A Whole New (Dara) World..
At last!!! Having now had Dara every month for the last 4 and a half years – bloody hell – the miracle has finally happened. Dara has gone from being an IV infusion – an all day, cannulated, attached to a drip stand bit of an effort, where I'm in the Dark Side from 9.30am-4.30pm…

Big Boys, Babies & Pupdogs
So this was a very exciting week of meeting people's new puppies – popped over to Hatch's to check out little Polly, who wasn't there when I arrived. But about 5 minutes later a small brown leggy thing hurled herself up into my garden chair and started licking my face off. Now that's what I…

The First Pub Lunch!
Wooooooooooooo!!!!!!!! One small step for man, one giant leap towards a tuna mayo sandwich.. Hatched a plan with Mr H this Monday for him to cycle out to Abinger Hammer in the Surrey Hills with Jules (who, bless him, then cycled all the way home) and for me to drive with the fur beast to…

Luckily, there has clearly been not a whole fat lot going on, so here comes the latest little batch of pics from our somewhat reduced lifestyles. Actually, its been pretty much ok, if not actually fairly good.…

One for Sorrow..
You'll be glad I didn't;t actually take a photo of this, but it is the saddest thing. Magpies apparently have a partner for life and stick together – hence the upside of the saying 'one for sorrow, two for joy' – because normally there are two of them in sight. So it was a bit…

And All Of A Sudden..
…somehow, it was already June. Stunning weather, hot days – oh to be by an infinity pool, looking over some beautiful watery view… Ah well, in the absence of any possibility of that we are making do – pretty well to be fair – with Dora Road, the garden and a few trips out to…

The eve of week 11
Do you know what? This lockdown t time is actually going really quickly I think! Just with the small change of being allowed to see 1 person (or 2 on the drive), life has suddenly felt SO much more normal. Sure, we won't be hosting 10 person BBQs any time soon – let alone leaping…
