I’m sitting in the kitchen at Frog Pond Farm, the door is open, and I’m listening to bird call. My old cat Eric is sitting at my feet glancing at me ever hopeful that I will give him more food. The odd butterfly flutters past and the wind can be heard in the pines …. …

Ah Crete
Crete, was next up on our holiday travels and what a fabulous country to visit! The people, food, cafes, beaches, and hikes if you are eager, are just wonderful. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone. But it’s hot! Andrew’s sister Joe, and her man Will joined us for the 10-day sojourn, which was …
Refresh
My absence from posting this time is a whole year! Even my marketing manager in the UK, aka Bill, has given up on me and fair enough too. I think the only one that has been badgering me to get cracking with a new post is hubby. Thank you for being consistent. Of course given …
At last
Bill (hubby’s dad), my ‘UK based marketing manager’, has for years now been emailing my blog world wide to his friends, ex colleagues and family members. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if everyone in his contact list has received a link to my blog at some stage. As I have become incredibly slack again …
Red Autumn
Goodbye autumn .. what a lovely season you were! Hello winter, not so lovely, but hey, I do enjoy wearing boots, jackets and jumpers.

Gone in a flash

Hubby planted these – gorgeous aren’t they We enjoyed an epic summer that was …
Summer Daze
We have a new addition to the family, Lily who is a Perendale sheep, with quite possibly the loudest baa I have ever heard! She has attitude to boot and a penchant for food – any food. Thankfully she has settled in well with Mookie our other pet sheep, who still holds the status of …
Spring bounce
You all know how much I love my veg garden right? When walking past my herb and salad bed, I can’t help but stand back and admire the bustling veg within. Calendula and forget-me-not, oregano (which has doubled in size since the start of spring), rosemary, thyme, parsley which is going to seed (shame on …
Autumn days
I’m ensconced in the office – it’s Monday and it has been raining on and off. I’m watching the water as it trickles down the windows which btw need a clean! There is the odd plop as an olive drops to the roof of the shed below which is where hubby has all his bits. …
Photo jumble
I did have an amazing summer garden, trust me. It’s just that I didn’t take many photos of it. Why? Absolutely no idea! Silly eh .. Proof, I did grow beans We have a larder stuffed with jellies, jams, pickles, stewed fruit, plus a freezer stacked with bags and more bags of plums and peaches. …
