Wood
With the Esse, which we pretty much run 24/7, we need a plentiful wood supply. I am fairly proud of and confident in my husband, who goes out to add to the wood supply whenever he has a spare hour or so. Today he has been twice to get some wood. He goes down the […]
Four additions
It’s great having power at the house now. We can listen to music and plug in lights, not to mention all the power tools that can be powered up without the noisy generator hogging the airspace! We are delighted with the return of our goats, Anna and Giddy, who have been holidaying at Craige and […]
Power among other treasures…
Indeedy-do – we now have power at the house. Just before Christmas, we had power connected at the cabin. Mick, the electrician, is also a farmer, so was busy cutting hay and butchering cattle, until he came over today and connected the house to the mains! Yay!

A bit more news
Not a lot to report, although things at the house are moving along nicely. I haven’t blogged for a month! Apologies! We are waiting for the windows: Double-glazed Western Red Cedar casement windows!

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 […]
Cobb #2
Apologies for taking so long to write the second installment on the Cobb oven story. Life is so busy as it is, but with Christmas in the mix it is ludicrous! It was an almost-warm Sunday morning when we set outside to work on the cobb oven. Before sifting the dirt (in the old bed […]
Goings ons
I have been a slack blogger of late. Partly by choice and partly not. I’ve had a revelation that if people actually wanted to know what is going on in our little life then they would make contact with us. So why should I blog? The other part of me has not been blogging because […]
More on the fence…
You will be pleased to know that the fence works. Surprise, surprise. Matty walked down there today – completely supervised by Monte – and got caught on the barbed wire as he tried to climb under. He’s fine. I haven’t checked his new jumper though. I know that it is practically covered in mud! Speaking […]
