In Praise of Puddles

Posted on September 23, 2020September 23, 2020 by ShiverWriggle

There are certain points on our walks through the woods when Scapa takes off all of a sudden. Though, infrequently, this is the result of having caught the scent of a deer or a rabbit (or something else), more often than not she is heading to one of her wallowing-hole spots where she will rest…

Mushrooms and Ignorance

Posted on September 8, 2020 by ShiverWriggle

I have convinced myself that, this year, not only do there seem to be more mushrooms, but there is more evidence of their decay. There seems to be so many more, left in situ, rotting away where they grew this year.

An Introduction to #TheMistySolitudes

Posted on August 24, 2020August 24, 2020 by ShiverWriggle

I need to start somewhere and, as this strange year is forcing many things to do, everything slipped into place in my mind about three months ago, mid-lockdown. We are fortunate in having The Woods straight out of our backdoor, more or less. A hop, skip, jump: and there they are.

Plant Potatoes and Dream

We’re back! What better time to rejoin the world than just as everything has gone a little bit off-track.

Farewell, Facebook

By: Lydia Crow   I’m not sure when certain developments started to change how I felt about social media, but it was certainly several years ago now. Whereas once it was something which brought more joy than not, now it seems its primary function is to offer us platforms upon which to stand and watch…

Previously, On #EdFringe

By: Lydia Crow   Wrestling with Vikings and picnics on trains; Whisky with strangers and ukulele refrains; Magic shows, Spiegeltents, comedy mime; Dirty Dick’s, disco naps, losing track of the time; Jazz, late-night burgers and a Space Hopper war; Festival Frolics and a jam-packed dancefloor; The Beautiful People with the dirtiest looks; Charlotte Square Gardens…

A Not So Vague Interview

Posted on September 17, 2013July 13, 2020 by ShiverWriggle

By: Lydia Crow   “At the right moment in time, at the point where I had finally secured a moderately average salary, in a city I loved which was filled with friends, and a freedom I had not felt for many a year, I decided to throw everything into chaos.” – Alexander Michael Crow  …

Wild Rose

Posted on June 5, 2013July 13, 2020 by ShiverWriggle

By: everylittlething   Growing against the friendly grey stone wall of our garden is a perfect Mothers’ Day gift of 2013. Dog roses. They are new but already showing great promise. The rose, in all its forms, has always pleased me – except, perhaps, for the poor blue rose which no one has been able to…

In Search of the Good Life: Chapter 3, Part 3

Posted on April 3, 2013July 13, 2020 by ShiverWriggle

By: Patrick   It may be that the supposed virtue of being open-minded enough to change one’s mind is a relatively modern phenomenon. I often feel slightly repelled by small-minded people who have lived in small villages all their lives and have rather blunt opinions about outsiders, whether in relation to gender, class, sexuality, or race….

Eggs

Posted on April 1, 2013July 13, 2020 by ShiverWriggle

By: everylittlething   As soon as the unsold Christmas items are off the supermarket shelves, the chocolate eggs appear for Easter. Theologically, I can see a link – but I suspect that God has very little to do with this commercial venture. I’m not pretending that I don’t get excited when I give and receive…
