Outside it is snowing, huge flacks but it’s been raining all afternoon so the ground is, touch wood, to wet for it to settle.
October has flown by; I’ve spent most of it working. I work right though from the 13th until the 22nd, two days off and now I’m back at work. Officially I’m on [...]

I’ve up-load a new film to YouTube.
Nothing to do with anything really but I enjoyed it.

At some point people will know what I think, they will know what is important & why things have to be that way.
At some point people will listen & ask questions, I won’t have to shout & jostle to be hear.
At some point this will happen, until then I shall just have to learn to [...]

I found a new place to buy seeds from, I found SeedsUK on the Grow-Your-Own Forum where the owner of the website is another forum member.
SeedsUK sells seeds individually or in small numbers so it is the ideal place to buy seeds if you want to try a few of a new plant/verity to [...]

This week I got behind on my posting because I a had a problem transferring a file from one computer to the one with the internet connection and lost everything I had written whist trying to do so, I think it was the first time I’ve ever completely lost a file, I’ve sometimes had [...]

Today was the local food festival; it’s a nice little event. The weather wasn’t so good for it, it rained all day and then started to brighten up just as it was time to start packing things away. It was still busy though.
I was working as a Play Ranger, drawing and making snow flakes, so [...]

Today it has not been nice, it’s been cold and raining all day. Not nice rain either, cold, wet, drizzly rain that starts every time you go out to try to do anything. Still the weather forecast has been storms and rain since Wednesday so we’ve had a fair run of good weather. It’s been [...]

I don’t normally read the Path to Freedon but mother sent me this and it looks like a really interesting idea.
I don’t think that there is enough produce in the garden at the moment to be able to join the challenge but it’s something to aim for, and hopefully by this time next year then [...]

I started ordering some more seeds for next year today, lots of different colours of carrot. Some red, two different purples, yellow and some orange (mini and giant.) I’ve tried to order non-F1seeds, the mini and giant are, so as I can have ago at saving some seed from them, and the yellow coloured ones [...]
