Snow, ice, rain, fog = Winter 🥶
Monday 4th February: It rained in the early hours and has taken some of the snow with it but there are still large bits of ice underfoot! It’s been a busy couple of hours already, we discovered that Molly had managed to pull down the door where the quail are and had two of them…

Seeds, Snow and Stars
Monday 28th Jan: Trees, or rather planting trees, is very much in focus at the moment as far as the government and environmental departments are concerned. Do you remember a few months ago I put some cherry pips into the fridge to undergo stratification, a period of cold that will simulate Winter, well it’s time…

Mixed weather, a unexplained death and a bit of baking.
Monday 21st Jan: I was up early to get a look at the Moon, sadly it was too cloudy and I couldn’t see anything at all ☹️ Today is labelled as Blue Monday, it’s a Monday morning in January they are all blue 🥴 The upside of the last nights cloud cover is that it…

Gardening, cooking, clearing out, a little bit of everything this week.
Monday 14th January: Another non weather morning, slightly cold but dry, I keep waiting for some ‘weather’ to arrive and am keeping my eye on the long term reports.

Twixmas 😝 I will be honest, in the run up to Christmas we didn’t do much apart from the necessary, we went out for breakfast a few times and went shopping mid week while it was quiet, all things we never usually do so it was quite a nice gentle stroll up to the big…

Festive greetings to you all 🎄
Monday 17th December: A cold but sunny morning, I was up early and made myself a cup of tea and went back to sit in bed with it which is a rare treat. John is now at home, I won’t say off work as there is plenty to do here 😜 we did the animals…

Creations, Christmas decorating and Cruella de Vil
Sunday evening: We moved 74 hens in the dark lol, each crate takes 12 hens and we have two crates, the last crate we squeezed the extra in as it’s not very easy pushing the loaded wheelbarrow through the wet mud 😜 They are now in the back pen which is fox proof, just as…

Rain, mud and rabbits and rats 🤪
Monday December 3rd : Oh what a dismal morning, never mind, onwards and upwards. At some point last night the electric tripped on the sockets in the office, I can’t find the offending item as everything seems to be fine now? After the epic family feast yesterday I don’t feel too bad considering, I thought…

Sewing, cooking and a Fantastic family feast.
Monday 26th November: Wednesday 😜 I didn’t get round to writing anything Monday and Tuesday, that’s mainly because I didn’t do much, on Monday I had a rest day mostly, I still had to do things around the house and chop kindling for lighting the fire but on the whole I watched some cheesy films…
