Well now I'm going to add more wood to the stove and listen to a radio play ... today it's this one

"Gull Cottage: a charming cottage to let at an exceptionally reasonable rent. Its only snag is that it's haunted, but the ghost seems to be remarkably cheerful for someone who is supposed to have killed himself - perhaps one could learn to live with such a ghost."
Producer JANE GRAHAM

  1. Beautiful. Nature always does it better when it comes to beauty. Fascinating to see the flowers. I'm sure I've listened to the play. Knowing me only catching fragments. Hope you are keeping warm. Too early for a fire for us.

    1. Nature does top the rest doesn't she. It's cold and damp here and still bucketing down ..I think this Winter may be a long wet and windy one with all the predictions of a strong El Nino... still I suppose you have to take what you get and make the best of it ..and there is tea and the radio :o)

  2. I do love that movie. I've meant to ask if you have read any of Heather Lende's nonfiction books. She lives in Haines.

  3. Hi Nan, Heather Lende used to write a column in the local paper and it was always a good read.
    I think I've read at least one of her books, she writes very well doesn't she. I've driven through Haines but not stopped..it looked very beautiful.

from an old gravestone

If you hold your nose to the Grindstone
and you leave it there long enough,
Then soon you'll say
there's no such things
as brooks that babble
and birds that sing,
these three will all your world compose,
just you, the stone and your poor old nose.

(from memory so may not be word perfect)
