Family personal blogs; blogs which all seem to have been abandoned by their owners a couple of … Continue reading Improving Utopia – Part Two
Improving Utopia – Part One
My newly acquired Sylvanian family (see blog post) have been suffering from quite a bit of serious neglect recently, due to the fact that there’s only so much you can do with a house (log cabin) that only has one room and for which you … Continue reading Improving Utopia – Part One
