In between Time
I am sitting in my hotel room in Los Angeles, California. I have a long list of paper work that is not really paper work it is all done on the computer but you know what I mean. First order of the day for us is to write the questionnaire for potential woofers. Young women …
How I write the Farmy Blog
No pictures today! It was ‘one of those days’ yesterday and Our darling Barb at Just a Smidgen. has passed the baton to me to discuss writing so I am only writing today. Barb is a poet, photographer and designer of no small renown so I find myself a little out of my depth following her beautiful piece …
Walkabout the FARMY with the Big Animals
Day Two of the Farmy Round up. Wow. It takes two days to walkabout the farmy now. So much to see. Here is a grubby Paisley Daisy… ..with her good friend Queenie Wineti. We tried to breed daisy twice this season but both times it did not take. Then it was too late in the …
Walkabout the FARMY
I do love our walkabouts. Come along then. I shall name everyone as we go along for the newer members of the Farmy Clan. First into the barn and here is Pania and Tui, hiding out in the dimness. It was still a little windy yesterday and they do not like inclement weather. They came …

All weather is relative really. An Australian drought would devastate this area. And a mid west drought would …
Let’s go Walkabout on the Farmy. Our favourite thing!

The Sleepy Eye of my Mind
When I first dreamed of having peacocks, this was the scene I saw in the sleepy eye of my mind. Kupa up on a fence surveying the farmy. His colours flashing but somehow blending with the surroundings. A tail like a collection of impossibly precious emerald brooches draped so casually across the rustic fence. Kupa …
Off we go for our walkabout on The Kitchen’s Garden Farmy
Walkabouts are my favourite posts. Today we will wander through the cast of the Kitchens Garden Farm. I could not fit everyone on the one page but you will get the idea. This is The Duke of Kupa. He has two wives and spends an enormous amount of time trying to attract their attention. But …
