Sunday from Monday
And today being Monday we look back on Sunday which was a gloriously sunny gardening day until the clouds rolled in and it rained buckets again. So far this summer we have had torrential downpours every week. Sometimes two or three a week. … Continue Reading “Sunday from Monday”
Lazy Saturday
Kind of. I gave myself a wee sleep in this morning – until 6.30 – which meant I slept through my writing time but I knew you would not mind. Here is yesterday. And this morning as Boo and Ton and I drove along… Continue Reading “Lazy Saturday”
Down the road
and after work came a 25 foot oak tree. Trundling down the road laid out in the back of Our Johns truck. An hours drive with a big beautiful tree trailing out behind him. It was in the way of the new pipes pathway… Continue Reading “Down the road”

Yesterday – right out of nowhere – the day relaxed. The air warmed up. The wind dropped. The grass seemed longer as the cows rested. The piglets dozed in their rubbish bin. Lady Astor took her baby into the field, stowing him in a… Continue Reading “Diffusion”
So Tired Now
Every few hours for the last few nights I have been up to check Poppy’s Sty TV but nothing. She is way past her due date now and there is milk in that udder but still no babies. Poppy does not have a perfect udder.… Continue Reading “So Tired Now”
