Dear Laurel, My wife and I love reading your blog. Every Sunday, it’s waffles or French Toast, a big pot of coffee. Then, we head to the “woman-cave” to read your blog on the big desktop Mac. But, something I’ve noticed and I hope that you don’t mind my pointing it out, is this. Over […]

I know it's all a bit selfish to take so bloody long to finish the dolls. But in my defence, they were going to be of royal blood, wear tiaras and fancy nightgowns. Well, you can see that didn't pan out at all. The winter whites, and the rusty browns, and the copper and gold and silver were exchan

I fondly remembered the old Victoria magazine's features on gardening and decided to dig them out and see what images I could come up with. I have tore out these features and long since thrown the magazines away. If I knew the the date of the feature I have posted it here as the source, otherwise I don't know the date. source: scanned image from Victoria magazine This was from the magazine and it was also the cover of the magazine. If ever I get to visit England I would love to see a cottage like this. Isn't this rose bush magnificent! source scanned image from Victoria magazine Victoria magazine often took us to England. Here we get a bird's eye view of a spectacular manor house walled garden. source: scanned image Victoria magazine This image is one of the inspirations for my own kitchen garden. Here is a herb garden right out the kitchen door at another manor house. source: scanned image Victoria magazine Always enchanted by a path in a garden. source: image scanned from Victoria magazine Jan.

They only cost around $4 and some change a piece. I have four rose bushes and they have really been beautiful this week. Right out the back door in a shrub a mother robin has taken up residence to raise her young. Not wanting to disturb the nest, I stuck the camera above my head and aimed and caught a peak at the beautiful eggs.

There are places out there in the world which human beings abandoned long ago, leaving nature to reclaim them in their entirety. They often make for a sight that is both frightening and fascinating. They allow us to glimpse a landscape of the future — when humanity has left or ceased to be. The Instagram user itsabandoned offers many such images that help us to think about the future of our world.
