Is June Bursting Out All Over?

Naughty OC for eating all those cakes, but nice OC too for visiting the Old Guy. But the burning question is were the scones jam first or cream first? Regarding Schofield, I think he was dangerously close to being guilty of grooming a minor so it is understandable that the affair is newsworthy altho...

Did you know Britain has invaded 90% of the countries in the world? British people, how does it feel to be part of the biggest war-mongering nation in history? It's been a while since I mongered a war. I remember my dear old mother pushing me outside with the end of her broom, shouting between her ...

Here be dragons...

It might be a while before I post more dragon pics. Yesterday I found three dismembered insect wings floating on the pond which would suggest bird predation.

York is a bit of a shambles. (see what I did there?)
Good luck to both cat owners with their aches and pains. Mina won't know what hit her, poor thing. OC should stop whinging about the cost or I'll set Merry onto you. :whip

What's happening in the garden!

I went through a phase of letting the back garden grow wild then attack with a brushcutter twice a year. It didn't work so when I had the first pond dug the guy I hired also attempted to dig the garden. He was getting nowhere because it was heavy clay. I hired a rotovator and he struggled with that ...

I said Mr Witchell was pro-royal, not that the royals were pro-Witchell. :D
I remember it was at a photoshoot at Klosters that the former prince was overheard making disparaging remarks about him. I have no idea why he isn't liked.
