Vegetable Gardening on a Budget

Gardening can be expensive but it doesn't have to be. It's nice to have beautiful pots, the latest seeds, bags of lovely compost and all the latest tools and gadgets but it's not necessary. My garden fork and hoe belonged to my Grandfather who sadly died back in the early 1970's. I reckon these tools … Continue reading Vegetable Gardening on a Budget →

It’s the Little Things that Matter

Quite often when I write a new blog or page, I ask hubby just to give it a quick read through for me.

Is Tarot Evil ?

I've often read about other Tarot readers being told that Tarot is evil. I've even heard of someone losing "friends" when it was discovered that they had used Tarot Cards.

Time is precious – waste it wisely

I don't know about anyone else but I never seem to have enough hours in the day. Don't get me wrong, although I work, I'm certainly not a workaholic.

The fascination with Graveyards

You might think of graveyards as morbid, depressing, very sad and creepy places and perhaps the modern graveyards and cemeteries are but I love visiting old graveyards.

Mismatched … Continue reading The fascination with Graveyards →

Out of the Broom Closet

I have been a witch all my life, I just didn't realise it when I was younger. I was brought up to believe that my religion was "Church of England". Having said that, we never went to church except for weddings, christenings and funerals. We never really talked about religion at all. In early childhood, … Continue reading Out of the Broom Closet →
