genialgemsandothergabblings: March 2014

http://genialgemsandothergabblings.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html

Day to day life from a Lancashire Garden. Friday, 14 March 2014. I thought I would share some of the view around Keswick that I took when we were up there earlier this year. The snow on the top fells had been melting and making its way down the waterfalls and streams and came in a tremendous rushing ,frothing ,foaming torrent into the River Greta that flows through Keswick. Rowing boats sitting idle at Derwentwater. Black and white shot of the Jetty. Winter scene at Derwentwater. Spark Bridge Terrace at ...

genialgemsandothergabblings: Wildlife in the Lanes

http://genialgemsandothergabblings.blogspot.com/2014/09/wildlife-in-lanes.html

Day to day life from a Lancashire Garden. Friday, 5 September 2014. Wildlife in the Lanes. Coming back from doing the shopping yesterday, I took the route on my bike that bypasses the busy roads and instead used the green lanes the wind around the back of New Longton. I was hoping to see wildlife as I had taken my camera and I was not disappointed. First there were a pair of Buzzards criss-crossing the fields in search of a snack,then a kestrel made an appearance hovering after some prey. I often wonder ...

genialgemsandothergabblings: Charlotte Bronte and Wycoller Hall

http://genialgemsandothergabblings.blogspot.com/2013/02/charlotte-bronte-and-wycoller-hall.html

Day to day life from a Lancashire Garden. Sunday, 3 February 2013. Charlotte Bronte and Wycoller Hall. I thought we would miss the snow.and to a large extent we did but on the Monday 2 weeks ago we awoke to a lovely scene of all the trees ,bushes and lawn covered in a good few inches. Bebe was less enthusiastic, tiptoeing around the garden to get up for his food and then spent the rest of the time the snow lay on the ground, asleep in his warm cosy bed in the greenhouse. The fireplace at Wycoller Hall.

http://genialgemsandothergabblings.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html

Day to day life from a Lancashire Garden. Friday, 27 December 2013. Nella Last's Christmas blues! We all put a lot of planning ,thought and expectation into our festive celebrations and sometimes it all goes just perfectly and other times we can feel a bit let down. Like the wartime diarist Nella Last said, it sometimes all feels as if it's not living up to the promise. It has been a year full of all that Life can throw at you, lovely things and not so nice things but here we are again ready to say goodb...

genialgemsandothergabblings: Escape to the Country

http://genialgemsandothergabblings.blogspot.com/2009/07/escape-to-country.html

Day to day life from a Lancashire Garden. Tuesday, 14 July 2009. Escape to the Country. I have been having a change and as you see the blog looks slightly different. Last week I took myself off for 4 days to the Lakes, only 40mins from here and a completely different world. Walking boots on I had a lovely time walking along the meadows and lanes , stopping to sit and take in the wonderful views. The exercise and fresh air and scenery soon recharge your battery and off you go again! 16 July 2009 at 09:27.

http://genialgemsandothergabblings.blogspot.com/2011/08/scarborough-and-grand-hotel.html

Day to day life from a Lancashire Garden. Tuesday, 16 August 2011. Scarborough and The Grand Hotel. I love Scarborough with the wide sweeping bay, the castle set high on the cliff top looking down over the town,the little streets with interesting shops and the lights at night that give it such a lovely holiday atmosphere. Sun rise over the harbour. The Sun coming up over Scarborough harbour. Here Lies Ann Bronte. The Grand Hotel Reception hall. She loved Scarborough , especially walking along the sands.

Day to day life from a Lancashire Garden. Friday, 25 April 2014. Shabby Chic Garden bits and Bobs! We have had some lovely Spring days recently and. I have made the most of them a got on with jobs that needed doing in the garden. The area around the Summer house needed brightening up so I gathered together lots of pretty containers and planted them up and grouped them on the veranda of the summerhouse and the results were really cheerful. Lovely little owl pot I found! Tulips my favourite flowers. The jo...
