Goals: revisited
The beautiful Swansea, east coast of Tasmania Back in January I wrote this post about my goals for the year. I have been remembering these goals throughout the year, so I thought I’d do a re-cap about them to show you how crap I am at sticking to them. Decluttering: I am gradually going through everything, […]
New additions at Fangorn Farm
This week I visited my friend on her farm and came home with two rabbits and three ducks! I’ve been wanting to get rabbits and ducks again for a while, but I wasn’t sure how to house them so I’ve been putting it off. I worked out that I could close off the outdoor pen […]
Garden love
Spring is just so magical isn’t it. I’ve been enjoying wandering around our garden so much.

9 months

PlaySchool
People who know me know that I love the children’s television show PlaySchool. As a teacher I can see the planning that goes into the show to educate and entertain children; to facilitate their learning through play and song; and to help parents learn how they can encourage their children to engage in imaginative play […]
Snow at Fangorn Farm!
We woke up on Monday, August 3, to the sight of snow lying thick all over our property. We were so excited. There was lots of squealing! Tasmania experienced a freak snow event, where it was snowing right down to sea level on Monday and Wednesday. We had snow resting on our property up to […]
