The Good Life: February 2015
http://jo-thegoodlife.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Charting the progress on my allotment in Leeds, West Yorkshire. Friday, 27 February 2015. Back in 2013 I treated myself to a new plant each month. I followed one of Geoff Hamilton's tips, buying a plant in flower each month of the year so that I'd have something blooming in the garden the whole year round. It has increased in size though, and as you can see, it's just starting to bud up. It should have a mass of flowers given time. Its flowers are produced in late winter and early spring, so it sounds as...

Charting the progress on my allotment in Leeds, West Yorkshire. Monday, 29 June 2015. Photo Medley - June. It's hard to believe that it's time again for my monthly photo medley, half the year's gone already. So, on with this month's round up of photos. I bought a foxglove last year from a local plant sale. At the beginning of the month it was just starting to come in to flower. The lake always looks so tranquil with the weeping willows draping over it. Irises at Harlow Carr. I love this seahorse. My pota...

The Good Life: Colour In July
http://jo-thegoodlife.blogspot.com/2015/07/colour-in-july.html
Charting the progress on my allotment in Leeds, West Yorkshire. Saturday, 4 July 2015. In 2013 I followed the late Geoff Hamilton's advice and visited a garden centre or nursery each month of the year with a view to buying a plant in flower. This should ensure that there's something flowering in my garden every month of the year. Saturday, July 04, 2015. July 04, 2015. All the best Jan. July 04, 2015. July 04, 2015. July 04, 2015. July 04, 2015. July 04, 2015. July 05, 2015. Its a very pretty plant but d...

Charting the progress on my allotment in Leeds, West Yorkshire. Saturday, 30 May 2015. Photo Medley - May. It's time for this month's round up of photos, again, no particular theme here. A stone lion at Harlow Carr. Two lions guard six Doric columns which were originally from the Cheltenham Spa Rooms in Harrogate and were donated to Harlow Carr by the Yorkshire Archaeological Society in the 1960's. This is the site where the main entrance to the gardens used to be. Poppy bud starting to open. I hope you'...

thistlebear: August 2015
http://www.thistlebearhome.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 31, 2015. Saturday, August 29, 2015. Martha and Me - August. This month, I tried another recipe for my Martha and Me challenge - Peach Pie Crumble Bars. From the July/August issue of Martha Stewart Living. Magazine (click the link to see the recipe on Martha's site). I had hoped to try something else too, but August was a busy month and to be honest, this issue of the magazine was a bit lean on interesting ideas. In July, I had made Strawberry Shortcake Sundaes. Thursday, August 27, 2015.

thistlebear: December 2014
http://www.thistlebearhome.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 29, 2014. Two years ago today, I published my first post to this blog. I'd been an avid reader of blogs for a long time and thought it might be fun to have my own, but I wasn't sure I had enough to say. Thursday, December 25, 2014. Merry Christmas from our family to yours! Tuesday, December 23, 2014. Saturday, December 20, 2014. I realized that I've already made it to December 20 without watching Love Actually. And I think I'll remedy this tonight. After that, A Christmas Story. After st...

Pear Delirium: clutching at.........

Wednesday, 27 June 2012. When i look around clothes shops which is not as often as I would like, or when i peek in the boutique windows on the way to yoga in Berkhamsted my eyes immediately seek out handbags. They did this even before i started making them, but my mindset has gone from - oo I'd really like that blimey how much? To - I wonder how they make that then. Rings to add c . hain to which can then be kept inside. Anyway she has now got a unit in the unique Fleetville Vintage Emporium. Which is a ...
