My little garden grows fairly quick, and looking back at my last update over 3 weeks ago, so much has changed. I have three **jasmine** plants and since I've added some strings t…

It's funny where life on Hive takes you. Last month it took me to a little town called Crewkerne about 50 miles away from me. We have many pretty little towns and villages nearby, …

This weekend we had our annual family summer barbeque. They're always a big affair, 23 old and young hearts this year. The weather forecast was stormy and got us a bit worried. Luc…

First of all, I can't wait to show off my new garden. I had it done a few weeks ago, digging up all the crap and clay, and replaced it with fresh soil and new turf. Now I have a ve…

This is my 7th Chit Chat Friday post, and each week I like to talk about different topics to try to drive up engagement on Hive. This week's topic is an extension of something I d…

England has an abundance of grand houses, and a few weeks ago I went to one called Tyntesfield, near Bristol. Tyntesfield was built in the 1830s by a William Gibbs who made his f…

Red is a lucky colour in many Asian cultures and since I have lived in Asia for a long time, my album is filled with a lot of red photos. This was taken in December 2019, my last …

What a big difference a month of hot weather has made to my garden. It has grown so much since my last update. I went away to Bilbao in Spain 3 weeks ago, and as soon as I retur…

This is my 5th Chit Chat Friday post, and today I want to talk about food. I mean who doesn't love food? Specifically I want to talk about pinchos , something that I had every day …

It's been many months hubby and his drinking buddies ie my brother in law's has had a whiskey session. To make up for lost time, they ended up bringing a hoard to our last dinner g…

It's true, when you're enjoy yourself it's very easy to lose track of time. I totally forgot ~~today~~ yesterday was Friday and missed my Chit Chat Friday post. Not to worry, I ha…

It's been a rather quiet weekend with not much happening other than lazing around at home. We have a heatwave in UK this weekend and that's a big deal for us. Us Brits are very o…

Some of you may (or may not know) that I started a project called Apis Hive a four months ago. It's a program to support small accounts to grow on Hive through gamification. You c…
