The Kingdom of Bohemia I'm an avid listener of audiobooks. I have one on all day while I work and I'm currently listening to the complete Sherlock Holmes collection read, with gusto and aplomb, by the wonderful Sir Stephen Fry. I had just finished A Scandal in Bohemia when I was decorating this…

My Space, My Peace Back in the day I knew someone in SL who named their avatar Poise. One day we were talking about names and I commented how the name suited her because she always seemed self-assure and carried herself well in her interactions with people. The more I thought about it the more I…

New Vlog Series – My Favourite Things Over the years a few people have asked me if I planned updating my video "Top 10 Landscaping Items" and I have considered it BUT I struggled to think how I could come up now, with just 10 items!

Mainstore Monday – HPMD HPMD is a long established Home and Garden landscaping store in Second Life. It's one of my favourites and I am sure a staple of many a landscaper too.
