I have that written on one of my bookshelves. Bayard…now here’s a Mystery History. Is Bayard the magical horse told of in the legend of the Four Sons of Aymon? Or is he Pierre Terrail, seigneur de Bayard ? Even in my relatively unknown county in the East of England, we have legends and connections to… Read More Le Chevalier Sans Peur et Sans Reproche
…Now have total control of the neo-paradigm via youtube. Jeez. Step out of the mudflood, tartaria, antiquitech, DEW, ancient civilisations, FE, realm box and you WILL get totally totalled. I know. Been there for over 3 years now. WTF? Not a single one of them has given definite proof or evidence. But their followers still… Read More The Big Four…
Most know about the Red Shoes from so-called Conspiracy Theories about – m’eh. Older ones of us know them from Hans Christian Anderson’s FairyTales. I also know about them from Kate Bush – the “Tavistock Witch!!!” How about this bit of cut & past wiki fashion history? Not many shoes are seen clearly in Byzantine Art because… Read More The Significance of The Red Shoes
I’ve just watched Aewar’s latest video. Much food for thought. I have three abbeys/monasteries within a 10 mile radius of my house. And probably a few more but… …Barlings Abbey, Bardney Abbey and Tupholme Abbey. All victims of “The Dissolution of the Monasteries” enacted under the reign of Henry VIII. BTW : All three of… Read More Dissolution of the Monasteries : 16th century
I have not got the time to go through a zillion search engine pages to find proof. All I know about this comes from my soul mother, Leslie Kenton, who’d talked to medics who’d done this way back then. And she cited their written experiences and medical documents. When a person has been starved to… Read More Topical Application
Strange but TRUE. When I arrived in Berlin – my F1RST Military posting – this was the song of the moment. BFBS – British Forces Broadcasting Services played it on the radio….lots. NENA.
…Like I do. I know that my life has gone slightly awry. Fawlty Towers? Nah. Sane Sanity compared to MY here & now :o) P.S. This classic is my go-to when my own life gets a little whacky & surreal.
Peaky Blinders. OMG. The Mitford Sisters have been in my blog for a while. SEE HERE : Neo-Punk to Nazi Neo-Punk to Nazi Twisted Firestarter, moi? I clicked on this last weekend. He said …. What? I said : One of them married Oswald Mosley. He said : Who? I said : The British Nazi.… Read More A Defo Watch – Diana & Oswald Mosely?
…when I get longer than a few minutes to sit and binge. Sigh. I’ve heard of but never seen. I’m kinda interested now. Gangs of New York in the Black Country? ? I can do that. If y’all give me a few months :o)
Apparently, most of the workers worked out that Betty’s PlatJub would be a great way to get a few more days off work. So – the Highways and Byways crew booked off one day before and one day after the Jubilee “Celebrations” Himself missed that crack! He’ll be on Emergency Response the whole time. Now… Read More Platinum Jubilee : He Missed That One!
I’ve known, since childhood, about our close links with Admiral Sir Samuel Greig and the Russian Navy. I did NOT make it up. The links between Scotland and Russia are sometimes very HIDDEN! Why, therefore, do I, Me, Myself have Russian DNA? The journey from Russia(1%) to Scandinavia(29%) and Scotland(36%) is not so hard to… Read More CopyCat or Real Deal
Hamlet. KenBran and Richard Briers. OR I’m a writer. Words are my WORK. I’m also a new sub to Scott. BUT…..as ever, I’ve brought along MY mess to HIS channel. I’m so sorry. Hopefully we can do more words today without being FLAT-SMACKED….which is a phrase that I posted live on the GlobeLieTour way back… Read More Words, Words, Words
In the UK, we (well some of us ) KNOW where the Black Country is. Nothing to do with P.C. crap. Or dissing or being nasty. Check it out. Himself had to drive to Wolverhampton yesterday to meet some other gangers and pick something up. It took over 3 hours to get there and when… Read More The Black Country
These two defy description. Geordie Astronauts ? :o)
Now everyone is doing it and getting all the credit! The One World Tartarians The One World Tartarians This is even worse than I knew. I have no gripe against anyone who writes a History book. Even amateurs. And no – I have not read this one but, according to the reviews posted, I don’t need to. To… Read More Let’s Talk : I, Me, Myself Did That November 2021
I saw. I loved. I began to make. The Verity Hope Dress above has been in my “basket” for months. So last Friday I bought the pattern and started the whole process….having already made the bloomers she wears in the image above. Easy Peasy, said my brain. We are Tuesday now and I’m still struggling… Read More The Stupidity of EasyPeasyLemonSqueezy
Today Diana would be labelled as bi-sexual, nymphomaniac, narcissist, attention whore, slut, voyeur, paedophile, procuress, madame and may other labels. She was a very pretty young girl with an overwhelming need for attention. In ANY way she could find it. Not much has changed over the decades. If Y’all ain’t SEEN, y’all ain’t real ergo… Read More Diana Dors & Prince Charming
Wow! Strange how the UAP, Jon Levi, Autodidactic, FEB et al crowd just shows up in his live chat. AFTER I’ve started the chat. I’m so sorry, Scott. I KNOW that you can’t and won’t believe my story about these chuffers. Whatever. Shit on me, peeps. NOT on the people I LIKE. Thank you.
