National Poetry Day

It's National Poetry Day
So I'd just like to say
That you could do worse
Than buy my little book of verse

Things you find on the beach

I'm better at writing than I am at crafts but nevertheless I'm still well chuffed to bits with this 'To The Beach' sign I made. Well, when I say I made it, I mean my husband drilled the holes and I did the arty bit.  The sign's been made from two smooth as silk bits of driftwood we found on the beach where we live.  The blue rope was also found on the sands, as were all the glass pebbles and the blue and white stone at the end of the arrow.  We've now got our hand-made home-made sign hanging by the front door in case we forget where we're going.

And strolling on the beach yesterday after this week's heavy storms, I found a dragon.

Nigella's knockers

What a waste of telly space Nigella Lawson is.

There are hundreds and thousands of more talented, hard working women and men out there. But they (whoever they are, salivating telly execs I'd guess) think more expsoure of Nigella's breast and leg recipes is what the viewing public wants.

Not me. Nigella Lawson is a recipe to turn the telly over and watch something less sickly and gooey instead.

And yes, I have used a picture of a tree instead of that awful woman.
