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’ [...]
Thirsty

Friday 30 March 2012 My new phone has a very decent camera on it unlike my old phone which was so awkward to use that by the time I’d sorted out what I was supposed to do to get it on the screen, the moment had passed. Whilst fetching the cows today I tried to [...]
The Early Bird

Thursday 29 March 2012 Although not quite an early bird as this was taken around teatime. He definitely caught the worm despite the lateness of the hour.
Hello Again.

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 [...]
Today I Saw This
Posted in farm, garden, home, photography on 11 October 2011 | 4 Comments »
Tuesday 11 October 2011 All day yesterday and a little bit of this morning (before breakfast, no less) was spent cutting the maize. We kept going yesterday until it was too dark to see anything including the hitches on the trailers. I’d already set my mind on finishing today so hadn’t planned anything else. Consequently [...]
And Rain Stopped Play
Posted in Days Out, family, farm, photography on 5 October 2011 | 2 Comments »
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
Posted in Days Out, Eating Out, family, friends, photography on 16 August 2011 | 2 Comments »
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 [...]
