Monday 21 May 2012 As you can see, whilst drinking our tea yesterday morning, Alex started investigating my new phone and its interesting apps, and before I knew it she’d published a post on my blog. She’s gone back to Cheltenham again now as she’s back to work tomorrow, so for the timebeing I shall [...]

Muddling Along
Posted in Days Out, farm, home, photography on 11 April 2012 | 6 Comments »
Wednesday 11 April 2012 As you may remember, Gordon is a member of the local parish council and much to his delight (not!) was appointed councillor in charge of footpaths and bridleways. If you know any farmers you may be aware they don’t really like people walking around on their land since ‘the general public’ [...]

Wednesday 28 March 2012 Well, here we are again, catching up. Where does the time go? I’ve been busy gardening/farming/socialising/shopping! The garden is now pretty much ready to start planting things in, although I’ve yet to devise a way of stopping the cats crapping in all that lovely prepared soil as if it was a [...]
Lose a Cat, Gain a Cat

Wednesday 29 November 2011 When we went away to the wedding in Gretna Green, Gypsy decided that life without us here was not quite so much fun, probably because there was no-one to stop the other cats picking on her, so she ran away. We know where she went. Several times Gordon went to fetch [...]
I’m Back

Actually, we’ve been back for quite a while, but life has taken over as it’s inclined to do. We went to our friends’ wedding in Gretna Green and although they drove up to Scotland, Gordon and I decided to fly to Newcastle a day early to spend a little time together. We were met by [...]

Tuesday 18 October 2011 Next week Gordon and I are going to a wedding so yesterday I went with my sister to The Mall at Cribbs Causeway to look for a short black cardigan and black shoes. We had a great time looking around but even with the huge selection of shops there we were [...]
And Rain Stopped Play

Wednesday 5 October 2011 Thanks to the unseasonal sunny weather we grabbed the opportunity to make a start with the harvest. Gordon and Dan were doing well with the corn until the combine harvester gave up the ghost in a cloud of smoke at the end of last week, successfully putting itself out of action [...]
Longleat

Tuesday 16 August 2011 We had a wonderful day at Longleat yesterday with the weather staying warm and sunny until mid-afternoon. We started the day with a boat-trip around the lake where we saw sea lions, pelicans, hippos and the famous silver-back gorilla Nico on his island. He had his back to the boat as [...]
Sorry

Monday 15 August 2011 Sorry I haven’t posted for such a long time. The girls have been home and life has taken over. We’re all off on a jolly to Longleat today though so there’ll be photos by bedtime. When I say ‘all’ you realise I do not include Gordon in this outing. He’s difficult [...]
Back from Wales

Tuesday 19 July 2011 Just a quick warning – this post has the makings of being very photo heavy! I took my biggest camera and although it weighs a ton, it does take the best photographs. Consequently I took nearly five hundred photos, but don’t worry, they won’t all be on here …. well, maybe [...]
