A while ago now I signed up to starting a ‘Daily Good Life’ YouTube channel with some other bloggers, Lucy from The Smallest Smallholding started it off. The idea is that we all take it in turns to post up a sort of video diary of what self-sufficiency things we’re doing or interested in and [...]

I sowed the other half of the pea seeds tonight, these are planted on the right moon phase so as I can compare them to the seeds sown last Sunday on a flower phase.

There is still snow on the ground here, and more fell last night. There was also a power cut, I’m not sure how long it lasted. I woke up to the smell of a burnt orange candle and Rhys telling me that there was a power cut but not to worry, he’d already put a [...]
The white stuff

Well, there’s no prizes for guessing that we’ve got snow along with most of the rest of the country, or that’s what it feels like, and it’s not that I’m a grump but snow seems to create so much extra work and after almost a whole week of it, and more forecast, I’m really tired.
