We’ve had two enormous red deer stags in our garden of late. Apparently they have been seen all over the village and some meanies don’t like them. I like them even though they have been destroying our seed feeders. I also noticed that yesterday we had loads of cherries on our tree and today we […]
Not written much of late, largely because I haven’t had much to write about. Don’t really go anywhere apart from to see my Mum occasionally and I don’t do much walking any more as I hurt my foot very badly last year I’ve not been paying any attention to the idiot Boris Johnson and his […]
I’m going to stop reading the news from today. A world where protests are allowed over someone who died in a different country over at the far side of the world, and now they are banning them over a serving police office in London who killed a girl and dumped her in a drain beggers […]
The poor engineer had to come over in the Dunoon ferry due to those idiots closing the road again. I am not an engineer but I honestly believe that this idiotic digging of pits has just destabized the whole thing and made matters a whole lot worse than it was before they started. If we […]
I just got an order from Array Fish from Inveraray. When they started delivering it was just Fish, but now they are doing all kinds of other stuff including vegetable boxes and organic local milk. The Argyll economy could frankly use a major boost after all this nonsense has gone on so I am supporting […]

My grandfather was a builder’s labourer. In the 1930s he would need to get up every morning and see whether there had been frost. If […]
Another feature of modern life which I frankly detest. The word for a dramatist of the female gender is “actress” A male police person is a “police man” and a female one is “police woman”.
Between Brexit and Covid it is not looking that good for fresh food for summer. So I have bought some heritage carrot and beetroot seeds. I am going to plant them in some raised beds as I had no luck with planting stuff in the main garden as it was immediately attacked by wireworms. I […]
It even started to snow a little at ground level but it has largely turned to slush now.
Afraid I haven’t posted for a while but I am going to get back into it now. I’ve not been very well and those total idiots in the government gave me a huge extra piece of work to do. Basically I had booked a lovely little lodge at Drymsynie for my parents and brother. At […]
