My Sunday Photo – wasp up close & personal
Getting up close and personal with a wasp for the sake of a good photo. When I was about 11, at school, I was stung by a wasp. It hurt, a lot. It crawled up my leg by my skirt, I didn’t realize, brushed it and it stung me. My knee was sore and swollen […]
READ MOREHome hair cuts. Why I do them and how?
The blog post where I confess I cut my own hair, and why home hair cuts work for me. I have long, thick, wavy (ok it tends to frizz a lot) hair. I have a lot of hair. It’s a blessing and a curse. It grows fast and is hard to manage. It doesn’t like […]

READ MOREMy Sunday Photo – A green ladybird
Ladybird ladybird, fly away home… This ladybird didn’t and it was also GREEN. I have seen orange, red on black, black on red, and even a white ladybird before but not a green one. We have a particular bush in our front garden that seems to be a magnet for ladybirds to lay their eggs […]
