Garlic
Big Dreamer was given some garlic to plant in the garden by a friend at work, so we put it in the veg patch yesterday afternoon. The wind had died down a bit and the sun had come out but … Continue reading
Eggs
I flew back to Scotland on Friday evening. As soon as we crossed the border the turbulence started. We bounced and bumped our way onto the runway. I stepped off the aeroplane and as I inhaled I could taste the … Continue reading

Waste not, want not
Yesterday morning was beautiful, crisp, and frosty. We got into minus numbers on the thermometer but the sun was out so the day seemed to glow, reflecting off the oranges and golds of the autumn leaves. Morning fog rolled down … Continue reading
Bonfire Night
