Back again…
Hello chaps, how’s things? It’s been a while, I know, over a year if we’re counting. Are we counting? Well, let’s assume we’re not bothered by the odd month or twelve of radio silence. I bet you’ve been having a rare old time, I know I have – by which I don’t really mean it’s…

Summer Highlights
Well hello again. It’s sweltering here as I sit in the coolest room in the house (which happens to be my tiny hidey-hole), writing for the first time in a couple of months. I’m not complaining, not really. We’ve had so many summers that failed to fly, summers spent wondering if the sun would ever…

Thinking and not thinking
Just sitting here listening to thunder rumble around somewhere not that far away – isn’t May a frustrating month for weather? No sooner have you turned off the central heating for the summer when temperatures plummet and the rain decides to give you a months worth in one afternoon. Oh well. Anyway, I’m just sneaking…

Whistle Stop April & May
Well hello again. What a busy couple of months it’s been around here (hence I’m afraid to say the lack of recent posts). I’ve just sat and listed the main events and it runs something like this… Visit to Croft Castle Visit to Builth Wells Visit to Bath Visit to Glastonbury Visit to Wells Visit…

Through a different lens.
Hello again. Sometime last week when I made my way into the Hidey-Hole, I found that I just didn’t have the urge to do anything particularly arty.

Garden aspirations

Of course, the main things that reappear in my garden are the bindweed, ground elder, creeping buttercup and green alkanet, but hay-ho, some things are sent to try us. On the…

An early Bath…
Hello again. Spring is in the air – can you feel it? I’m so ready for the turn of the wheel this time. A day out in Bath A couple of weeks ago, I headed off for a day trip to Bath – my first visit there in over two years. It was wonderful and…

The Secret is Process
Hello again. This is a fairly long post – but I hope you’ll read it…x I thought that today I’d talk a little about something that’s sparked a creative leap for me. And it’s really so simple, I can’t think how I forgot about it (because I suspect I did already know it, and you…

January
Hello and a happy New Year to you. I always hesitate to ask how people’s Christmas was, and this year – or should that be last year’s – was probably even weirder than the one before for a lot of us, so shall we move swiftly on? It’s a gradual slide into January and the…

In and out in December…
It’s no secret that I tend to find the low-light days of winter something of a challenge, which is why I’m delighted to say that so far this year, I’m managing to stay pretty buoyant. Maybe it’s the generally mild weather we’ve been having or just a determined effort to stay relaxed. Whichever, all I…

Resurrection
Well hello again! I doubt if there is anyone reading this who was subscribed to Mostly Motley seven years or more ago, but if you are, then all I can say is Wow! Thanks for your patience. If you do remember me – or indeed if this is your first visit – you probably want…
