Preparing for the year ahead.
The weather has warmed a little but it’s still only around 3/4c most days, sometimes with a heavy fog, plenty of conspiracy theories online about this 🙄 We have managed to do a bit outside although there comes a point when fingers and toes are protesting a lot and that’s the time for me to…

Cold 🥶
That’s a bit of an understatement! It has been freezing this week, not by some standards around the world but definitely by ours. The thermometer in my greenhouse registered -5 on the coldest night which means it was at least -8 outside and that didn’t really let up during the day either. Needless to say…

Happy New Year 🥳
I totally lost my way when it came to the blog during the last year, I started writing a piece so many times that I have a plethora of drafts I now need to delete! What was wrong? Writers block, lack of confidence, nothing to say? A combination of those and more I suppose but…

Rain, cold and finally some sunshine.
Monday 26th February 2024: Not frosty this morning but we have a cold wind instead 🙄 It’s lunchtime and I am just sitting down writing this up while I wait for my beef broth to defrost and heat up in the pan. Apart from the usual jobs one of the first things I did this…

I found a frog 🐸 some flower work and plenty of outside jobs done.
Monday 29th January 2024: First month of the year almost done we just need to get through February 😂 I started the day with a cook up, I am getting into a good routine with this and I have great freezer choices to show for it. We had roast chicken yesterday and so I wanted…

The weather is up and down and my tooth is out!
Monday 15th January 2024: We had a beautiful warm glow sky this morning, it didn’t last long and when I stepped outside it was trying to snow. There was a good frost which is much needed but I prefer the days that warm as they go and I don’t think we are going to get…

Sorting appointments, seeds and poly tunnel.
Monday 8th January 2024: It is a tad colder now and at least the rain has stopped. This morning a flock of long tailed tits arrived which nearly always suggests a period of cold weather looming. I spent the first couple of hours trying to sort out appointments etc, trying being the operative word as…

Bookkeeping, wedding flowers and cosy nights.
Saturday: Ooops I forgot all week to write anything, I have had a busy week and so that is partly the reason not just bad memory 😂 I had flowers to do for a local residential home on Monday and then flowers for a small wedding on Tuesday and also I had Oscar so I…

Flowers, plants & seeds.
Monday 13th February 2023: Another reasonable day coming up, not much sign of any sun but it is dry and not freezing which is a bonus. I have a busy morning ahead of me doing flowers, the heart tributes are very popular 🥰 which is just as well because I love doing them. I am…

Plenty of hearts and flowers this week 🥰
Monday 6th February 2023: The temps dipped to below freezing again last night but the sun is out so that makes you chirpy. I jumped in the shower after breakfast and when I came back to the kitchen John told me the horse had got into the front paddock. They are only allowed in there…
