94. My Father - In Memoriam News!

As old as I am now, my father is still Daddy to me and always will be. Somehow 'Dad' doesn't feel right, it doesn't reflect the love I still have for him even though he died 22 years ago. I still miss him so much. He was what we call here in the UK, a "lovely fella." He was far from perfect but ...

95. Recipes for Bananas

I eat a banana almost every day of my life. I either have it cut up with my breakfast cereal or as part of my lunch. Occasionally, I use them in one of my favourite recipes for bananas. As children, we were often given bananas, sometimes cut up and made into a sandwich. I was born in 1948 and, o...

100. Blackcurrants - A Superfood? News!

The blackcurrant is another great summer fruit. I love the smell of blackcurrants and their foliage when they are growing in the garden. The berry has a strong, delicious flavour but without being too sweet or cloying. In fact, most people eat it cooked and sweetened. It's not just their flavour,...

101. Mowing Your Lawn News!

When lawns in gardens first became fashionable in the 16th century, the only way to cut them was with a scythe, shears or with grazing sheep. The first lawn mower was invented in 1830 and began to be manufactured thirty years later. Of course mowing your lawn keeps it looking good but it also en...

When I was a child in the 1950s, only the very wealthy went out of the UK for holidays (vacations). The rest of us went to English seaside towns. After the schools closed for the summer at the end of June, families prepared for their annual migration to the coast in either July or August. Just l...

My best friend doesn't like lilies. She says the look of them and their scent reminds her of funerals. I know what she means but I love them anyway. I love the way they look, the myriad of varieties as both cut flowers and garden plants and I love the way they perfume a room. I agree their polle...

Throughout the ages, the way to measure time was usually by the movement of sun - daily, monthly and annually.
