Lizard Hunting, Vandalism and other adventures
The youngest of our Reluctant crew is a true country boy. Even though we live in the sterilized suburbs, he manages to find the mud, bugs, puddles and, did I mention lizards, in every corner of our little world. No refuge is safe, no drainpipe remains un-searched when the boy is on a lizard hunt. … Read more
On Multitasking and other misnomers…
I blinked, and stepped away from my computer for 20 seconds, and a year went by! What happened? Oh, I know, multitasking…. and seriously inept at it I appear to be!

Introducing: The Reluctant Suburbanite
The madness of it suburbia has finally gotten to me, your hostess, The Reluctant Suburbanite.
Bear with me!

Thanks to Em for the above, I am officially imprisoned, though I may be back in a more regular fashion come July.. think rain and the north of Scotland!! But, for now, I will check in with the occasional postcard. If I can find the stamps! Happy Summer All!
It’s been a while….
