This weekend is a long weekend for some of us. Here are some of the things we were meant to be doing, should be doing, would like to be doing…. Building a fence. We’re quite good at building fences as you can see here! Having a barbeque. Nope, not going to happen. I’m still in [...]

I now have a comments function. Leave your comment/question at the end of every post! On Sunday night, as the rain lashed against the windows, I asked myself if it really was the end of Summer. I’m not so sure it is. I often get caught out like this. I assume the long hot days [...]

Robert the Husband says that I like to colonize areas. By this he means that if there is a space I will fill it. Whether that be with junk that actually needs to be sorted properly and put away or with an idea. When creating a container garden in the space outside my back door [...]
