Today was crisp before it became overcast and wet, my garden is budding, all the bulbs that I planted seem o be heading up for the light, it’s very exciting except that none of them look small enough to be the snowdrops although I may be mistaken on this. Everything is beginning to build up … Read More

I came across this quote today on the Greymatter site. It’s from Marcos Aurelius (I think that that’s spelt wrong) Its something I’ve been trying to figure out how to say for a while, and look, somebody already said it and very simply too. The way we think, how we see things as being thats … Read More

The year will end tonight and another one wil begin, I am feeling really very cyclical indeed. I am going to Byron’s party although I’m not entirely convinced that I won’t head for the hills at some point before midnight and greet the new year under the stars. I don’t know.

At some point in the night the snow turned into sleet, then rain and it all melted away. It left behind a grey veil for the greying, dying year. My Grandma’s birthday last year was like most of her birthdays in recent years, we went to a pub called the Hayride near where she lived … Read More
