Exciting Developments

Published by on May 31, 2009

Very exciting things are happening in our neck of the woods! Excitement abounds… Firstly, as I write, work is happening on our house. The lazerlite sheeting is now fixed on our carport and both verandahs. It is wonderful to have some shelter from the rain (ever looming, ever present, bloody rain). The lazerlite is clear […]

News for Fangorn

Published by on May 6, 2009

Bad News to report, I am afraid. Last night some predator crept into our baby chick enclosure and killed the lot. They were nearly 5 months; ripe for the eating! We were planning a gradual slaughter and roast dinners for five weeks or so. We are bitterly disappointed, as these chooks were being fattened up for […]

Published by on April 24, 2008

My first attempt at spinning – using a drop spindle made of myrtle. I keep this in my car for when I have some spare time to spin on the run! (not actually whilst driving)  This week I went to the local spinners and weavers meeting. It was awesome! My mother-in-law gave me a spinning […]

Life going on

Published by on April 21, 2008 | 1 Response

Pardon me for not blogging for a while (actually, I did blog, but I ‘saved’ my post rather than ‘publishing’ it). We have been terribly busy hanging out with our new friends! Plus, there are all these ruddy festivals every weekend, so we’ve been so busy socialising and going out that I haven’t been posting. […]
