T - 2
Making the most of my last two days before I return to work by spending them in the garden. I am so happy the sun is shining 😎
T - 3: Bees in Our Garden Today
Torture Garden
Continuing my run of watching portmanteau horror films of late (without a doubt my favourite movie genre), I watched Torture Garden today. It's a lovely little film, with the first story, about a greedy playboy wanting to get his hands on a horde of witch's gold he thinks his uncle has discovered, easily being easily my favourite stand out tale in the collection :)
Writer's Block!
Despite her best efforts to hinder my progress, tale one of my portmanteau Christmas ghost story is now complete :)
T - 7
I am absolutely determined to finish the first tale of my portmanteau novel before I return to my office job next week...
T - 9 Days
I have just nine days left of my pandemic lockdown before I return to work :o/
Determined to make the most of this time, today I finally managed to completed the latest Sweyne's Eye photography zine. It should be hopefully be published sometime over the next few days :)
Beautiful Borage
The Borage seeds I sowed back in Spring are now coming into their own :) One of my favourite plants in the world. And they are a magnet for honey bees :)
Portmanteau Movies #1 and #2
Getting in the mood to continue my very own collection of portmanteau horror tales by watching my favourite portmanteau movies. Starting with these two Amicus gems 😊
Gifts From My Daughter
I received a parcel in the post this morning from my lovely daughter - a fairies/gnomes waymarker and a gnome :) They have already found a home amongst my plants :)
The magickal waymarker looks very fitting amongst the branches of my oldest Crassula ovata plant. The little pixie in the background is resting atop the stump left when I made a cutting of the plant for my daughter when she left home a couple of years ago. The plant is of sentimental significance as I grew it from a single leaf cutting taken when my daughter was born 25 years ago.

The gnome, too, seems happy sat amongst the leaves of another of my favourite house plants :)
Quiet Life
My local beaches are hectic when the sun shines, with people gathering en masse as though we weren't in the midst of a pandemic! And so, for this evening's walk, I took a more sheltered route through my local woods and park.