I know Aldous mainly through his book about François Leclerc du Tremblay aka Père Joseph. He was Cardinal Richelieu’s closest friend and advisor. A Capuchin monk who counselled the Cardinal through many a Dark Night of the Soul. A Brave New World…I’ve read but remember nothing about it. Maybe because I learned about the DRUG… Read More Aldous Huxley
A Two Ronnies Sketch from 1980. See below! We watched a yt video yesterday about Diana Dors. See below, below! She is kind of a Brit Icon. On the surface. I only really know her work from The Worm that Turned but IRL….omg. She was a person I’d NEVER want to’ve met. I’m a girl.… Read More The Worm That Turned
Still doing the vibe. I was working in the lab, late one nightWhen my eyes beheld an eerie sightFor my monster from his slab, began to riseAnd suddenly to my surprise He did the monster mash(The monster mash) It was a graveyard smash(He did the mash) It caught on in a flash(He did the mash)… Read More Monster Mash : 1962 vs 2022
My novel begins in 1622, in Paris. The time of Louis XIII and Richelieu and Anne of Austria and Marie de Rohan. Memoires and other extant sources called the streets of Paris La Crotte – the shit. I even have an entire scene where Wat Montagu whinges all the way through about choosing to wear… Read More La Crotte & the 1762 Westminster Paving Act
Some pass/piss away comment about 300 be3headings in the UK. And then someone else steps in and validates the Mind Warp. THE PUBLICLY ANNOUNCED AND SMUGLY DEFENDED MindWarp Lee Rigby was a psyop just to eff us all up? Go and ask his Mum to tell you what happened that day and how SHE sees… Read More Those Smug S.O.B’s
There are around 11 days until the next Merrily Watkins book is released for sale. I’m hoping that the audio comes out the same day. Fingers crossed. It’s kind of strange that all of last year the reviews for this book mentioned “the fever of the world” aka panicdemic. Today – 22 May 2022 –… Read More For The Hell of IT or Fever of the World
There is NOTHING more heart-swelling than when your baby first learns to walk. I gave up a career to be a stay-at-home mum. Third time lucky, my first son was born. I’d never left him to go away for 8 hours to earn a wage. I never left second baby to go away for 8… Read More Learning To Walk
THIS SONG. Brings back memories :o) Traveller-in-crime and I were given a stop-over in Abu Dhabi. No work. No meetings. No BS. The drive from Dubai to Abu Dhabi is around 2 hours. We had my fave employee as our driver. He comes from Gilgit. A wonderful man. Who played a cd of 80’s music… Read More Jolly Girls Outing
This is the last film that I remember having the time to sit down and watch (alone) from start to finish. It was way after the release and mates kept telling me that I’d love it. OK. M’eh. Another Jack the Ripper, Sherlock Holmes rip-off. OMG. I LOVED it. Bill Nighy is an actor that… Read More LimeHouse Golem
I’ll not re-hash the almost 4 years of BS that’s “plagued” me since 2018/2019. Social Media is a platform for plagiarism and piss-poor-performance by puppets. In MY opinion. 1984. God. I love this story. My thanks go to George Orwell and Miss Woodhouse and my English Literature exams. I stood (and still stand) alone. And… Read More A Bit Too Close To MY Real Life
This is something we rarely see now in this part of the UK. Morris Dancers are somewhat a joke nowadays. Or a threat. They used to BLACK their faces which is very NOT P.C. Everything I’ve “researched” (LOL) on the internet churns out the same old, same old, verbatim sentences. They blacked their faces because… Read More Something Strange About…Morris Dancing
