Wet and miserable

well the farmers have had enough rain to keep them in grass for some time, so I hope they're happy :-) it's been good rain for down on the farm, the kind of rain that makes grass grow, without causing havoc with floods. It's rained nearly everyday for the last two weeks, and been bitterly cold after a false start to summer a month or so ago...did I really get sunburnt?? Anyway, it's cold and wet again today, and snow has been predicted. This all means that I haven't been getting out in the garden much and it shows. The grass...is growing, it's starting to look quite a mess, and even the guinea pigs can't keep up with it. They are huddled up in their hutches, gnawing on some pumpkin, and I don't blame them. It's not a nice look outside.

new bath

Just picked up bath no. two, is still in the car because it was raining when we got home, it's not that pretty at the moment but I'll paint the outside soon, wondering whether to stick with pink...or go with blue this time??

cats :-)



I have lots more pic to upload, but have had enough for today, will do some more later, will finish for today with these pics of my cats, they like hanging out in the backyard with the goats and the chickens, but feel a bit safer with some protection around them :-)

veges are starting to happen

the first of my veges are coming up, lots more to come...plus grass, but I have plans for that lol, am going to graze guinea pigs around my tyres :-)

oops, put the wrong pic here, will put the right one later

trees, a ton of them



I got a bit carried away when someone dumped a few hundred healthy trees at the green waste, took home - ALOT of trees and planted some of them around my boundary, now looking for a home for the rest lol

Blue and orange


I might be shy but my gardens not! bluebells against the orange walls of the house

yellow and pink


the daffodils look stunning against the pink bath!
