Ramblings from the farm
Howdy! How is everyone doing on this fine, sunny day (note: weather was accurate at time of writing). Shall we play British Summer-Sayings BINGO? A point for every one of these you’ve heard or said since the “heatwave” began: “It’s scorchio out there” (bonus point for terrible accent attempt) “I’m roasting” “I’m not complaining…but it’s almost too hot” “It’s bloody boiling” […]
A cordial good-day to you gentle reader, It is I, Lady Whistleton (no copyright infringements here, thank you very much). I realise it has been a while since I last penned my column, and for that I apologise profusely. God, I absolutely bloody love Bridgerton! Glamourous costumes, ostrich feather fans, sparkling jewellery, lavish balls, intricate hairstyles, all in a house […]
I don’t know about you, but although I want to look and feel healthier, more toned and svelte….food calls me like the ocean calls Moana. Me: I will probably sleep better and feel better if I just get up, do my stretches, have breakfast, wash my face, do some affirmations and then start work. Also me: I’m knackered and it’s […]
Well hello there! It’s been quite some time since we last crossed paths. I thought I was overdue putting pen to paper (or rather, digits to keyboard) and updating you on my antics. A lot of time has passed, so here is a synopsis! December We celebrated an early Christmas with family, and as we were getting ready to head […]
Well hello there, it’s been a while! Life has been pretty busy: Cornwall, a wedding (not mine), spending time with family from far and wide…oh and I had COVID again. And boy did it wipe me out! Anyway, let’s focus on the good stuff…. Our Summer holiday commenced with a lovely long weekend camping in Cornwall. The journey down on […]
Like a lot of people, I start every day with good intentions. But generally by 09:26 I have eaten a bowl of Shreddies, scrambled eggs…..and four squares of Dairy Milk. FFS. There is also a box of Strawberry Sensation Pop Tarts that taunt me every time I open the kitchen cupboard…. My daily aim isn’t too taxing: eat some fruit […]
Riddle me this. How (and indeed, why) does my duvet cover manage to ensnare every item of clothing when I put it in the wash? I have to empty it out onto the carpet every single time (plus side: it’s good arm workout) and I find all sorts of things balled up in the corners, from socks to tea towels…. […]
Hello! How was your Easter? I managed to NOT eat the four eggs that have been on top of the fridge FOR 6 WEEKS! So come the Bank Holiday weekend, I demolished them as if I had given up chocolate since 1996, not this years Lent* *Just to clarify, I did not actually give up chocolate for Lent. Charlotte came […]
I have just come in from a walk in the crisp March air. To be precise, I popped outside, turned the corner and then legged it back home – it’s bloody freezing out! As an alternative, I turned on You Tube and found an exercise video: 12 minutes and 1700 steps – BOOM – I got Fit With Rick to […]
According to Fitbit app stats, my only exercise so far this year must have been chasing flies around the living room with “The Exterminator” fly-killing racquet. It has been far too windy and cold to motivate me to leave the house, and I have been hoping I might lose weight through osmosis whilst watching the Winter Olympics, but alas, no […]
Hi! Some of you may remember me from my hormonal backpacking adventures in 2017.
For those new to my ramblings, my blog is an honest account of my experiences, with some humour thrown in for good measure!
Only this time…I’m in lockdown!
I don’t really have any….just a bit of life experience, a passion for sharing my writing and a lot of grey hair.
