The Good Life...Ish.

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...

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...

Hi guys! I can't believe that tomorrow it will be a week since we were at Woolfest already! We had a wonderful weekend, tiring, but wonderful! Now, i'm ashamed to say i didn't get nearly as many photos as last year :( On friday i was just so tired i didn't even think about my camera, all i wanted to was go to bed after getting up at 6am so we could set off at 8 and get there in time for lunch Lovely Angora rabbits, i want one! This is a Castlemilk Moorit, we made friends with the owner at lunch and had a wonderful chat about all things woolly :) The hotel was wonderful, the staff were so welcoming and accomodating.  The food was also lovely, if a little too generous, the portion sizes were so huge we only got through half of it!  resting my poor feet after a long day! I came home with some beautiful fluff and a new spindle,this is Merino and silk, the photo doesn't do the colours justice at a...
