WITH A TWIST

So what is 'through the window'?

Well, when I was small I used to love listening to the stories and sayings, songs and rhymes of my Great Aunty Liz. But the thing was, rather than just sticking to the script, she would always add a peculiar twist.

My favourite was a simple saying that we heard every visit just as we were leaving. She'd stand on the kitchen step at the side of the house, wave goodbye and shout, "Bye now, and if I don't see you through the week, I'll see you through the window." Lovely.

Not just the norm, but that little bit different. Just enough to stand out, just enough to make you stop and think. And that's what this blog is all about. Interesting things both of my own and from other places that you might not see through the week - but hey if you pop back, you might just see them 'through the window'.

Welcome, and cheers Aunty Liz x.