Those glorious, wonderful people at Tesco (?!) sent me some money off vouchers today so I went mad in the aisles and bought porcini mushrooms and a huge bag of arborio rice. There is something so relaxing about cooking a risotto. I can take a good half hour or more just stood, standing, stirring. Watching… Read More And….R E L A X : Porcini Risotto
I only know the b&w film and my own experiences of being told that my work/life/family/thoughts were never mine. I’d stolen them from someone else. And so appears my DEAD father’s name as a yt channel. F A C T There’s been a murder. And no one cares :o( Noice
Rebecca begins, “Last night I dreamt I went to Manderley again.” Every novelist since has ground their teeth in envy: here is all the enchantment of a child’s story, with an irresistible melancholy hung about it. The narrator is on a winding path alone, and her way is barred. The dreamer is the second Mrs de… Read More “Last Night I Dreamt I Went to Manderley Again.”
I’m always stunned when I watch a band live or a live band on yt who play the first few chords and the crowd automatically sings the lyrics. Imagine that. How truly heart-swelling and unbelievable that must feel when THOUSANDS sing YOUR words back to you. I’ve been a fan of Tears for Fears forever.… Read More Shout : Imagine
I have spoken out about this so many times. I’ve tried my hardest to help. Evil exists but… …IT is dressed in silk, smells of Chanel No5 and smiles, showing a set of perfectly perfect white teeth. IT says all the right words and loves all the right people and makes all the right moves.… Read More The Existence of Evil
I wear pajamas :o)

I’m a country lass. Never lived in a city for more than a few days. I have such vivid memories of us kids running the flame. As the local farmers burned the stubble. An age-old practice. Ash is good for the soil but I have a multi-fuel log burner. Wood, coal, cardboard, paper, plastic, fabric…anything… Read More Burning the Stubble
I’ve been feeling down and depleted for days. Too much interference on my frequency. My all time go-to is a homemade veggie soup. Y’all know the goss on the block, yes. Leo da Vinci was a vegetarian and he ate this every day. Allegedly. Today I have – olive oil, bouillon powder, onions, garlic, carrots,… Read More Da Vinci Minestrone Soup
We will meet in the middle :o)
I had the usual snarks thrown at me in comments recently. About Scotland. Whatever. The couple below – OMG, I’ve such a soft spot for these two. To me, they have that wonderful dotty, sweet and eccentrically, gloriously, innocent vibe. THEY are en route north. Not me. Sadly :o(
Of all the scenes in Bram Stoker’s book (and there are many that freak me out….Renfield?) The THREE Weird Sisters (get it?got it?good!) that Harker meets on his exploration of the castle is uber creepy. Why 3? 1 would do. IMHO. But then Stoker is well-known for picking bits from here and there. Like we… Read More Always the 3
Not in my lifetime hopefully. They 2 can crack on. In thunder, lightning or in rain? We have a storm coming in tonight. YAY. I adore thunderstorms. Met Office followed by Ken and the Weird Sisters. By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes :o)
Not everyone will “get” this. It’s been such a long-standing joke in our family that I just had to go there :o) MY bloomers are now made. All hand-sewn and even embroidered. They are mid-calf length and can be worn under a dress or skirt or apron dress or all alone. Take your pick. Like… Read More Revealing My Bloomers
M’eh. Instructing Q and Bill Tanner to leave an electronic trail for Silva to follow, Bond uses his Aston Martin DB5 to take M to Skyfall, his childhood home in the Scottish Highlands. They meet Skyfall’s gamekeeper Kincade, and together the trio set up a series of booby traps throughout the house. When Silva’s men arrive, Bond, M, and Kincade kill most of them,… Read More SkyFall
