I keep meaning to write a blog post roughly every month, but yet again time has just flown by and I realise it now more than 2 months since my last post, so with the weather being a bit over cast and dull it’s an ideal time to get caught up on what we’ve been up to which has basically…
What a wet summer
Firstly I must apologise for not answering some of your comments and posts, there’s no excuse really just that I’ve been having a bit of a computer free time. So after a really nice and sunny May, June and July were one thunder storm after another. Most days even if we didn’t get rain we could hear thunder storms in…
Living room, sorted!
It’s been well over two months since our last update so I thought it’s about time I wrote an update especially since I now have a new keyboard for my laptop so I no longer have an excuse to keep putting it off. We’ve had quite a busy March/April/May and we’ve been back to the UK for a couple of…
We spoke too soon
The decision to remove the living room ceiling due to the weather being so mild was a bit premature. The long range forecast started showing we were in for a lot of snow and freezing temperatures.

In the past they have given them a bit of a trim, only removing any long branches but this year they have…

A bit of a long post
Autumn has finally arrived, not that you would notice apart from the leaves dropping from the trees and covering the ground. The weather has been very mild apart from a touch of frost on the morning of the 1st November that finished off our peppers, aubergines and fig tree for the year. The temperature drops when the sun goes down…
Smoke and strong alcohol
Autumn has officially begun, and with it has come a sudden drop in temperatures, and a distinctly different feel to the morning air. I love this time of year. The cooler nights bring blessed relief from the baking heat of summer, and we can actually get some work done, instead of hiding from the heat during the day. After the…
