Most years around this time, I would be writing about our harvest; about how the weather has turned and we can feel Autumn is on its way. Except that this year the weather hasn’t really turned. It’s still warm during the day, and although the nights are a little cooler, it still hasn’t rained much…
The News In Brief
We’re back in the thick of school and work after the summer break. In some ways it seems as though we never stopped, but despite the busyness of the start of the year we are feeling refreshed. Over the summer we stopped to pick some wild plums growing on the sides of the road. They…
18 Summers
*steps up to the microphone tap tap tap… is this thing on??? Hello! Long time no blog. I’ve thought of at least a dozen things to blog about over the last however long, but none of them inspired me enough to actually open up ye olde computer and type something in.

Most weekends and every holiday was spent travelling around England and Europe. In the process, we developed a love of exploring…
Autumn Glory
At long last, it is cold here! The fire is going 24/7 and the farmhouse is cosy warm. Outside, the trees have suddenly turned colourful and are scattering their leaves. On Friday it was snowing (!!) on the way to work, and we’ve had a little rain at the farm; though heaven knows we need…
Fig And Date Pudding With Butterscotch Sauce
At last, it is starting to feel a little like Autumn. The mornings are cold and the days are not so hot. It’s been a crazy Autumn so far. Hot and dry. Around these parts, most people light their fires by ANZAC day (April 25) or even earlier. This year we still have not lit…
