Not expected or in any way intended, however last night was a windy one and plenty of green debris was lying around this morning. At the front of the house there was a bird’s nest on the ground, but no…

Actually it wasn’t a bad week, but the loss of Scooter was sad. Last year we lost 3 of 5 pet lambs and were told by farmers that the loss amongst pets wasn’t unusual, as you can’t substitute a mother…

We’ve had an interesting weekend, largely due to spending saturday helping Kate to felt a banoose. Apparently it’s a north african cape type thing. North africans must be huge as the piece measured 18′ x 9′, and as such covered…
