We woke up the day after Boxing Day to a spectacular view of Lake Wolfgang, Austria. We’d arrived in the dark so it’s always nice to see what you have arrived into when the sun comes up.
We set off early in the day to town and wandered about for a bit. Robert the Husband was [...]

We cooked on Christmas Eve. Getting things ready for the next day. Robert the Husband rustled up a batch of sausage rolls. They were eaten pretty quickly.
He also made two different types of risotto. Delicious, divine and a juggling act to cook.
Thanks, pet.
I volunteered him to cook two types you see, and he pulled it [...]

Oh my goodness I can’t believe that I’m even writing this message, it’s very exciting to be with you at this time of year and I hope you’re having a wonderful time.
First of all I would like to say thank you to everyone who has taken part in our Christmas Stocking Advent Extravaganza. We have [...]

I really can’t remember the last time this happened BEFORE Christmas.
I find snow really emotive actually. Everything becomes so pure and calm and quiet. Unless you’re stuck in travel chaos of course or have a great deal of it year upon year. But we don’t around these parts so it becomes and event. When it comes [...]

Life is cyclical in so many ways, we know that don’t we?
Each year as Christmas edges nearer I get out the cake board and purchase far too many sweets in order to make a Gingerbread House. The garden changes from season to season and within 12 months it’s back to where it started. The food [...]

Do you ever walk in to your office or walk up to your desk or even just walk in to your kitchen and see how much there is waiting for you and walk right back out again?
So do I.
In fact I did that today.
I was up and dressed saw what I hadn’t managed to finish, [...]

So, I found out yesterday afternoon that a whole bunch of new people are discovering this site on a regular basis. Understand when I tell you that there was an annoying amount of “Whoop Whooping” when I heard. Sometimes it can feel like one is simply pressing the publish button and sending stuff out into the ether and in [...]

I was offered one heck of a makeover project on Friday. And I took it.
At this point I was standing there waiting for her to come trundling through my neighbors gate.
Where for art thou?!
Ah!
If there was a symbol for a makeover project such as this my eyes were lit up by them at this point.
Welcome to your [...]

So, this was the view on Friday evening. Lovely. All the beds had been marked out and the wood that we were using to build them had been laid in place. The sun was going down over the paddock and all was well with the world. The twins had been over that evening and I’m [...]

Only three days after the new website had gone live Robert & I flew out to the States. Working wirelessly was a godsend and seeing as the break had been booked for a few weeks we had no choice but to go. It was the best thing we ever did.
Apart from the moment when this [...]
