The Good Life...Ish.

Hello there! Wow! Its been two months since my last post! I just don't know where the time went! So, what's been happening? We are now the proud owners of 2 blackcurrant bushes, a tayberry bush and a loganberry bush, i've planted them and so far they seem to be surviving haha, fingers crossed! We have a "new to us" rug, which covers almost the whole living room, so no more cold floorboards! Woohoo! Thanks to lovely Jayne for helping to cart it back for me :) Also, thanks again to Jayne, we have a wee hoover called James :) The Bearded Wonder and i have been making the most of the lovely weather and have been exploring on the bikes  That day was sooo hot! I've been getting crafty and made a matching seat cover and bar bag for my bike out of an old backpack , and a face cover/neckwarmer for the cold weather from the bottom of an old t-shirt, though i have a feeling i may need to make a thicker one! Angus is gett

Hi guys! Hallelujah the fence is almost done!  2 sides just need crosses in the middle as extra support then that will be it :) Do you like the new path layout? The Bearded Wonder has been rearranging it (again ;) ) It was originally spaced further apart with stones in the middle, but the weeds kept popping up through the stones so this way (hopefully!) they won't be as bad! It's amazing that it used to look like this just a few months ago! The other side still resembles  a jungle, but it will get done in time :)  The Bearded Wonder has been amazing! He's dug out the whole front garden, and has started to add stones down this side, which are all the stones that got dug out from both sides of the garden :)  As usual, the weeds are already starting to grow back!  In kitchen news, i'm very pleased to show you my new toy, a Morphy Richards breadmaker! It was completely free and it came from the same lady where i got Angus, d

Hi guys! Remember me?  Well...I wouldn't be surprised if you didn't! For the past month I have been thoroughly immersed in the cycling world as we finally got The Bearded Wonder a bike!  Some of you will remember that i got my bike last year from freecycle, and i've been patiently waiting until The Bearded Wonder got his to go out exploring together. looking cool and unruffled, whilst i was red faced and out of breath! i look like a hamster with its cheeks stuffed!  A fortnight ago we ventured out on our first 10 mile ride , the problem with going anywhere out of our village is you will always have a hill to come back up! halfway up! A well deserved doughnut once we got home!  I also made a wee saddlebag from an old handbag pocket with clips attached to hold the puncture repair kit, just in case :) Last week saw us cycling to the next village, about 4 miles away, and the whole way was downhill, we've been through it
