Eggs, bee swarm & a million and one jobs to do.
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…

Monday 9th May 2022: Woah what a full on morning I have had this morning. First though, after I published the blog yesterday afternoon we had a situation. John shouted, you better come out here the goose is not well, it’s backside is hanging out 🙄 I go out and sure enough the goose had…

Flowers, singing for Beltane and and bit of rain 😁
Monday: 25th April 2022: A new week, tad chillier this week in the morning but it did warm up as the day went on. John had to phone the doctor this morning about his arm, who sent him to the MIU (who didn’t want to see him at the weekend) for an x-ray, when he…

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…

Spring cleaning, sad news & my first bouquet 😁
Monday 21st March 2022: A new week and I will try and keep my fat fingers under control 😂 The temperatures are looking great for the week ahead climbing up to 19c which will be great on the one hand but on the other I will be monitoring how well I feel out in it.…

Sowing, Planting & 2nd place (I will take that 😁)
Monday 28th February 2022: There was a beautiful pink glow in the sky this morning before it turned to drizzle. To say I felt sick yesterday when Putin started talking about Nuclear alert was an understatement and I am sure that the vast majority of you felt the same. How is it in this day…

Goodbye January, a baby announcement & a Sloe Gin competition 😁
Monday 31st January 2022: The last day of January and while I would never be one to wish my life away I am certainly glad we are another month nearer to some warmer weather 😁 John has gone to work this morning which meant I was on the rota to do the rounds, it is…

A wassail, a new logo & some seedlings.
Monday 17th January 2022: Old twelvey, 12th night (pre Georgian calender) Wassail day 😁 Another cold and frosty morning and I was on the morning duties as John went off to work. After doing that (a little late as I spent an hour on FaceTime with my brother in Aus) I got on with making…
