Well Autumn is here and I’m loving it! Such a beautiful time of year as the days and nights start to cool down. A lot of seed has been going into the garden and mental planning of when and what Winter vegetables I’m needing to get started, so I don’t leave my run too late.Continue reading “Autumn Gardening and Hot Cross Buns”

It’s Nice to be Back!
Well it’s been quite sometime since I last sat here and put my fingers to the keyboard and shared, but I’ve had this niggling at me of late to start writing again. The sky is overcast with showers on and off, just the weather for blogging! And I’m feeling like I’m getting back to myContinue reading “It’s Nice to be Back!”
Early Morning Milking and A Beautiful, Simple Dessert
It’s good times on the farm at the moment. We have green grass in the paddocks! What a beautiful sight. It’s almost as if our eyes are adjusting, you become so used to the look of the dry after a period of time and then when all this green surrounds you it’s like a longContinue reading “Early Morning Milking and A Beautiful, Simple Dessert”
Springtime and New Beginnings
Well it has been lovely to be in the garden, preparing the soil for Spring vegetables after some much needed rain. There is just nothing like working or for that matter enjoying the garden and outdoors after rain, everything is alive and fresh and singing it’s thanks. Even the birds are excited and especially active.Continue reading “Springtime and New Beginnings”
Spring is Just Around the Corner!
Spring is in the air, we are not quite there yet, however the temperatures and the flowers blossoming are sure signs that Winter is all but gone for another year.

A Whole Lot of Little Things Make Up One Big Life!
I love borage and so do the bee’s, it’s lovely to have it back in the garden again. It’s been a time of lot’s of little things around here lately.

Inside or Outside? Kitchen or Garden?
It’s a never ending tussle in my mind. To work outside or inside! There’s always plenty to do on either side. And the thing about growing food is, sometimes in addition to your usual cooking there is pickling and preserving to do. These are good problems to have though, and in the end it allContinue reading “Inside or Outside? Kitchen or Garden?”
It’s a New Day!
I love those early morning moments just on daybreak as the sun announces a new day. It seems like such a special time of the day, everyone and everything is fresh and all the possibilities of the day ahead await you. However there are also those times when the thought of a new day leavesContinue reading “It’s a New Day!”
Fruit Fly, Mosquito Nets and Mango Cheesecake
I have been losing so much fruit lately, all my lemons are getting stung and some of my oranges. It’s so disappointing to have so much fruit go to waste. So I have decided to firstly keep my fruit trees at a manageable size, and secondly put nets over them to protect the fruit. TheseContinue reading “Fruit Fly, Mosquito Nets and Mango Cheesecake”
Using What You Have on Hand
I have to say I have been really enjoying my passionfruit cordial of late. When I come up to the house after working outside it’s so refreshing, much better than anything you can buy from the shops. If you can get your hands on some passionfruit or have it growing in your garden, it’s wellContinue reading “Using What You Have on Hand”
