  • That They Might Face The Rising Sun

    I’m finally getting around to watching some of the stuff I recorded over Christmas, and in yesterday’s case it wasn’t the one just gone. I finally watched “That They Might Face The Rising Sun” (in case you hadn’t guessed). I’m slightly undecided about it but I think I shall come down on the favourable side.… Read more

  • Strange Saturday Achievements

    Ok, so you know how we’re all just one click away from going down a rabbit hole? Well I’ve just been on google maps looking at the grave of Richard Burton and obviously that lead to the grave of Dylan Thomas. They are so simple, and with that simplicity was beauty and peacefulness. My rabbit… Read more

  • Ethel & Ernest

  • Christmas Music – Stop The Cavalry

    Ok I’ve tried to hold off from being Christmassy but I can’t do it any longer – if I do I think I’ll burst! Today in work we were talking about Christmas Films – I’ll keep that for another post ’cause Christmas really does make me smile so there’s LOADS to say about it.  Anyway… Read more

  • Favourite Cartoon

    If you were to ask me what was my favourite cartoon I would have to answer Yogi’s First Christmas!  Come December I scour the Radio Times looking for it on the Cartoon Network. There was a time when I was looking to get it on DVD and all that was to be had was a… Read more

  • Mothers Day ’09

    I woke up this morning with a sore throat and a raging headache. However I had told Mam that I would go with her to the shops so up and out we went. She is making wedding invites for my cousin so we were out looking at various colours for various types of paper. I… Read more
