Curry Carrot Soup
People have asked me what I have been doing to lose weight. My response is pretty standard. There are no secrets. I’m just trying to eat less. I haven’t even exercised that much (that’s changing now though!). It’s just in what I consume. I’ll go into more detail about my diet throughout the course of […]
2016
This year has gone quickly. Let’s recap. Back in April, Monte started working for a company in Edinburgh. This involves a change in his working hours, so he works evenings as well as during the day. He’s enjoying the challenges of his new role, as well as the opportunities to travel. He went to Edinburgh […]
2017 Goals!
It has become my habit to set myself goals for each year. Firstly, I’ll look over how I went with my goals for 2016: I set a goal to grow more food. Although we started the year well, with plenty of fruit, vegetables and meat, we haven’t put much effort into food growing lately. The […]

Chicken shenanigans
Well. Let’s talk about the birds, shall we? My beloved chickens and ducks! [rollseyes] We have so many chickens. And the door of the coop broke in the wind, and hasn’t been fixed, and we have chickens *everywhere!* I don’t want to show you the mess they’re making on our deck, or the way they […]
Apple Things
So, Autumn is here. That means foggy mornings, windy afternoons and chilly nights. And apples. I woke up one morning recently and went outside – in my pyjamas – to pick this basket of apples. They were crisp and super tasty. It’s apple season, and with all the apples we are being gifted […]
Hot Cross buns
It’s that time of the year again! Hot cross buns. You’ve gotta love ’em. Sweet, spiced, warm and slathered with butter on a cool autumnal Easter morning. Or any morning in the lead up to Easter, if your family is like ours! I’ll tell you something though, which is going to make me sound […]
