A View (Some Miles Away) From The Greenhouse; The Art Of Diplomacy….Innit?

4th March 2025 Colin Cross 2553 Comments

I’m sure that by now we’ve all seen at least the ten minute clip of the White House “spat” and I know I’m far from alone, at least in the august company of Going Postal [more…]

A View From The Greenhouse; Reflections

18th February 2025 Colin Cross 2634 Comments

As expected (once DJT got his feet back under the table), it became more than a possibility that the war in Ukraine could be brought to a conclusion of sorts. It may not bring the [more…]

A View (Literally) Through The Greenhouse: Storms (What Are They Good For?)

4th February 2025 Colin Cross 2140 Comments

There has been much huffing, puffing and pearl clutching, from the usual suspects, where the subject of “interference” in politics is concerned. Whether it be financial (the hypocrisy runs deep in this particular river) or, [more…]

A (Re)View From The Greenhouse; That Was The Year That Were

7th January 2025 Colin Cross 2936 Comments

Winter arrives in the northern hinterlands, with something of a vengeance, but enough of my snow shovelling tales. The greenhouse has (so far) managed to withstand the foot or so of accumulated snow loading. Grounds [more…]

A View (Actually) From The Greenhouse….Everything Is Not As It Seems…

25th December 2024 Colin Cross 1729 Comments

A View From The Greenhouse…..Fixing The Foundations, To Build Back Better

10th December 2024 Colin Cross 1837 Comments

On Sunday night just passed we were treated to the sight of upwards of 150 tractors, of varying shapes and sizes, convoying around the villages in this part of Cumbria be-decked in Christmas lights.  As [more…]

A View From (Quite Close To) The Greenhouse; It’s All A Conspiracy…..Innit?

26th November 2024 Colin Cross 2351 Comments

Winter arrives in the Northern backwaters, with a short lived but fierce reminder that the weather, when it chooses, can be the boss of us all. Cue, then, the assorted fanatics, grifters, bought and paid [more…]

Another View From (The Shed By) The Greenhouse……How Corrupted?

12th November 2024 Colin Cross 1894 Comments

It goes without saying (but I’m going to repeat it anyway, for those tin-eared few at the back) that Labour won the election simply because the Tories had managed to make themselves un-electable and Reform, [more…]

Authoritarianism

A View From (The Shed By) The Greenhouse; Scales Of Justice….Innit?

22nd October 2024 Colin Cross 2208 Comments

It’s often quite surprising when you find something that you didn’t know was lost, as happened recently with this set of scales. I didn’t “rediscover” them myself, the buildings and maintenance department did, but we’re [more…]
