Last but not least …. ‘Big Blue Sky’ Giveaway!
It seemed appropriate to leave this one ’til now because inevitably people will start thinking ahead to Christmas once September gets here. And really, Big Blue Sky is a pre-Christmas story as opposed to a Christmas story because, since people tend to order their turkeys early, if they’re buying direct from the farmer, it would be good…

Cute things children say
My children were brought up vegetarian from birth but when they were very young I didn’t make a fuss about gelatine in sweets that were given to them by other people.

The Folly of Expert Opinions
There was a time, long long ago When they thought the world was flat. They worried if they sailed the seas They’d fall off the end of that. In centuries past, in primitive times, They demonized herbal healers. They’d label such gifted folk a witch. Fear and ignorance led to murders. 1908, the Siberian tundra…

Remember I wanted to make a new hat With the yarn from old hats I’d unravelled?
