Dizzy, another storm & getting my stores in.
Monday 6th December: Today was a bit of a write off, I went out and did the morning rounds but started feeling a bit dizzy and nauseous halfway round, that feeling didn’t leave me all day and so apart from the absolute basics I didn’t do anything except sit or lie down. I was hoping…

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,…

Half term antics, a wedding & Samhain 😁😁😁
It is Wednesday and I realise I have not written a single thing for the blog! The main reason for that is that I have had other things on my mind and plenty to do that is not Smallholding related. Tomorrow is Charlotte and Maccas wedding day 🥰 and so as you can imagine I…

A mixed bag of a week 😏
Monday 18th October: I had fully intended to get a fair amount done today but in the end I didn’t. The one thing I did do was to get the tortoises inside ready for the winter sleep. I found Voldy pretty easily he was still out and about, when I started searching for big billy…

Wood chip, garden bounty & a change of plans.
Monday 11th October 2021: Must try harder to write every day and not forget like I did last week 🤪 Already this morning the plans I had have changed and it’s only 9.30 am. I had a phone call from a tree company who are working in the area had want to bring wood chip😁…
