Christmas Update

A lot of work has been done on our house this year - insulating and re-lining. We have also added a few windows and doors to lighten the place up. the property has suffered a little as a result. The main veggie garden has been neglected this season. There are a few brassicas hiding in the weeds which should help protect them from the white butterfly. I have culltivated an area a few weeks ago that we still haven't planted into. We may need to re-weed before we can plant.

The Tunnel frames are pretty full. We built a smaller one this year so we have one large one filled primarliy with tomatoes, Zuchinis and cucumbers and the smaller one has basil and lettuces.

We have had a break from Wwoofers over the last few weeks. We were expecting a full house with 4 Wwoofers over Christmas but one couple found work elsewhere and the other couple arrived and left within a few hours - obviously not their cup of tea.

Weather has been pretty unsettled so far - which is good from a watering perspective but not so pleasant. Hopefully it will settle down to a nice summer (not like last year)

Hi Y'all

This is our families blog site. We intend to use it to provide updates to family and friends at home and abroad on our doings.

I have become aware of the ability to upload digital photos to the blog sites easily so hope to be able to post current photos of family, property and house changes and our significant life events.
