Lavender season 🥰 early starts, flowers & family time.
Monday 20th June 2022: New week, new energy and hopefully better internet connection 😂 It is sunny this morning but not as hot as it was at the end of last week, a comfortable summers day. That means I can get on and I have a lot to do as always, last night I was…

Home sweet home 🏠 plenty to catch up on and the flipping dodgy internet again 😏
Well hello everyone 😁 we are back from our holibobs which was a mixed bag of weather and destinations, the one consistent thing was the excellent food and service.

Monday 16th May 2022: Unlike a usual Sunday evening, I didn’t sit down, instead I made cakes 🙄 simple 2lb loaf cakes, four lemon and two chocolate. The chocolate ones were made with oil instead of butter because I ran out of that. I definitely managed to use up a few eggs though and as…

Planting, sowing and picking.
Wednesday 13th April 2022: Ooo it’s Wednesday and so far I haven’t written a thing 🤪 That’s because I was pretty busy Monday doing all the usual jobs, some bits in the greenhouse, watering everything that was looking dry, housework and some paperwork bits. I had to get that all sorted because late afternoon I…

Direct sowing, flower crowns & a steam train ride.
Monday 4th April 2022: Weeeee it’s Momday again and this week I am covid free 😁 It was raining this morning which is brilliant because we have not had any rain for ages and the water tanks are getting a bit dry. I think we have a good bit forecast on and off this week…
