Random, as it suggests!
. I am a late starter when it comes to coconut oil. People seem to have been talking about for years. Me, I never really believed the hype. Until I ran out of butter and remembered something about being able to use coconut oil, which bizarrely I did have. I think I had read something about it and then bought some but never got around to using it.
. I have been in a reflective mood recently. Thinking about things in the past. Distant and recent. Wondering if I could have done things differently.

Pondering on whether I
. My love of all things smelly is legendary. This is a really quick post to tell you about some lovely products that I was sent recently. All the products are inspired by the plants grown in the walled Garden of Gordon Castle in Scotland. The eight acre Victorian Walled Garden forms the centrepiece of the grounds; the lovingly restored gardens playing host to an ancient collection of 269 fruit
. I don’t do travelling light. I never have. And quite frankly I never will. I am going away for, let’s say four days so NEED four outfits. At least. Possibly even six if we are doing a posh dinner. Or if I am out all day and want to change in the evening. I also want a change of shoes. And toiletries. And make up.
. Well technically this isn’t recycling as I bought the tea caddies especially but I thought I would share as it is so simple and, I think, looks fab.

Well I would suggest the Karcher K4 would be a very good place to start. Is the Karcher K4 any good? Well hey say a picture paints a thousand words so I am going to let you see for
. It’s weird. This is one of those posts that I am starting and not knowing what I am really going to say. Well that bit isn’t weird, alot of my posts start like that. The majority of them though, I know where I am going with it. With this I don’t. But I started this blog as a place to get things out of my
. . Halfway down the stairs is a stair where i sit. there isn’t any other stair quite like it. i’m not at the bottom, i’m not at the top; so this is the stair where I always stop. For the last half a dozen years my favourite place has been right on the bottom edge of Barbados. Where the Atlantic meets the Caribbean. Just in front
. What was I thinking when I decided to get 21 birthday presents for Caity’s birthday?! Alongside deciding I would get 50 for Mr B who turned 50 five days later? I must have been mad. But actually thanks to the internet I managed to get all of them without even leaving my desk. These are some of my favourites that I got Caity The Easy Lock Now

How does your Garden Grow (#HDYGG) is from Buckingham Palace this week! I know. Get me. We could have been in any park on Wednesday afternoon. The sun was shining.

There were even some dogs having a run. Closely
