Kitchen Fail – beware YouTube recipes!
I like to experiment in the kitchen as well as the garden but sometimes they don’t work out too well so I’ll be more careful about YouTube recipes from now on! I’d made a lovely dinner – some chicken noodley thing with various veg thrown in. I found a packet of some tasty spicy paste…

Bee Amazing Today!
I was taking photos in the garden of the flowers and fruits we are starting to see… But then I spotted something and I was inspired (who tutted?): So I made this: In case you are wondering, he appeared to be tasting the door to my diy polytunnel. I didn’t ask him why.

I made a fairy garden!
Yes, I finally got it finished – we now have a fairy garden in the front and it lights up at night. You may remember a while ago I mentioned I’d started making some furniture for my fairy garden and I was having problems with the pond and the neighbour’s cat? Well the cat broke…

#Bring back the 80s
Can I claim that hashtag please as I would actually like to bring back the 80s! I never thought I’d say something like that. I’m not one for reminiscing you see. I’ve heard it said that those who focus on the future experience anxiety while those who focus on the past experience depression so I…

Making a fairy garden (part 1)
If you listened to this weeks episode of my podcast, you will know I have decided to turn part of the front garden into a fairy garden. There is a patch at the side which just has a lilac and bits and bobs and doesn’t look particularly pleasant. So, I got my thinking cap on…

A Weekend of Garden Work
How can I work in the garden all weekend and still not be done? I ask myself that question as I sit, with tired arms and bits of dirt still in my eyes. I mean, I tidied the front as much as I could by cutting the grass, going round the edges a bit and…

Do you say ‘Happy Anniversary’ to a blog? I knew the date was fast approaching so I checked the blog list and sure enough, it was exactly one year ago today that I started this ole blog and put up my first post. Doesn’t time fly? At first, I put up a lot of older…

Garden Visitors
Spending time with the bees and butterflies in the garden. I wanted to round this week off by sharing a couple of snaps I got today when I was in the front garden. I’ve done a lot of pruning of trees there and haven’t been able to get to the branches to cut them down…
