Good Morning Guessers. Some of you may have been expecting Bridgenut today, but he is going to be unavailable for much of the month and has therefore abdicated his crown. Crofter too is going to be...
It is Friday once again and as you see, the Shrubbery is under new management for the month of March. As Rabbie once said "The best-laid plans o' mice an' men. Gang aft a-gley". Firstly, crofter is...
The theme adopted by Queen Dustybun in this her fourth and final week in her short reign came as a surprise to me , but nevertheless a welcome surprise. Based on the theme It's a Wonderful Life, her...
It's the final "Good Morning" to all AB-Linkers from Queen Dusty. However, life is full of beginnings and on this first Saturday in Lent (and I have not yet recovered from eating too many pancakes) my...

Second time around and I'm not even going to mention my disappointment when no parcels of snow arrived in my mail box ? no heat for you, you stingy lot !! So this time, I'm taking the sensible route...
Welcome to this very first week of our new setter, Queen Dustybun. Her name reminds me of the famous quote from Marie Antoinette to the peasants of Paris: "Let them eat cake". Perhaps she should have...
Good morning everyone - I trust you're all well and that not too many are snowed in after last night's [in places] spectacular efforts, complete so I gather, with sound effects !! Nothing spectacular...
