Endless criss crossing of tracks in this area!
It was chilly but mostly sunny so we got out for another walk.
I made a point today of collecting a whole heap of rubbish photos (not that I am sharing here because its too depressing) and at some point I might annoy the council about it.
I wish we still had the deposit returned on cans and bottles. Even if it didn’t stop cretins from throwing them out on the sides of roads, at least there would be groups of kids/clubs collecting them to raise money.
We came across one site that had a household lot dumped. Fish tank (broken) microwave, carpet, car jack, chairs, a naked headless Barbie… Half of it had been set on fire too. Trying to imagine how people think this is ok!
The steeper roads/tracks were a bit slippery still but mostly the going was ok – we did a bit over 6km again and worked up a fair sweat getting back up the main hills! Steep as!!!
The pine plantation areas often have a number of great fungi… mostly they are about done but we spotted a few.
I love these ones (Amanita muscaria ) Straight out of a fairy tale book.
And speaking of fairy tales – how cool is this?? A fairy ring!! I have never actually seen one before.
Did anyone else read about them in childrens fairy tales?
This one was made up of the coral fungi. I was careful not to step inside it as I didn’t have time to be kidnapped by pixies today.
I didn’t get much done in the yard today. I did clean the fireplace out and put the ash on the second Hugelkultur bed – and topped both beds with some of the cow poo. It was like icing a cake with a shovel… didn’t smell as good though! 🙂 😀
Oh – and in very exciting news, my main soap supplies arrived today! Lots of moulds, dyes and fragrances!!
Nearly got everything now!! Can’t wait to get making some more soap!!
Have a lovely day!
Cheers
