Well after weeks of Husband moaning at me to “do something with those orangey-things on the tree” I finally got round to it somewhere amidst the post-pesach flotsam and jetsam. We have been wondering for some time what this gorgeous tree is in our garden. We have a “chinese lemon” tree that makes tiny lemons …
There is an old saying that you can find an equivalent to all the wonders of the world in the holy land, and therefore there is no need to ever leave it. After all, with the range of climates, rich history, variety of peoples who have migrated through the land and access to the sea what …
I was planning on blogging last Thursday night after my TWO HOUR trip round supersol in the Big, but instead I came home and collapsed in an exhausted heap on the sofa. TWO HOURS and over 1,000 shekel later and I still hadn’t found what I wanted!! I still came out minus ground almonds, spices and various other things. I …
Following a rather lovely wedding we attended in the centre of the country [note to self: always enquire as to terrain of venue before selecting footwear. High heels not so great on grass whilst handling children altho I must say the great outdoors does make kiddy toilet trips a lot simpler…] we decided to make …
I don’t get it. We had appliances and furniture in our house in London that happily lasted us for years. Once you gave them a wipe, they looked good as new. For some reason everything we own, after just a few months, is on its last legs. Take our posh Brabantia kitchen bin [wedding present …

So how does a country recover from the horror’s of last friday night? It doesn’t. Not really. My impression is that people just absorb the horror into their psyche, bury it somewhere, and hope it doean’t come out anywhere noticable. Having spoken to many friends, it appears I was not the only person to check …
I am sure by now everyone knows about the horrific terrorist attack which happened last friday night. To my recollection it is often the case that news travels faster outside of Israel than it does within. Here’s the gist: A family of 8 living in Itamar, went to sleep on Friday night. Only 5 of them never …
We up in the North are currently experiencing a whole week of rain… once again our garden has turned into a lake and the smell of mould permeates our bedroom. We have given up trying to get rid of it and are just accepting furniture damages and possible bronchial diseases in our future. Every time we try to ask …
Well I think that’s a pretty impressive statement for a just-turned-two-year-old. I mean he gets the see/sea differentiation which is great. And he remembers his experiences. Our weekly excursions are going down really well with Jojo and each week is exciting as we get out a guidebook or leaflet or go online and find some random place …
