In A Museum Garden

It’s been an interesting ‘summer’ in the Museum Courtyard, what with the ongoing weeding, the depredations of the May gale, the miserable damp weather and the Installation by Keiko, which is the best thing to happen so far, because Keiko  likes plants and has shown true respect for all the tiny things growing between the [...]

I beg your pardon, I never purromised you an herb garden…

WordPress is playing silly beggars with me and not letting me arrange my pics as I purrlease. I am slightly irritated, but nothing a small Laphroig won’t put right. Wait just a cotton-pickin minute, cat’s don’t drink whisky;  it’s almost as if someone is using me as a medium to reach out to the World, [...]

My (brief) Film Career

Well. Even briefer than I thought. This site does not allow ‘this type of file’ to be uploaded ‘for security reasons’ so, unless you are a Facebooker, you may never see my refulgent pulchritudinousness in movie form. Ever. I can only hope you are all (all six of you) strong enough to bear up under [...]

FREE THE TAMWORTH TWO! (or, Sleeping On The Job)

Look at these poor suffering prisoners! Immured at Cambo House near Crail, their lot in Liff is Hard Labour day in, day out. Their poor snouts are worn to the gristle with digging roots shoots and leaves. Their never-ending task – to clear weed-knotted ground of brambles, dockens, hogweed, creeping buttercup, bishop weed (or ground [...]

Pittenweem Arts Festival 2010…

…started with a BANG! – quite a lot of bangs really – which magnificent display the pu’s were able to watch from a walled garden on the hillside. Seeing a parade of Chinese lanterns float into the clouds beforehand was quite excitin’ but unphotographable with tiny Catcam, so here’s one bang… The weather was very [...]

July In Rolling Ells

It has been a curate’s egg of a summer so far, but still better for prowling&yowling than an average Orkney one. However, mis amiglets©, I have been having a bit of a Trying Time with my WP blog, the widgets of which I will not bore you with, but suffice to say, I thought Something [...]

Falkland – peace not war.

We’ll have none of yer ‘Gotcha’s’ here, thank you very much. This is the village of Falkland in Fife and nothing to do with those faraway islands whose 2000 inhabitants cost so much, one way or another. (And won Maggie T her second term in office, whilst providing a nice distraction from being none-too-chuffed with [...]

Oh, Heaven is a place on Earth…

…brought to us by the St Andrews Preservation Trust Limited – Hidden Gardens of St Andrews 2010. The pu’s, accompanied by Ancient Australian Friend, followed the Trust’s map around 11 of 12 gardens on Sunday, in purrfect weather. No thanks to the Tourist Office, who, having run out of tickets, were unhelpful in the extreme, [...]
