Monday 15th October: The year seems to be racing past now! Yesterday afternoon while just straightening cushions on the sofa my back twinged and now I am suffering with lower back pain, ffs does it never end 😝 It’s not massively painful, I can move but it’s a constant nagging even when I have taken…

Autumn jobs, Autumn food & Autumn weather, must be Autumn 🍂
Monday 1st October 🎃 I made a batch of tomato soup last night ready for my lunch today, it simmered slowly on the Rayburn hob, lovely. I got thinking about the green tomatoes and looking at something a bit different, enchilada sauce seems like a good way to go, not that we eat enchiladas but…

Wednesday 19th Sept: This is the first chance I have had to write anything, as you can imagine it’s been pretty full on since we got back from our holiday. We had a splendid time, mostly spent relaxing, some acupuncture and massage and lots of eating, drinking and talking. The farm has been in the…

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…

Sunday night again: As I usually start the blog on a Monday morning I sometimes miss out something relevant or interesting, tonight while John was watching the F1 highlights I was reading a book I ordered last week. Pretty interesting stuff and quite a lot of plants I had no idea you could eat, some…
