    Growing carrots using the egg tray method – the honest results

    I saw this method on YouTube and thought I’d give it a go. I put up a post previously about how I set it all up but in case you’ve forgotten, I’ll give you a quick reminder. Today they look like this: So was it a success? Actually, no it wasn’t but the failure is…

  • This really hit home for me

    This really hit home for me

    I was sitting scrolling through the YouTube shorts instead of actually doing what I was meant to be doing, and I came across one which really hit home. I think this short video is so well done and carries such a strong, powerful message. Hope you like it (let me know in the comments what…

  • This made me laugh so hard…

    I may have mentioned once or twice that illness has swept over us like a dusty old blanket so anything that makes us laugh is very welcome. Scrolling through the shorts on youtube I found these guys and I knew I had to share them with you: (hope they make you laugh as much as…

    If you like dogs….

    I told you in yesterday’s post that I want to share some youtube finds with you so today I’m bringing you someone who might be known to some of you but is new to me. In his series called ‘Sitting with dogs’, Rocky Kanaka goes to his local animal shelter and spends time sitting with…

  • His name is Livingston

    His name is Livingston

    There are a couple of people I have come across on Youtube recently who I would really love to share with you. The first one is a young man with a huge talent. His name is (Drake) Livingston and I have spent the last weekend listening to his music which I can’t get out of…

  • A dog who loves presents

    Our dog, Scooby, loves presents, whether they are his or not. His birthday is the 23rd December and yes he does get birthday presents which he rips into with great enthusiasm. Before Christmas, he was sniffing around the Christmas tree and the presents underneath it, like a shark hunting for food. On the big day…

  • So this is what happens to apples you don’t pick!

    We had a few apples still on our little tree in the back garden and I thought to myself, ‘I must get them in’. I went out to collect the last few and saw only one little, sad apple left which wasn’t worth picking! What happened to them? This:

  • WordPress panics and other online disasters!

    You’d think I’d have learned by now, but no, I still have to torture myself apparently by trying to ‘fix things’ without really knowing what I’m doing. To celebrate finally getting the domain for the blog all sorted and having ‘my very own website’, I decided a re-vamp of the front page was needed, at…

  • The Hallowe’en Party (A spooky poem for Halloween!)

    The lights are dimmed, the beats are loud, They’re ready for the party crowd. Open doors, invite them in; This years cocktail – ‘Bloodied Gin’. The Frankensteins are looking swell, New stitches, tightened bolts as well. They boogie in the hall for hours, Then plug themselves in for more power. The Mummy family is here,…

  • Proof Dogs Do Dream in their Sleep!

    Our lovely dog Scooby was sleeping soundly in the living room the other night, when it became apparent he was having a dream! Sometimes he makes a lot of ‘wuff’ noises but this one was silent so I wanted to share it with you:

  • Normal Life Challenges?

    The past week has felt more challenging than normal. Maybe its because the summer holidays are drawing to a close and the start of a new homeschool year looms ever closer. Maybe its because I’m a bit under the weather, despite my best efforts to stay healthy – including starting to make kombucha which I’ve…
