Which if my understanding of French pronunciation is correct, sounds a little teeny bit like "say your lines", albeit with a strange accent, and is therefore an excellent pun and I am hilarious. Except that I had to explain it so it isn't. This is a blog post with no personal stuff! Woot woot. OK … Continue reading Seyès lines

One in the coven
Followers of this blog (hello my lovelies) will have been informed by now of the indisputable fact that Nick Stewart is too talented and this is definitely because he is a witch who should be burned at the stake.

Dear Gardeners' Question Time, I'm holed up at Gladstone's Library, which is a residential library in the tiny little village of Hawarden, North Wales. I'm here to work on my novel and relax a bit and OMG THIS PLACE IS BRILLIANT. I HAVEN'T SPOKEN TO ANYONE USING MY FACE FOR TWO DAYS, EXCEPT TO ORDER … Continue reading Looking at our mailbag I see that it’s overflowing with this blog post from a Mrs Trellis of North Wales.
