Sunday Star(e) Selfie

Hello, and welcome to our latest selfie Sunday! 

I had nipped into the guest room at Ned's place for a snooze, as part of my mandatory bed testing regime, and thought "You know what, let's take a selfie whilst I am here." Given the size of Ol' Ned's fingers, as well as shaking, it is a miracle they managed to press the shutter button. But with the aid of bale twine and a cunning balancing act using various garden implements, including fork, spade and two trowels, this was the net result.

Mrs H, who was busy in the kitchens experimenting with a new bread making machine from those nice people at Panasonic land, was suitably impressed and said I had an air of Queen Victoria about me. Maybe I can see that in the royal forehead. What do you think? Queen Vic or our dear Queen ER11?

However you week and selfies turn out, be it covered in soil or elbow deep in flour, we wish you a regal, happy, healthy and safe week . . .

Wet and windy, NOT how I like my cream!

Hello, and welcome to our selfie sunday! 

With mainly wet, wet, wet (not the boy band) performing this week with wind as the backing band, I have been spending my time, you guessed it, examining the weave of this cotton bed spread. 

Not much else to do these days of mid winter, so likely you'll get to see more of such similarly posed shots in the coming weeks.

Hopefully you all will be faring better weather wise, and activity wise?

Let us know what weather is like where you are, and if sunny and warm/hot, where the nearest airport is, MOL

Have a lovely week!

First Sunday Selfie of 2026

Hello, and welcome to our selfie. 

First off we wish you all a very happy and prosperous and good karma filled new year. 

With the festive season now thankfully behind us, and the husks of other peoples spent firework rockets all but gathered up from the Manor House gardens — save one lodged on the roof — Mrs H can rest up for a while. 

I say rest up, only between meal services and raking up the last vestiges of autumn leaves that appear from nowhere and stain the lawns with patches of limp, yucky brown. 

Whilst she does that, I have been making the most of some down time. No book reviews for a while as we are busy elsewhere, hoping that our book artiste comes through sooner rather than later with some new art for book 2 and book 3. More on that as and when.

Anyways, here is me on one of the day beds, soaking up yesterday afternoons (3pm) sunshine. There was a welcome blast of bright, clear but low light from across the fields. That's why I am squinting. In a week that has seen freezing temperatures here of -7c, with snow and heavy frosts, and continues to threaten so into next week, this and other beds and sofas is where you will find me. Mrs H has the kettle on now, in readiness for an audio book listen before breakfast, so I shall leave you hopefully with thoughts of warm weather and happier days.

Sunday Selfie 28 September 2025

Hello, and welcome to our 'NOT a book review' selfie. For those that don't like long posts I shall make this one as short as possible.

We are currently finishing off reading a brilliant spooky book, and hope to review it next time. It's call Wyrdwood, and is by Curtis Jobling. I wholly recommend this Teen spooky tale, which blends folk law with horror. We will get a review out to you all asap. It is published 2/10/25 (that's 2 October to our American readers), and will make a great halloween read for teens and upwards. 

Here is me after a week of rainy and windy weather, and a few late night early morning outings. No mice to be seen anywhere, honest (she says, licking her lips) 😉.
