26 Dec: Ten Things of Thankful
In no particular order: 1. Nico says that I’m ninety ten years old. And to think that just a few days ago I walked 17.9 kilometres around London. Not half bad for a woman who’s 100, however I’m filled with thankfulness that I’m not 100. Yet. 2. I am happy as a dog with two…

20 Dec: Ten Things of Thankful
In no particular order: 1. I am more than just a little thankful that all the Christmas food shopping is done … because it’s a madhouse out there! Our usual supermarket had a queue of cars three long blocks down the road. And I am not one to wait in a queue for more than…

Friday 13th: Ten Things of Thankful
In no particular order: 1. Lovely soft cashmere bed socks on a freezing cold night; my feet are eternally thankful for small mercies. 2. British strawberries in December. I am thankful for agricultural miracles but may I have a Christmas Mandarin orange, please. 3. I suppose I should be thankful that it’s not snowing, but…

7 Dec: Ten Things of Thankful
In no particular order 1. I am thankful that the storm (yes, another one, plus one more is sitting off-shore) that blew through West Sussex earlier this week didn’t cause too much damage. A few limbs fell, and no leaves left on the trees, but that means no more raking leaves (always looks on the…

30 Nov: Ten Things of Thankful
In no particular order … 1. Thankful that the publisher’s proof doesn’t require amendments because as the world turns, so does my desire not to stay fixated on one thing. 2. I am thankful that our Christmas shopping for each other is finished. Now to shop for the younger grandchildren who already have more toys…

22 Nov: Ten Things of Thankful
In no particular order: 1. I am thankful to find a crown of turkey to feed 10 in the midst of November (turkey isn’t usually seen fresh in British supermarkets in November because we don’t do Thanksgiving in UK), but I found one … and it’s hard as a rock in the freezer. 2. And…

15 Nov: Ten Things of Thankful
In no particular order 1. I am more than thankful that the supermarket has fresh fruit back in the bins. Sainsbury’s even has watermelon, which I didn’t buy. Watermelon should be a summer fruit, but I bend my moral footprint stick when it comes to strawberries – my husband loves strawberries in his oatmeal. I…

8 Nov: Ten Things of Thankful
In no particular order: 1. For 14 (can that be right? Must be …) creative and inspiring years on WordPress where I’ve met some of the most talented people who are beyond the definition of generous with their time and expertise, and for all the life-long friends, and more recent ones as well, that I’ve…

1 Nov: Ten Things of Thankful
In no particular order: 1. I am thankful for the old, often forgotten, twittens in West Sussex, which is an old Sussex (ie., archaic) word for single-track lanes between open spaces, like a forest or a fields. I can walk along this track and not encounter another vehicle or person all day (unless my husband…

24 Oct: Ten Things of Thankful
In no particular order: TTOT 26 Oct Week 43 1. I’m very thankful that the branch, about the heft of a muscular man’s arm, that fell to ground during Sunday’s storm … missed the greenhouse. 2. Thankful for one sunny day after days of rain and wind that knocked over all my sunflowers. Nature does…
