This was taken from a moving vehicle – I wasn’t driving it at the time, my sister was! I took it because the view was so far-reaching. What a great day it’s been today, weather-wise. Of course, there is that sky too. Further on in the trip my sister put the roof down and I [...]

Spring Has Sprung

The clock said it was 6.00 am when we got up this morning, but we knew it was really only 5.00 am! So much for the clocks going forward. It felt very early and apparently the cows agreed as they weren’t keen to rise and make their way into the parlour.
However, the sun has been [...]
Red sky in the morning …

As you might have gathered already, I have a bit of a thing for the sky! This sunrise was taken back in November when there was frost on the ground and I was up early enough to see it. I can’t remember the rest of the day, but the sun coming up was pretty spectacular. [...]
Look At That Blue Sky

Since I’ve started this blog I’ve got into the habit of carrying my camera with me; after all, you never know what you might want to take a photo of. This is a view from the car-park on top of the Angel Precinct where I parked today. Just look at the blue skies. OK, it [...]
Badge of Honour?

Look what I did today. I gave blood. Nothing remarkable really, although I do feel a little glow each time I contribute. That would be the blood loss, I expect! This is my twelfth time (I think). I got a little badge on the ceremonious occasion of my tenth donation. Alex came with me today to [...]
I Don’t Believe It!

In the words of the legendary Victor Meldrew! I’ve fixed my tumble drier! OK, you might not think there’s anything remarkable in that, but the way I fixed it is incredible. I typed ’Creda repair’ in the internet search box and the site it came up with was called www.howtomendit.com. I went there and typed in [...]
The Year of the Appliance

Compared to yesterday, today has been a lot more interesting. Compared to yesterday, anything would be more interesting.
I started with the milking, which is the last day until next weekend. Daniel is back tomorrow from his extended weekend break – I bet he can’t wait.
I had birthday cards to deliver today to friends in Bridgwater, mainly [...]

I started the day with the milking and although it was almost as cold as yesterday, at least it was dry.
We all agreed that the Pudding Evening was a great success last night. The conversation, wine and custard flowed equally well. Gordon and I decided this morning that our hostess had made a fantastic job of the choice [...]
Happy Easter

I milked this morning and it was raining. A lot. The poor cows stood outside with the rain dripping off their backs, but I still had to climb out of the pit to fetch each batch of eight. You wouldn’t think it was a tough choice as a cow, would you? ”Shall I stand here in [...]
Boring Day
Posted in Uncategorized on 22 March 2008 | 2 Comments »
I decided to carry on with my downsizing today, especially after hearing that there’s going to be a Jumble Sale soon. I love an excuse to get rid of all my rubbish, which is probably why I enjoy Freecycle – or rather I did, until a couple of weeks ago when I got messed about [...]
