You may have seen from my recent post Ode to a field, that I have been trying to defend a Skylark and its habitat. They have been seasonally nesting in the field behind our home for decades. For how much longer remains to be seen. The excavator has been busy at the back fence Just … Continue reading Being a Wildlife Activist When You Have a Chronic Illness
You may have read my previous post Ode to a Field, about locally endangered Skylarks. Once I had started to settle down emotionally I was able to look at the ongoing situation here in a more proactive way. But it hasn't been and isn't easy. To the point of my local Council asking me to … Continue reading Exploring Screen Reader Apps
This piece is dedicated to the beautiful fields that have been my sanity for 17 years of Chronic Illness and the few before. I have spent many hours just absorbing their beauty. And it is endless. Before I became ill, walking them with my children and then doggo on my time off from work, jumping … Continue reading Ode to a Field

Easing of Restrictions I'm not a one for magic or magic tricks. But today in the UK stage two of easing restrictions begins. We are no longer … Continue reading We Begin To Smile Again
Whether a Royalist or not, (I'm somewhere in the middle I think) yesterday without doubt will have touched the heart of the UK Nation. The husband of Her Majesty the Queen, The Duke of Edinburgh, passed away peacefully at 99-years-old. As so many famillies have experienced bereavement over the most horrible past eighteen months, and … Continue reading A Nation’s Sadness
I am so enjoying doodling. You noticed! Hehehe! It's just so relaxing. A great way to unwind and distract the mind. Ooh that rhymes. I had tried to emulate some styles I have seen on Instagram and admire, which are very much shades off mocca, neutrals and pinks. But after drawing our goldfish, you can … Continue reading Landscapes And Water
