This weekend really felt like it was nearing summer, or spring at least. It was warm and felt crisp and fresh outside, lovely weather for working out doors in.
There is still a little bit of snow here and there, in little sheltered spots and piled up in the corners of carparks.
Me and Rhys sorted ‘that [...]

Christmas Shopping
Posted in Uncategorized on November 15, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I started on my Christmas shopping, I’m still not convinced that Christmas in November is allowable, but I’m realising that planning is everything. For example under my normal rule of ‘do-not-even-try-to-talk-to-me-about-Christmas-until-December-the-first’ would not have allowed me to have sown carrots all those months ago to have carrots ready to be freshly harvested on Christmas morning, which I’m [...]

On September 17, 2008 from 21:50 to 22:00 hours.
Proposes to turn off all lights and if possible all electrical appliances, so our planet can ‘breathe’.
if many take part, energy saving can be massive.
Only 10 minutes, and see what happens.

Egg Freezing – trying and testing it
Posted in Uncategorized on June 21, 2008 | 2 Comments »
We have a glut of eggs at the moment, that is of course what happens when you produce in season food.
I’ve heard of a few people who freeze eggs for use later in the year, so I’m going to try it.
This morning I bought two different kinds of ice cub trays and ice cub bags [...]

Found it!

At last years Big Green Gathering I bought the 21st Century Smallholder for something like £4, it’s a great book. The most useful it I find part is a month by month planner of jobs. I hadn’t seen the book for a while, had sort of even forgotten that I had it, until when I [...]
Internet-less and hatching

Firstly the bad news – the internet at home isn’t working, it’s been getting slower and slower for weeks and now it have finally said NO MORE! It’s nice in a way though, no internet means no email and no ebay which frees up a surprising amount of time.
The good news - both broodies now have one chick [...]
Cuttlefish

Since I stopped buying loads of stuff I didn’t really need from ebay I never really get any interesting post anymore, so it was extra nice this morning to get a little package full of cuttlefish fresh from the beach for the quail.
Thank you to TheGirlsMum from the River Cottage Forum who sent them to [...]
