Sunrise and Coffee, The Perfect Start

We are having a very warm, unusual Autumn this year. With temperatures from 34C to 37C. It’s taken me by surprise. I packed away the summer clothes and pulled out the nice heavy winter doona’s after the cold spell a few weeks ago. Now warm nights have returned and harsh, sunny days. I’m sure the [...]

I’m back! I closed down to revise and refresh my blog and well, I just never found the time to get back to opening that front door. Sorry to all my readers. A lot has passed by. We are down to 1 pony – Millie, 1 goat – Freya. We found a wonderful home [...]

Spring I love spring, I think we all love spring. Except for allergies of course. We live in Perth, it gets HOT in summer, at times too hot to enjoy life outdoors. Spring is perfect outdoors. Perfect time to get the hard work in the garden done ready to sit back in the heat of [...]

Playing Farmville

3 years ago I sat in a suburban home on a 700sqm suburban block and played FARMVILLE. I’m not kidding. 3 years later I no longer have the time to play Farmville online because it’s more of a reality for us and it’s just as exciting and stressful as the game ever was. We are [...]
