“A growing number of astronomers have debunked the Big Bang Theory in the light of a series of hypothetical amendments; such as the unscientific dark matter, inflation and dark energy, thrown at the theory to keep it alive. The concerned astronomers believe the physics for the theory is fundamentally wrong. Yet, falsified research moves forward, … More UFO’s or just Ancient Mystery Religion in Paintings
That does it! I am hopping mad! I looked at the skies here in Southampton this morning, and I knew we had been chemtrailed. The morning blue just wasn’t there; instead some sort of non-descript grey light with no depth of sky above. The other tell-tale sign – the extra, ultra-metallic blinding fuzz, defusing the … More The Trail They Blaze
My husband and I, with our two boys met up with friends near the Boscombe Pier, Bournemouth a few weeks ago, to watch those magnificent men and women in their flying machines. 2017 Southampton summer was a little disappointing. A complete contrast to the long dry summer of 2016. So wet, my tomatoes rotted on … More Those Magnificent Men

A week ago, tragedy struck! In some ways, this reads a little melodramatic, as no one died, no one was injured, no one went to jail. Still, in a personal way, it was a moment of disbelief and sadness. Our cutest-ever, character hydro-cottage (Kahu Cottage) in Mangakino, New Zealand burnt to the ground. We were … More Razed to the Ground

This book, part of my Dragons Dwelt Here series, titled Saint George’s Dragon is proving a … More St George’s Day
A few weeks ago, I wrote about artist, Katie Smith and two of her watercolours depicting some character homes in Grafton, Auckland, New Zealand, that I have hanging on our lounge wall. I also mentioned my love for turning a house into a home. Well, in my home, I like to group, or cluster paintings … More And Then There were Six
