Sorry for the lack of posts the last week. I've been busy with articles, work and life. The weekend just gone I went to Wales to help my dad do some building work, a long weekend of it, I had scouts Monday night (fire lighting in the rain) and a talk last night in a village called May Hill!
Today has been a bit calmer though, the boy is off ill and I managed to take a bit of time off to play a load of games with him this afternoon which was great fun.
I did a walk around of the smallholding at the start of the month and didn't share it here, it shows what we've been up to in January. I managed to make it a really productive month and tick off some big jobs from my long list.
Let me know what you think.
Anyone else think life just gets busier and busier?
I hate working more than 3 days a week off the smallholding. Otherwise everything becomes overgrown and neglected.
ReplyDeleteWe have discovered that it would if we continue to let it. We have made a conscientious decision to make days for ourselves to do nothing but things we enjoy doing. This weekend is one of those times. I plan to keep a fire going in the fireplace all weekend long, read a couple books and enjoy life with our kids since the eldest is coming home from college later today.
ReplyDeleteIf you have any friends with a dog (almost any breed) and ask them to walk the dog around the perimeter of your garden(s), those dogs will tell you where the rabbits are coming through. They have a nose for that kind of thing, in a manner of speaking.
ReplyDeleteIf *you* don't know anybody with a dog, I bet your kids do.
