What in the name of Hey Nonny No is this medieval looking nonsense about?

Horrible brown “trainers” with toggle fasteners

Good morning from this beautiful big bastard.

A stunning big red begonia in flower. It is planted in a red hanging basket. It’s hanging off a brown wooden fence. There is a cherry tree in the background.

The Stork cookies got fucked in the bin. They tasted of sadness and disappointment. Made some more with butter

White chocolate and pistachio cookies on baking trays.

This is perfection temperature wise. I couldn’t cope with 30 degrees.

A weather forecast showing 6 days of lovely weather. The temperature ranges from 17 to 21 degrees.

Still not finished but happy with today’s efforts. Hopefully it won’t die.

A hedge that has been severely cut.

Elle Bowroom@ellebowroom· May 16

What the fuck have I started? I’ve been at this an hour and only got about an 8th of it done.

Sit Rep: having a wee lie down in the garden with my book and my best girl

My legs stretched out under a striped blanket that I made myself. I am lying on a garden sofa. My kindle is on my lap and a blonde Cavapoo dog is resting her chin on my legs

Look how beautiful the Bugle Weed is looking in my rockery planters.

A rockery feature planted in an oblong wooden planter. There are various plants and rubble in it. The purple Bugle Weed is abundant and stands up about 6 inches in height.

A similar planter with slightly less Bugle Weed, but more small pink flowers

April’s reading

The cover of Trad Wife by Saratoga Schaefer. A modern day Rosemary’s Baby. Enjoyed it.

The Cover of Lost Lambs by Madeleine Cash. I loved the book, full of personality and likeable characters

The cover of I Who Have Never Known Men by Jacqueline Harpman. I don’t have the words for how I feel about this book. I will never forget it.

Fuck your alliums. I’m comfy.

2 sanders lying on top of a partially sanded deck. Why do I do this to myself?

This absolute hooligan has worked out how to open the Greenhouse door, just enough to slink in and make herself comfy

March reading. Been a busy month so not had time to read.

The Last Stage of Grief is Murder by Tam Barnett. I liked this, easy to read and a nice clean ending.

Ripeness by Sarah Moss. I found this to be incredibly boring and abandoned it half way through

The Berry Pickers by Amanda Peters. This was ok, not exactly what I was expecting. It kind of fizzled out at the end and left me feeling meh.

Should I sew blue or pink ric rac around this neckline? Or leave it plain? I can’t decide.

A multicoloured gingham bodice. It is a work in progress. Around the neckline is a strip of dark blue ric rac and a strip of cerise pink ric rac.

It’s that time of year again

A variety of seeds and potting trays sit on a wooden table in my garden.

It just didn’t sit right with me and I couldn’t even look at the butchers counter in the supermarket without seeing legs and body parts and realising that they were once sentient living creatures. I’ve not eaten meat for over a decade now and it’s all thanks to this lovely boy.

The best refugee ever. RIP Zac. I’ll always miss you. A tabby cat with beautiful green eyes stares up at the camera.

8 years since I made an honest man of this smashing bit of stuff sitting on my knee.

Elle Bowroom@ellebowroom· Feb 28

Februarys reading. Tiny reviews in the alt.

Loved it. The perfect follow up to Shades of Grey. No loose ends.

Ok, surprisingly quite boring at times and assumed that the reader had some knowledge of the people featured.

Absolutely smashing. Enjoyed it a lot

This is a stupendous biscuit. Half price at Sainsbury’s at the minute too

A box of cinnamon and brown sugar LU biscuits.

A peaceful beach this morning.
