More Greenmen...

A selection of the greenmen I have available in store now. Hang these indoor or outdoors and enjoy their vibrancy and good omens in your own home. A figure that represents the male side of nature, fertility and rebirth. Also thought to be the reason we touch / knock on wood, to stave off bad luck, by offering up a prayer to the king of the tree spirits. Don’t we all touch wood when we wish…

That's a thought...

I’m just going to leave this here… Have a great weekend.

PHYSIS  - Review.

5 Star ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Physis by Beloved Marshall Elm Read this. By far, the best book I’ve read this year. I’m not a fan of historic set books but this starts in current day yet seamlessly tells a colourful and enchanting tale of Charles I. It has everything you could want from a book, the characters are beautiful written and truly come to life off the page. There is Intrigue, love, passion,…

Hotel Avacado  - Review

The Hotel Avacado by Bob Mortimer. 3.5/5 stars After reading The Satsuma Complex I couldn’t resist going in for this follow on title. It involves the same characters, who i really like and follows Gary, Emily & Grace on another series of mishaps and dark situations, all made amusing by Bob Mortimer. Would we expect any less from him. This time Gary is embroiled in a court case or is he? His…

Wintering...

Finally, the sun has appeared and I am emerging from my wintering. The crocuses are showing off their magnificent purple cloaks, taking over from the perfect little snowdrop that always bring hope in the darker days. Colour is returning, and with it our hope and energy. A time for us to begin to make plans and embrace the coming seasons. I am quick to remind myself that the year is still young,…

The People on Platform 5 - review.

The people on platform 5 by Clare Pooley. 4/5 ⭐️ This is such a nice read, a real feel good story. It shows us all kinds of human nature and how with a little shove we all have the capacity to care about something other than ourselves. The characters are incredibly likeable and well written. It’s not my normal kind of read but wa recommended to me, I’m so glad it was. An easy read that is sure…

Wolf

In the heart of a frozen forest, a majestic wolf emerged from the shadows, its silver fur shining like freshly fallen snow. With piercing eyes, it surveyed its domain, the guardian of winter. The wind howled, but the wolf stood proud, embodying strength and grace. As night fell, it howled to the moon, a haunting melody that echoed through the trees, summoning the spirits of the wild. The forest…

Bored!

So boredom has kicked in, now I’m in that space between being too ill to actually do anything and being better. So how do I fill my time now? Tomorrow work will beckon, even though I am bored I must admit to having enjoyed a chance to have time to read and wallow in my own space for a while. So normal service will be resumed, but for now, I will be happily bored as I grab a handful of tissues.

Sir Frank Dicksee.

A gentleman who in my world is never overlooked. He left us on this day in 1928. He was one of (in my opinion) one of our finest artists. I first discovered him through his painting of ‘La Belle Dame Sans Merci’ and fell in love with his work. La Belle Dame Sans Merci Even though he was not  part of the pre-raphaelite brotherhood, much of his work is considered as pre-raphaelite. The richness…

Holly - Review

By Stephen King 4/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ All of Mr King’s detective titles have been good, but this one read more like some of his older work. I really enjoyed this. Holly as a character I didn’t really enjoy in the previous books, but in this one she really comes into her own for me. A great story of how life can turn some humans into monsters, King again discovers the worst in people which borders on…
