Human Pooh sticks in Hawick (Rousse)
The main street of the handsome town of Hawick was lined with proud Georgian buildings. The river also looked beautiful, especially on a summer’s day like this. In the bright sunshine, the river bed looked like a glowing yellow cobbled … Continue reading
Robert Frost and dye (Rousse)
While I spent the summer months researching the life and work of Robert Frost, TPR was experimenting with green and purple hair dyes.
Teenage criminals target Sainsbury shopping trolleys in Gateshead (Rousse)
Poor Darren had his work cut out on the Customer Services counter at the Gateshead Sainsbury’s megastore. His queue grew longer and longer as I explained the whole sorry tale of my purchases. I had selected a mix of groceries … Continue reading

Four grey squirrels, each accompanied by a tiny rust-coloured baby kit, leapt from the treetops into my coat as I passed through the market. I managed to shake the squirming animals out of my clothing by the time I reached … Continue reading
A cave holiday with a two-husband trip to Edinburgh Zoo (Rousse)
TPR booked an unheated cave for our summer holiday in the far north of Scotland. Although compact, its floor-space was still greater than our first house in Birmingham. Red curtains at the ‘door way’ mouth provided adequate privacy. When my … Continue reading
Viking ship spotted off the Isle of Lewis (Rousse)
On a far northern shore of the Isle of Lewis the locals built a snowman – the size of a house. They saved it from melting over the summer months by topping it up with ice from their domestic freezers. … Continue reading
Scottish island cycling skeleton surprise (Rousse)
Cycling in the Scottish islands in May is always a pleasure with the lengthening summer days and low likelihood of rain. However, it is not so enjoyable when your wheels take you over a massive seaweed-covered midden where the skeletons … Continue reading
