Birthday dinner with my love

Hello!

Hi folks! I thought I’d pop into my blog to say hello and, yes, I’m still alive! Haha ? I know it has been a while since I posted, but, you know, life has been busy. I would like to start posting more at fangornfarm, but things will look different because life is a bit […]

Winter take #2 (in December)

I thought I would write about the weather. Tasmanians talk about the weather a lot. A lot! Usually, it’s either too cold or too hot, or too wet or too dry. The weather is very rarely “just right.” This week the weather has been horrid. We have had low temperatures (12C) and rain. And snow. […]

Nanowrimo 2019

Polytunnel

Polytunnel

We put the chickens into the poly tunnel over winter. It was good for the chickens because they got a warm home, with plenty of seeds and bugs and green things to eat and scratch. It was good for the poly tunnel too, because the chickens got rid of bugs and plants and seeds from […]

Happy new year!

Happy new year!

Hi there! It has been an age since I wrote last. I think the treatments really got the better of me and I had to narrow down my priorities a bit. Blogging kind of went on the back burner. So here we are in a new year already! This New Year’s Eve we celebrated a […]
