Phew! Responding to Kev's challenge

Hi guys :)

Sorry i haven't been around to do updates, my uncle John visited from Thursday to today so we've been out and about.

We went on a lovely walk and to the nearest town to get supplies. I ended up dragging a spade around. I also got lots of potting soil and some peat seed trays.

The carrots have finally decided to sprout! Woohoo!

Hopefully i shall have more things ready to grow next week as i am awaiting a seed delivery, when it decides to show up!

The Bearded Wonder looking moody ;)

Uncle John being silly

What a view!!!

We have started work on unearthing the path through the middle of the garden. See the fence in the background? It got blown over in the wind! and now it looks like the other half of the fence is trying to do the same :(

I couldn't resist this from Poundland to hang in the pantry

And finally, i am responding to Kev's challenge to post a photo of myself, this one is far away enough to not scare you ;) as you can see i am very short!

And me and The Bearded Wonder

What have you been up to this week? :)

Adding to the flock- Ex battery hens

Hello! How the time has flown! This Saturday saw us adding two new girls to the flock. Meet Felicity and Penelope. The poor little buggers were so frightened by this strange new world, with fresh air, room to move and dirt to scratch in, but they've soon got used to it and are coming out of their shells. Felicity is definitely the bolder of the two, and now she's figured everything out she likes to show poor little Penelope who's boss Felicity checking out the dust bath Barbara checking out the roost in the new indoor shelter (formerly a wendyhouse) Felicity stepping out into the sunshine. This afternoon saw me teaching the new girls how to peck at the broccoli i'd hung up for them. Fliss was unimpressed, she'd rather try and eat my engagement ring. The good news is that after a week they are all starting to settle in with each other, and now there is much less squabbling between them and the older girls,...

It's here!

Hear that? That's the sound of a hallelujah chorus playing in celebration Yup. You guessed right, a miracle has occurred, the paint has arrived! Six tins of painty fun! Though no wallpaper. And they forgot one of the roller tray sets. But never mind! Because most of it is here and for now that will keep me happy :) We've already started on the top half of the living room, a gorgeous clean white, and the bottom half will be started on next week in Country Blue, i'll do a wee tour when it's finished :) The reason it won't be done until next week is because the plaster needs at least 4 weeks curing before it can be painted on. Irritating when i just want to get on with it lol To keep myself busy i painted my little telephone table and the basket below is halfway through being painted, i'm waiting for it to dry before i do the next coat. I also painted my "Dresser" and how lovely it looks now :) the paint h...

Freewheeling!

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 bee...

The Good Life...Ish.
