In January 2008 we moved out of town, and acquired a garden and a view. For the most part this blog records what we've done in the garden / house, plus any odd musings on things I find of interest. Something nice (I hope) for us to look back on as memory fades . . . and a way of keeping friends and family up-to-date, which means I don't have to feel quite so guilty about not writing more often! It'll also remind us when we planted what . . .
January-February 2026 – Back to the world of St Mary's, albeit from another perspective with Jodi Taylor's The Ballad of Smallhope and Pennyroyal - as ever great stuff, very amusing, and nice to find out more about two of her more intriguing characters.
January 2026 – Something a bit different with a treatise on the possible origins of a 'real' Robin Hood, Sean McGlynn's Robin Hood: A True Legend - interesting read, and learnt some stuff I didn't know too.
