Day 13 – 7/04/2020

We got our promised rain today, although it was less than I was expecting. When I got up this morning we’d had a few showers but it wasn’t raining when I went outside. In fact it was quite pleasant. I shifted Holly yesterday, she is on the track that runs below our house and down…

Day 12 – 6/04/2020

Today I burst our family bubble! I had to go to town and get some supplies for us, food and fuel. Seeing as I was going in I also got items for several elderly friends. It was a surreal trip for me. We don’t have TV so I haven’t had any visuals of how the…

Day 11 – 5/04/2020

I have to admit, I’ve felt a bit flat today. I think I have worked physically over the last 10 days or so and put a lot of energy in to keeping in touch with people in our community and keeping our home running. Today I needed a quiet day and a chance to re-charge…

Day 11 – 4/04/2020

It looked like it was almost a frost when I looked out of the window this morning, however once I was out and moving it was fresh, clean and energizing! Today the dogs and I tried to explore an overgrown track but it had too much blackberry and gorse and I had to turn back….

Day 10 – 3/04/2020

Today has been another one out of the bag. The world seems to get a little bit crazier by the moment, but we have been blessed with the most gorgeous of days. We are forecast rain on Wednesday next week, lots of time between now and then! I had a lovely walk this morning. I…

Day 9 – 2/04/2020

Today has been another beautiful sunny day. I worked in the gardens this morning. Laurie bought some gravel up so that I could put it in the drums where the strawberries will eventually go. I did two loads of that. I am sure it will help with the drainage when we get heavy rain. After…

Day 8 – 1/04/2020

Another stunner of a day today. No clouds, very little wind and fresh clean air. Oh, did I say no clouds?, well there was just not above us. One of the interesting phenomena of nature when you live on a hill is the way the cloud hovers beneath your altitude. So it was first thing…

Day 7 – 31/03/2020

Another beautiful day Inthebush today, although there is a nip in the morning air. I was thinking of frosts and cold toes as I let the dogs out. As always the dogs were super keen to get out and stretch their legs. I am conscious that I need to keep Mica fit. Once we are…

Day 6 – 30/03/2020

Today was a day for the reds! It’s interesting how quickly the Entomola hochstetteri (blue mushrooms) have become so common! I have had so many people message me saying they would love to see one, and here was I hungry for another colour. I think there is a message about human nature in there!! Anyway…

Day 5 – 29/03/2020

My day started off so well. I was out having a wonderful walk along our loop track with the dogs. Laurie had done some scrub cutting to get the gorse off the side of the track, so I was pretty keen to check out what he had been up to. Pretty impressive!!! After joining back…
