A farmers toast!

Let the wealthy and great, Roll in splendour and state, I envy them not i declare it, I eat my own lamb, My chickens and ham, I shear my own fleece and i wear it, I have lawns,I have bowers, I have fruits,I have flowers, The lark is my morning alarmer, So joyful boy's now, Here's god speed the plough, Long life and success to the farmer!!

Time!!

Time where does it go????? I've had a lovely day today memorable in it's simplicity, just me nell and tye !! She chatters continualy mum do you remember this??? mum do you remember that??? I shake my head,, I know it was years ago when i was young [shes only 12 now]...It's wonderful the family stories and memories change from year to year , but i do love to listen to her more colourful version of the most mundane things ...Today we cloud watched sprawled out on a rocky outcrop! and it brought tears to my eyes because it only felt like i did it yesterday with my mum on sunbeds!! in the back garden in rhyl,... we hid from ramblers and spied on them , odd i know but fun and a lesson. we identified footprints, Otter,fox badger, sheep, deer,and tye..we taught him to climb trees "watchout squirrels"...And nell found a sheeps skull that she s brought home yuk... all in all a blumin lovely day....xxx

A time for quiet!



Well here's a bit of purple from bodnant, it seems both our cameras where jinxed that day, but who needs camera's when elizabeth as discribed the day so well , I came away with neck ache the trees are so tall,,,, imagine the people who planted these specimens would have seen them as twigs they planted them for us and i say Thank you ..it is splendid........

I,ve had 2 days alone it as been very strange no TV or radios or bickering just silence and i feel refreshed ...Nell is camping with friends and the other two are busy working and colin. i'm at home with the rain beating down outside it's Bliss............i was going to force myself to go to the bodelwyddan garden show, ,i go every year and enjoy it, i don't think it would be rained off ! well it's flowers and garden furniture so you'd think not and i may get a bargain....

Thanks again for a lovely day elizabeth and you never know you may be at Bodelwyddan.....I can't seem to get on to CCW today i'll try later..xx

a word from........


This week saw the instalment of s's caravan , not a cute little quilted retro one[which the guy no longer wants to sell BIG SULK!] but a big hunking brute!! My kids are so lucky imagine your own pad at 17 with a gardener , cook, laundress, and alarm clock, some how i think i got it wrong it should be me in the caravan....

I'm meeting elizabethm tomorrow, and we're of to bodnant we'll post a photo .

Had my first taste of tree sap wine today it's a bit watery as yet ,but its sparkling and it looooks lovely, it's got the cloudness of something truly organic [or not fermented]..

Suffolk mum i'm glad you noticed my advert and that you liked it a certain lady jane from exmoor did the writing, Diolch yn fawr...xxx

the picture shows the caravan stuck again and the men sawing down my gate posts, where's monty when you need a fence removing?????????

S'S 17th tomorrow her boyfriends working so we'll have a b b in the field or summat with lots of my friends.as well as hers ...xxxx

I heard my first cuckoo today!!!! i did see it last week under attack from two teeny birds whose nest it obviously had its eye on......
A hypnotist came on the straw bale course and she's coming camping at the end of july when i have a gathering of friends, and said she will do the flying carpet??? please enlighten me someone....xx

Boy am i aching today, and not really looking forward to another to another day with a jcb chomping around . ahhhhhhh just had a message he's not coming , but darn we really wanted to get all the mucky work done at the same time and the fences back up..monty and merry really wanted to party last night and twice they escaped, i've had to park the car sideways at the entrance to keep them in, i bet the neighbours think i'm completely bananas ...and the dog's have to be kept in or they'll be off , the greyhounds running blithly up the road not realizing they are running away! because they're used to circular track's and in there mind's if they keep going they'll get back to you eventually..ddddddduuuuuuuuuuu .
Theres VW show at bodelwyddan castle i may clean mine and drive down to see whats going on,well it's a beautiful day and early so theres lot's of options..
