Slow Lane Life II. How we moved to the West Country and learned to slow down even more. October 23, 2016. I’m leaving Slow Lane Life II. Over the past year and more, in the emotional state that new grandmotherhood induces, I have become less guarded when blogging and particularly when posting photographs, so that family and baby grandson could be seen and easily identified, even if they remained unnamed. And so I have started another blog, helpfully entitled Slow Lane Life III. In time, perhaps within a ...

Tantalising | Slow Lane Life II
https://redpenrita.wordpress.com/2015/07/19/tantalising
Slow Lane Life II. How we moved to the West Country and learned to slow down even more. July 19, 2015. I'm a retired, downsized, 60-something who moved from the chilly North East to the wet South West with a heap of dogs and cats. I live in an ancient cottage with them and The Gardener, and am happier here than I have ever been. I blog for fun, and rejoice in the wonderful connections blogging makes with other interesting people. 8 thoughts on “ Tantalising. July 19, 2015 at 12:47 pm. Frayed at the edge.

Slow Lane Life II. How we moved to the West Country and learned to slow down even more. Monthly Archives: November 2014. November 28, 2014. It was rather nice to be back in a city, with imposing buildings and streets that ran straight up and down, so different from the meandering lanes of home. You may recall that theirs is the very same apartment from which some of the opening moments of WWZ were filmed – you can see it right behind Brad Pitt’s head when he steps out of the car:. For Sassenachs, an expl...

Slow Lane Life II. How we moved to the West Country and learned to slow down even more. Monthly Archives: January 2015. January 28, 2015. Something from our local paper that made me laugh; the council’s notice of a temporary road closure. I love that you must “proceed in south westerly and south easterly directions”. January 27, 2015. The cold that keeps on giving…. The doorbell rang just now; someone from the W.I. (it’s their skittles day at the local pub) called to say hello. She took...January 14, 2015.

Slow Lane Life II. How we moved to the West Country and learned to slow down even more. Monthly Archives: May 2015. May 21, 2015. What to do when your supermarket’s sad, reduced-in-price collection of mixed blooms are all you could find last week, and you wanted something to put in the lovely heavy vase you picked up for 4 in the charity shop? The garden is wearing pinks and purples for May…. May 20, 2015. The thing about becoming a prospective grandma is that you get to say “In. Day….” q...It was though...

Slow Lane Life II. How we moved to the West Country and learned to slow down even more. Monthly Archives: March 2015. March 28, 2015. It’s that time again. You know which time. The time when the increase in daylight shows your house up in its winter shabbiness, highlighting the high-up cobwebs, the chipped paintwork, the dingy corners. The time that shouts. But those are familiar themes here, regardless of light and season, and often ignored. But it really is that time, and action must be taken. And whil...

On the hottest day of the year | Slow Lane Life II

Slow Lane Life II. How we moved to the West Country and learned to slow down even more. On the hottest day of the year. July 3, 2015. A crumpled, creased, ring-finger-swollen, feet-aching, damp-eyed, and overwhelmingly happy day amongst friends and family. And the maddest wedding cake. May you have a long and happy marriage, my dearest son and new daughter. 26 thoughts on “ On the hottest day of the year. July 3, 2015 at 1:10 pm. Every best wish and happiness to you all.

It’s not quite here yet, for us in the UK anyway, and there’s a good chance I’ll be in bed when it arrives, but I want to wish you all a very Happy New Year. May 2015 bring you all that you wish for and more, with health and happiness foremost. December 27, 2014. We stopped for lunch at Evora; pretty little place with painted street signs. We tore ourselves away R...
