  • Soup, ducks and a big hole! 

    Monday, felt great, well rested from not doing much at the weekend, decided to get a move on and start clearing the garden and tidy up, it was going well, I took up and old raised bed and moved all the earth to a new bed, dismantled the rotten sides and levelled out the ground,…

  • Apples, Bread and Pumpkins = Autumn 🍂

    I have been trying to keep up but the heat this week makes it hard, I spent too long in the Sun cutting the hedge last Sunday and paying for it this week, I should have been more careful but when the weather is with you, you got to work. 😝 So the Electric board…

  • A mixed bag of a week 😋

    Monday was a wet start to the week but, as is often at this time of year, too warm for a raincoat, so either you get wet from the rain or damp from sweating with a coat on, I decided on getting wet. After feeding and letting out all the birds, I usually go into…

  • Boo 😜

    I have been asked by a couple of people why I haven’t been blogging lately and to be honest I don’t know, maybe I just got out of the routine of doing it, maybe I got bored of doing it who knows ( I have been doing it nearly 5 years!) but the nights drawing…

  • Four Mums and a Dad 😃

    Firstly, sorry it’s been so long since I last posted, life has been busy in every way. Our grandchildren are, as expected growing daily, and it is my belief that everything must stop for time with them, it’s precious time, unrecoverable time, important time, much more important than blogging, gardening, cleaning or even cooking. Of…

  • This weather is ridiculous 😜

    There I have said it, I have tried to refrain from moaning about the weather  over the last few months but honestly this would try the patience of a saint. It’s a good job I have held off of planting anything much in the garden, if I had put in spuds on good Friday as…

  • Goose egg lemon curd……..cake😝

    I like the moment I decide to make a cuppa and sit down to write my blog, sharing the ins and outs of daily life with you is one of life’s little pleasures, not that there is much to tell to be honest.  It’s been pretty hectic some days, constant streams of egg customers, people…

  • Imaginary labourer, you’re fired! 

    Hello bloggers, sorry it’s been a while, have been busy with various things including entertaining our grandson 😃 As always I can never remember exactly what I have been up to but it includes a lot of tidying, feeding, mucking out as well as the usual household stuff.  I finally managed to poison whatever was…

  • Goose eggs and Bunny runs.

    Due to the dismal weather I had planned some editing of the website but after a couple of hours faffing about I had to get in touch with the online help only to find that there was a technical difficulty at their end, at least it was not me just being thick and unable to…

  • Pancake day 😀

    Happy pancake day, one of our milestone days here on the farm and probably our favourite!  It’s a good job we have things to look forward too as the weather has been shocking to say the least, the constant rain had resulted in a lake in the paddocks, even the hay barn flooded which is…
