We all need this at some point
I admit I’m taking a big risk with this one. If you don’t usually follow my YouTube channels, you won’t know I have done a few of what I call ‘Visual Poetry’. That’s to say, I take a poem I’ve written and put it to music with video. It’s a little creative itch I get…

Online Homesteading Bundle for 2024
I don’t normally buy online courses or ebooks but I jumped in with this one and it looks like it’s going to be a cracker. I saw the video Charles Dowding did about it. I follow him on YouTube and when I heard about how many people are offering ebooks and courses, especially Charles himself,…

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…

Do you eat watermelon? If so, you should know about this
I’m putting this out as an extra post today because I think it’s important for everyone to be aware of. The channel on youtube covers loads of great topics for health, growing and being as self sufficient as possible. They are a lovely couple and I wanted to share this video with you because if…

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
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
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…
