Stocking Up

Hello!
We had a couple of pressing tasks to work on today (besides all the dishes that had mounted up within 24 hours of my mother leaving! Seriously! How does that happen??)
Anyway, step one was to load up the car and trailer with the very full bins and recycling etc and do a tip run.
I don’t think its been quite three months since we went but extra visitors means a bit more in the rubbish department… especially over winter when there is less coming in from the garden.

Then we went and bought two crates of firewood.
We have gone through so much this season!! We started burning way early this year when summer came to an abrupt stop, and all the miserable rain meant we have been keeping it going during the day more too!

Hopefully that does us for this season… but I am not positive. If we get good days, then we will be outside working and no need for a cosy fire. Just the night fire.
Legs and arms feeling it tonight! Glad its done though. I feel better when I know its there.

New neighbours have acquired a poddy-calf.
He runs over for a scratch from his new best buddy, Jeff. He is a cute little fellow.
Haven’t spoken much to the new neighbours. Just really once a while back when they were about to settle. They are quite elderly (in their 80’s I would assume)
Quite something to take on nearly 2 acres at their time of life.
We do see family over there doing this and that to help out.

Spring flowers are popping up here and there.
Now that we have the pressing tasks of rubbish and firewood sorted I can concentrate on those raspberries and strawberries.
Bit by bit!!

Cheers
