The Hilariad: April 2008
http://leminencegrise.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 23, 2008. Walk to Maiden Castle. From the entrance to the Bolesworth Estate, the road goes ever on and on. Lesser Celandine hide in the grass and nettles in the verge, like sparkles on water. My mum used to say that you can tell the moment when spring really starts. For weeks the dark brown bulbs of chestnut buds have been forming and growing. Then one morning, they leaves have all flopped down and it has begun. And up and up. We have to go up there. Yes But not before we get a pint.

The Hilariad: October 2007
http://leminencegrise.blogspot.com/2007_10_01_archive.html
Monday, October 15, 2007. Yes, I know, I said I'd keep going, and I will, seriously. But things are in a sort of holding pattern at the moment, with everyone scrambling around trying to get connected to a broadband hookup. It should be easy, but we are dealing with British Telecom and the remote (hah! In this country, "remote" means eight miles from the nearest town, a very interesting phenom) rural village. Still trying to forget the horrors of Liverpool, we wandered up the bank and through the park tha...

The Hilariad: December 2007
http://leminencegrise.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 26, 2007. Away for a bit. Having a holy holiday until Jan 7. Posted by Hilary Jane Margaret White. Saturday, December 22, 2007. An interesting new blog. Well, new to me. I like the template especially. (Wish I was hip to html. I really don't like Blogger templates. Never mind.). I thought his bit on why men don't ask for directions to be fairly good. Straightforward and more or less what I already knew, but good. And I see he also recycles old posts. That makes it OK. Women have a nat...

The Hilariad: 101
http://leminencegrise.blogspot.com/2008/03/stinging-nettle-has-wide-range-of-uses.html
Saturday, March 22, 2008. Stinging nettle has a wide range of uses and is a very versatile medicinal herb. Since biblical times, it has been used to help with arthritis. The practice called urtication (from its botanical name) involved stinging stiff swollen joints affected by arthritis. Urtication often provided considerable relief with reports of arthritic swelling subsiding within minutes after stinging! Nettle may also be used to treat prostate enlargement. Extracts have successfully treated beni...

The Hilariad: November 2007
http://leminencegrise.blogspot.com/2007_11_01_archive.html
Friday, November 30, 2007. Hob's Cross" is the place where two world's meet and important information exchanged but, alas, never used. Posted by Hilary Jane Margaret White. Thursday, November 29, 2007. Woke up this morning to the sun streaming through the wood framed windows. One of those mornings where one feels that everything, including the various difficulties, is. One thing has become abundantly clear, however. I need a dog. A dog, in country like this, is completely indispensable. Could have used a...

The Hilariad: Cottage Life
http://leminencegrise.blogspot.com/2008/03/cottage-life.html
Monday, March 17, 2008. So, I found out that the way you get a name for your house is just to decide on one, buy a sign and stick it on your front door. Or more usually, stick it on the front wall of your house next to the door. So, I've decided to get right into it and name the cottage. I'm leaning towards "Rosehip Cottage" since rosehips have become something of a defining lifestyle choice for me. But I think it might just be a leeetle too twee. Think you're so tough? Well, who's got the thumbs. I like...
