Rain! It rained 😁 thank you for the rain, I am so happy it finally rained 🥰
Monday 15th August 2022: I have taken to watching the rain radar, a live website so I can either see some relief or disappointment approaching 🤪 This morning, though I intended to get up early, I didn’t, so I was then playing catch up. I didn’t water, I am hoping that is done for me…

It’s hot and dry, that is all I have to say 🥵
Tuesday 9th August 2022: No idea what I did on Monday apart from cut a whole load of flowers for an order that was cancelled 😏 and went to my brothers in the evening for his birthday. The rest is a blur 😝 Tuesday: After making up a couple of jam jars, sorting flowers for…

Time to release Hilda, everywhere is parched & still no significant rain.
Monday 1st August 2022: Last night Hilda had her first slug supper 🥰 I was glad she dived straight on it and devoured it because it means she knows what she should be eating and will be able to feed herself when she is released. She is also self anointing now which is another sign…

Monday 20th June 2022: New week, new energy and hopefully better internet connection 😂 It is sunny this morning but not as hot as it was at the end of last week, a comfortable summers day. That means I can get on and I have a lot to do as always, last night I was…

Home sweet home 🏠 plenty to catch up on and the flipping dodgy internet again 😏
Well hello everyone 😁 we are back from our holibobs which was a mixed bag of weather and destinations, the one consistent thing was the excellent food and service.

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…
