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…

Cold frosty weather, a game changing bit of kit & a birthday lunch.
Monday: Grey, dull but mild enough for Winter. John still has his tooth problem and it has got worse not better but he went to the dentist this afternoon and they have given him stronger antibiotics. Because he is not sleeping well he was late up this morning and late going to work, he had…

Cold, wet & lots of research 😁
Monday 3rd January 2022 (Bank holiday): We have done quite a bit of work over the holidays and there is always plenty more to do but I decided not to do outside work today, I just feel I needed to get some things done inside. John however has been working outside sorting out the duck…

Snow, a beautiful bargain & a pantry 🥰
Monday 29th November: Oh what a lovely Monday morning 🤪 snow on the ground, flipping freezing and as yet (2pm) it has not thawed 🙄 A different routine this morning, the birds are now all housed and so that means there is no point John doing them in the morning before he goes to work,…

Bulb planting, leaf gathering & snow!
Monday 22nd November: The temperatures have dropped to normal levels now and so I think our run of mild weather is gone for good. I don’t mind a cold dry winter it is much better than a mild wet one 🙄 Even though it is colder the sun was out shining away and eventually it…

Christmas cards, stir up Sunday & books done ✔️
Thursday 18th November: Yes it’s Thursday before I get to write anything down and that’s not just because I have forgotten. It’s is because Monday, Tuesday and four hours Wednesday morning I have mainly been doing paperwork ready for it to go to the accountant before the self assessment deadline 🙄 Our end of year…

Card making, cake baking & bread.
Monday 8th November: Hellooo I will try to be a little more focused on writing the blog this week, been an bit slack if I am honest 😁 This morning it was fresh but not frosty, a beautiful pink sunrise greeted us first thing. John did the morning feeding and letting out and then went…

A farewell, a home brew & Christmas cards
Thursday 4th November: Again it’s midweek before I think of sitting down to write the blog, not sure why that is happening but I will try to be better otherwise I forget things. Monday I spent the morning cleaning and then making some banana bread in the early afternoon before doing the afternoon feed and…
