Apples, pears, plums and a whole load of other stuff.
Monday 20th August: I’m thinking that maybe we should have opening times for the egg shed as last night someone arrived at 7.45pm expecting there to still be eggs available! A dull but warm morning so after the orchard animals were sorted and I went round checking for randomly laid duck eggs I decided to…

Runner beans, runner beans and more runner beans 😝
Monday 13th August: Not Up so early this morning, the urgency to water everything has now gone as the drizzle keeps on coming, they say the heatwave will be back but I have my doubts about that. John did the feeding, I went out and got started with the picking, the runners have not been…

Ducklings, a Blood Moon Lunar eclipse & finally some rain ☔️
Sunday night: I’m officially exhausted tonight, it’s close looks like it should rain but I don’t think it’s going to. There were a few other things I should have written on the blog but the technology was playing up and I was too tired to bother! Firstly that I picked around 2kg of blackcurrants as…

Endless watering, plenty of picking and Cornish mackerel for dinner.
Monday 16th July: The dry, hot spell looks set to continue with no sign of rain 😏 although as I have said there is moisture in the air overnight so there is some respite for the plants. We were discussing the last summer we had like this which was 2006, very hot and dry though…

Cherry pie, apricot jam and still no rain 😏
Monday 9th July: Up at 4.30am! Needed the toilet, starving, that’s the steroids, there was daylight so I figured I might as well get up an on. It was so wonderfully fresh and cool at that time of the day, even better than late at night, a welcome break from the daytime heat. Diesel also…

Getting there, ramblings of an overactive mind and a thermometer malfunction.
Friday 6th July: 9.30am and I’m feeling better today, I only had to have a half hour sleep after getting up at 5 to water the garden lol, yesterday it was a two an half hour sleep so that’s progress, the pains have pretty much gone and the neuralgia in my fingers is back to…
