Here Be Dragons: Of Can Openers
http://ddraigsynyma.blogspot.com/2009/06/of-can-openers.html
Monday, 1 June 2009. Making dinner this evening, V gets momentarily distracted and returns to find he has mislaid the can opener. V: Where is it? Flaps about a bit*. What have I done with it? Flaps a bit more*. Have you seen it? V: Where the heck have I put it? Rummages through the cutlery drawer* Ah-ha! V: I put it back in the drawer. Me: Heck, no wonder you didn't know where it was. V: It's only funny when I say things like that. Labels: just larking about. Gotta love their sense of humour!

Here Be Dragons: October 2008
http://ddraigsynyma.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Thursday, 30 October 2008. Nan from Shells and Roses. A beautiful blog filled with cats and other lovely things so do pop over and say hello) tagged me for this and though I have done it before it doesn't mean that I can't do it again. So. I still find it hard to not believe in Father Christmas. There is something in me that really wants the North Pole and the reindeer and all the rest to sneakily be true. I never understood why she turned him down - I mean I understand now. And that is it. I won't t...

Here Be Dragons: November 2008
http://ddraigsynyma.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Saturday, 29 November 2008. Yes folks, this spinning wheel is made out of glass. Is it not astonishingly lovely? There you are - something beautiful for a Saturday morning. Hope your day is serene and sparkling too. Thanks to Spinning Fishwife. For finding and posting this beauty. Friday, 28 November 2008. There are hackles on dogs and hackles on hats but this little hackle is clamped to a table and used to comb and blend fibre. Yes, it has been a very productive day today as V has also made me a new peg...

Here Be Dragons: January 2009
http://ddraigsynyma.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, 29 January 2009. I have on my bookshelf a small book of prayers given to me by my mother. I am not one for written prayers normally but these are sweet, short and headed toward the celtic in flavour. One of my favourites is that of a Breton fisherman which is very much to the point I feel. Oh Lord, protect me. The sea is so large and my boat is so small. Prompted by One Single Impression. If Only I had Time. Monday, 26 January 2009. Ffald-y-Brenin, a retreat in the Preseli mountains. When the r...

Here Be Dragons: Cilgerran Castle
http://ddraigsynyma.blogspot.com/2009/06/cilgerran-castle.html
Monday, 15 June 2009. Not far from the coast of Cardigan Bay there lies Cilgerran Castle. The castle is haunted apparently by a rather intimidating gentleman in black who watches from one of the towers. He did not stick around when the Freemen went for a ghost hunt late last night.mind you, if I was a spectre I would make myself scarce when faced with that lot with a few beers inside them! I hope you have a fun day too. Romantic and gruesome. You cant beat a combination like that. 16 June 2009 at 01:58.

Here Be Dragons: May 2009
http://ddraigsynyma.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Friday, 29 May 2009. And rum, obviously - I used white rum because then it will go pink with the berries. Castor sugar - I used about 4oz. And a large jar to steep it all in. Prick the strawberries all over with a cocktail stick, shake the sugar up in the jar with the rum. Add the berries and that's it. Shake the jar every day for a month then strain the berries out. I plan on adding these to an apple jam - I'll let you know how that goes - and leave the liquor to mature for another three months. If you ...

Here Be Dragons: September 2008
http://ddraigsynyma.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 30 September 2008. With the Freemen of Gwent. You might remember that we met them last week. And liked the sound of it all. They were kind enough to invite us to their last event of the season and kitted us out so we could join in. Sir V the Interior Designer. I don't know why they called him that, they just did. Does my head look big in this hat? You can see it in his face can't you? I cannot pin point why I enjoyed the weekend so much because it is hard to narrow it down to one thing. It w...

Here Be Dragons: February 2009
http://ddraigsynyma.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Friday, 27 February 2009. In honour of St David, the patron saint of Wales and his day which falls the first of March and is the chance for everyone to eat cawl and Welshcakes and of course the kids get to dress up in national dress. Sorry, the old Chartist blood in me just rising to the surface there. Moving on. One of the very best things about daughters is how adorable they look in national dress. And of course I was full of pride when all my girls won prizes for their art work. And now I have a cold ...

Here Be Dragons: Caldicot
http://ddraigsynyma.blogspot.com/2009/06/caldicot.html
Wednesday, 17 June 2009. From the outside, forlorn and derelict. Warm and filled with the scent of roses. I spent the day spinning and chatting to children. Oh, how gorgeous is that garden? What a lovely way to spend your day. :). 17 June 2009 at 23:43. Great photos. I went to a concert at Caldicot Castle last year and all it did was rain. Its nice to see it in the sun. Love and hugs Gina xxx. 18 June 2009 at 06:34. 20 June 2009 at 17:27. 21 June 2009 at 21:02. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
