“Tintin is not a superhero; nor does he possess special powers. He is an ordinary person to whom extraordinary things happen.

July In A Nutshell
Why, hello there. First of all, can I lodge an official protest that OVER HALF OF 2018 IS OVER AND I FEEL LIKE THE SUMMER JUST STARTED. #help Ahem. But I digress. This is the monthly wrap up post where I reflect on what happened in the previous month and what I accomplished. I got quite…
Life At Hedgerose – Chapter Three
Chapter Three Twelve Years, Eight Years, Five Years and Four Spring was doing its best to hurry into summer.

Life At Hedgerose – Chapter 2
Chapter Two The New Housekeeper Titus only heard brief snatches of the argument between Folrolf and Honey Winstalk—he deliberately clattered pans in the kitchen so as not to hear much of it—but from the bits that he heard, it sounded as if Honey were taunting Folrolf and claiming that he couldn’t do half of the work that women did. …
April In A Nutshell
What happened to April??? Well, I survived it – that much I know. But as I look back on this month, I wonder why it felt so busy, when it seems I watched an awful lot of TV. “coughs” Ah, well – believe it or not – I was busy. And here’s why! – Reading – I read…
