That’s good because it’s National I love Horses Day Unfortunately, I lost the only photo I have of me riding a horse. So instead here is a photo of my mother with her sister and brother in the fifties. I did a lot of horse riding as a child and teenager, but the last time… Continue reading Do you fancy taking a Ride?

What Are They?
Recently my sister and I were walking in the local park with the dogs when we came across piles of earth like this. What are those, she asked. Immediately, I was transported back to being a young child. When we went camping, Mum would cook dinner and Dad would take us out. He’d find a… Continue reading What Are They?
Reblogged – Pets I Visited in Canada
This is an absolutely adorable post by fellow blogger and all round nice person, Darlene Foster. We meet all the dogs in her family and being a dog lover, it’s was wonderful to see them.

Reblogged June 2024 Bullet Journal Setup – A Desert Theme
I keep a bullet journal and do a set up each month. I really enjoy it. It’s so nice to see this one and it has a lovely theme. Most journals have a monthly theme and I often struggle to come up with one. I’m not very artistic but what I do is pretty and… Continue reading Reblogged June 2024 Bullet Journal Setup – A Desert Theme
My Review of Broken by Ellen Read
I receive Ellen Read’s newsletter and when she offered ARCs of her new release, I immediately asked for one. I love getting an advanced copy of a book, although unfortunately I missed the release date. Usually I have the review up to coincide with the day. Short stories have always been my favourite. This is… Continue reading My Review of Broken by Ellen Read
My Review – The Day the Earth Turned – Spring by Chantelle Atkins
I've reached the final instalment of the series and what a finale. It's been a rollercoaster of a journey into the end of the world where all the adults have died leaving the children in charge. I found the story to be moving, challenging, dark, and simply brilliant. The children from book one have grown… Continue reading My Review – The Day the Earth Turned – Spring by Chantelle Atkins
My Review – Ceekee The Mermaid Cop
I had the honour of reading Ceekee, The Mermaid Cop before the publication date as an ARC and I loved it. The story is sweet and kind with a moral behind it. The young author's imagination brought us the sweet mermaid cop in such a delightful story. Along with the vivid illustrations it is an… Continue reading My Review – Ceekee The Mermaid Cop
Karen’s Chat on Free Thought
I took a break from Facebook during Christmas. It was nice to not endlessly scroll and feel the need to like and comment all the time. It’s a constant information overload knowing what everyone else is doing all the time, and in a way getting involved in their lives. When I returned to social media,… Continue reading Karen’s Chat on Free Thought
Karen’s Chat about Memorable Holidays
All of us children, with the dogs in Pitlochry. One of the most memorable holidays I had as a child was to Pitlochry in Scotland in 1965. In those days, a lack of continuous motorways meant the journeys took a lot longer, and in our case two days! I was seven and travelled with my… Continue reading Karen’s Chat about Memorable Holidays
National Mutt Day – July 31st
Click the image for more information. Today is ideal to share a story about my 'mutt', my Heinz 5, mongrel dog. His name was Ricky and my Mum and Dad let me choose him from a pet shop window.
