Mossery: Autumn Exploring to Penallt Old Church
http://mossery.blogspot.com/2014/10/autumn-exploring-to-penallt-old-church.html
Monday, October 20, 2014. Autumn Exploring to Penallt Old Church. We went on an autumnal walk from Redbrook to the tiny Penallt Old Church. A 13th Century Grade 1 listed building that turned out to be much more interesting that I first thought. We walked in and someone had made these wonderful harvest festival displays of colourful fruit and flowers on every window ledge. Rainbows of apples, pears, berries, chinese lanterns, courgettes, sheaves of wheat, gourds and pots of the last autumn flowers. I'm El...

Mossery: The drawings of Eugene Morozov
http://mossery.blogspot.com/2012/11/the-drawings-of-eugene-morozov.html
Thursday, November 22, 2012. The drawings of Eugene Morozov. I first came across the drawings of Dyolten (Eugene Morozov) through a Livejournal Moleskine community. He has kindly given permission for me to reproduce some of his art here. I could eulogise so much but I want to let the drawings speak for themselves - let me just say they've been my desktop backgrounds for months. A comparison showing how the works progress through the addition of colour. You can see the artist's Flickr here. Where I grew up.

Mossery: January 2015
http://mossery.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Wednesday, January 28, 2015. What 'exercise more' means to me. I just read a good post on exercise by Wine and Olives. And it has inspired me to write about what physical activity I want to shoehorn into my life this year. I want to read this post when I'm in a slump and remind myself of what I want and can do. Last year, before getting married, I sweatily threw myself around my living room a lot and completed the 30 Day Shred. In 2 months. I had. I actually love you. My secondary school years passed wit...

http://mossery.blogspot.com/2015/07/im-having-another-baby-in-january.html
Wednesday, July 15, 2015. I'm having another baby in January. The difference between this pregnancy and my first one is already pretty drastic. The only thing that's the same is the nausea. God, I had forgotten how absolutely awful that is - not being able to eat anything or smell food or open the fridge without gagging. I hate, hate, hate it. But I know it could be worse so I can't complain too much, I'm not hospitalised or actually vomiting. Too much mess, not enough space in my house, and too thin wal...

Mossery: I play the violin
http://mossery.blogspot.com/p/violin_7.html
I play the violin. You can see all my music and violin related posts here. Langstrom's Pony / The Taproom / Lord Ramsey's Reel. I have played the violin since I was 7 years old. I am 'classically trained' as far as someone who never practiced their scales can be, however these days I prefer to play traditional Irish music. I also have aspirations towards gypsy, manouche and klezmer music. My violin inspirations are Roby Lakatos. And that guy from Guappecarto. By Andrew Paul Regan. Want to book us. Baby s...

Mossery: Harry Clarke monochrome illustrations: morbid and beautiful
http://mossery.blogspot.com/2012/07/harry-clarke-monochrome-illustrations.html
Friday, July 20, 2012. Harry Clarke monochrome illustrations: morbid and beautiful. Harry Clarke (1889-1931) was an Irish stained glass craftsmen. As well as creating beautifully coloured stained glass panes (his favourite shade was deep blue) he was also an illustrator, making his name during the 'golden age' of book illustration along with Beardsley, Dulac, Rackham, and Neilsen. He died from tuberculosis aged 42, possibly exacerbated by the chemicals used in his glass work. I play the violin. I first m...

Mossery: Homemade Christmas tree
http://mossery.blogspot.com/2012/12/homemade-christmas-tree.html
Sunday, December 2, 2012. Everyone is getting festive so, inspired by Nectarine Dreams. I made a little wooden Christmas tree:. It's our last Christmas here in the village so it seemed fitting to build my tree from the dry wood that falls from the strange old yew tree which looms over the garden. Maybe I'll pack it up and take a bit of our old life with us to resurrect next year. December 4, 2012 at 9:37 PM. Last Christmas in the village ! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Mossery: Go to the ant, you sluggard!
http://mossery.blogspot.com/2012/08/go-to-ant-you-sluggard.html
Sunday, August 12, 2012. Go to the ant, you sluggard! From when I went to Marrakesh, a city of storytellers. I went to a storytelling workshop once and the tutor said that everyone had one story that they most identify with, that chimes with how they live their life or what they are. They said that if you search hard enough in your life, 'your story' will become clear to you. Another gratuitous Morocco photo. isn't it incredible though? And the growing sense of guilt that one is dithering over Aesop's fa...
