Time in general seems to be flying past, the day, the week, the month, the year, life! As I have Said before, one reason for writing this is to be able to look back years from now and remember what we did, what we learnt and the laughs and tears we had on the journey.…

Well we made it through the two weeks holiday with barely a mention of divorce so I consider that a triumph! The jobs on the list have yet to be finished as the wood has still not arrived to finish re cladding the front of the building and Hubby decided to start another major job…

The publishing and indeed writing of the blog is way behind today, I picked up a stomach bug somewhere (goodness knows where as i haven’t been out) and spent most of last night up and unwell so I am not at my best today. It is quite a shock to the system as I am…

I have totally enjoyed catching some of the Olympics over the last two weeks but now it’s time to get back to some serious work and my list has suddenly got very long. The veg patch has been putting on some growth at a great rate of knots, the runner beans grow about six inches…

I am getting as bored of talking about the weather as you are reading and experiencing it I expect, but the sad fact is that it affects everything we do here, apart from watching the TV and even then if it is a downpour the noise on the tin roof means that you have to turn…

It’s not too bad a day today still not July weather but at least it’s not raining at the moment. The heavy downpours we had last week have turned the chicken runs into a mud bath again and the paddocks are sodden, the aquifers must be full by now! I have been waiting for the…

Good Morning, what can I say, what I would like to say is, it is another fine day here in paradise! In truth, it’s raining again, the thing about the rain when you work outside is it affects everything you do, and normally throughout the Autumn and Winter you expect it but not in the…
