Moving House (again)

Ok todays the day - I sit here typing and just killing time until we go collect  the keys to our new home!!!!

Its very exciting... I cant wait to start this new project and have our own place to do what we want with and have the garden to work with.  We are very lucky the house has been well kept and is ready to move into - We just need to address some decorating issues really to make it our own space - and this will take time and thought.  The garden is already amazing and I'm looking forward to seeing it grow and transform over the next year - it has been much loved and I expect it to have surprises every month!!!

I have space to set up a new studio and Dr Fred has a nice study space to make his own - we are sorry to leave this lovely little house it has been a great space for a while but we realized it could be an an option for the long term... Dr Fred is really looking forward to a proper sized bedroom instead of the box room we use now of course the views are not quite so big skies but - I'm excited about cooking on gas ha ha its amazing how the little things can count... dining room, hallway, pond, wood burner, green houses, space .. space.. bring it on!!!

Meanwhile we are now in total chaos - two weeks of enjoyable festivities with non stop guests and little packing opportunities we are now rushing around like mad things getting everything sorted - we are surrounded by boxes and bags and the house looks very bare and sorry for itself - transition is a messy process but hopefully soooo worthwhile.

Total Eclipse Spain 2026

Eclipse day!!!!  Most of the photos on here were taken by friends...my phone died...  I dont use names on here but you know who you are thank you....  This will be Dr Freds 8th eclipse and my 6th... I have 100% clear viewing and its continued that way. Our friends have this amazing house tucked away on the side of a hill - fortuitously right on the centre line of the 2026 eclipse.  And... to make it even better they have a roof terrace which gave us an almost perfect elevation to see the total eclipse in all its glory.   Dr Fred wasnt sure at first - he worried that as totality was so close to sunset we might not be high enough before the sun disappeared under the ridge.  So, the evenings leading up to the night of the actual event, required a lot of balancing on the roof with spirit levels at various degrees and exact timings for exact positioning of the sun and considerable maths.... yes it was complicated but it p...

Autumnal Garden Days

I love these (rare) warm sunny late summer days and there is all sorts of lovely things  going on in my garden... I counted 12 red admiral butterflies whizzing around the over grown ivy which I had been about to hack down but then left until the flutterbies have finished with it... The late blooms add a dash of colour and the daisy strewn lawn is littered with autumnal leaves, debris from my brief half an hour of slash and burn and the stone wall is covered in glorious soft moss all shiny and tactile with a few late nasturtiums loitering. I've hacked out the brambles for this year, sadly I missed the fruit as we were away, ditto the strawberries, we never seem to get the fruit before the birds so I've made space and moved the plants that were getting swamped and so not performing to their potential - hopefully next year they will literally blossom now they have light and room to flourish.

Goodbye Dissertation!!!

The dissertation is finished...  it took me ages to do all the detail stuff Harvard referencing ect... the simplest tasks were starting to drive me mad!! I cant believe how long it took me to work out how to number pages excluding the first two pages aagghhhh...  I suppose I should be grateful that its not like the olden days where you had to get it typed and bound before hand in - this essay has been a hard slog, a subject which I felt was interesting - how the digital explosion is ruining traditional creative methods turned into a fairly unexciting - pretty boring unexceptional topic!  there will never be a next time but my advice is think of something funky - does Danny Boyle like garden Gnomes - Racoon meets Lady Gaga - anything that might surprise you but not too grown up!! I have worked hard and will be rewarded with a mid grade because there is no passion in this essay - the hard slog is evident as is the lack of enthusiasm - C'est la vie you cant win them all....
