…hoping to make February ‘remarquable’…
Last year, was…well, strange at times. Pretty much everywhere, as far as we can tell in ‘the Potionary’. And this year? Who knows? Jacqui and I, of course, hope for a remarkable year for everyone for all the right reasons… … Continue reading
A Crumlush Winter’s Tale…
As far as Matlock could remember (which probably wasn’t that ‘far’, as he mostly always seemed to have other ‘more majickal’ things on his hare’s mind) it had been the coldest winter ever in Winchett Dale. The joy of seeing … Continue reading

Explaining ‘democracy’ to a majickal-hare…
“You look,” Matlock griffled, as we waited for appearance of the ‘supermoon’ in his small cottage garden last week,”an oidy bit distracted.” “It’s been a strange time recently out in ‘the Great Beyond’,” I replied, shivering slightly in the cold … Continue reading
