May already!
So. April came and went, as it aways does and always will. I wasn’t wrong to think we had a drought – here in the UK it was one of the driest (and coldest) Aprils on record. The climate crisis … Continue reading

Delicate planning – the Christmas edition
Now we’re out of lockdown and formally into Tier 2, not a lot has changed, for us at any rate. We will still minimise our contact with others, especially indoors. We will continue to think carefully about any plans. We … Continue reading
In the time of the virus: we went away!
We were fortunate enough to go away on holiday twice this summer. Neither were the trips we’d planned; both provided a refreshing and much appreciated lift to the spirits. Each time we were uncertain whether the trip would be possible … Continue reading

In the time of the virus: where did the time go?
I’m not sure where the time went, I seem to have been away for a bit. Sorry about that. Mostly busy being busy; in between times busy feeling exhausted. Thank you for the good wishes for my operation, which I … Continue reading
In the time of the virus: a day of reckoning, and a (virtual) coffee trip
Sorry, this is a rather long post. Console yourself with the thought that I may not post again for a few days. Sunday. Tomorrow I’m due to have the overdue eye surgery. Usually I’m someone who hopes for the best … Continue reading

In the time of the virus: more adventures online, and a major fundraising push
Saturday again, but sadly no trip to the Farmers’ Market this week again (but something to look forward to doing again next week). This morning we had our first-ever online AGM for the Farm. Normally our AGMs are a great … Continue reading
In the time of the virus: Sunday’s (virtual) trip – Fanø

In the time of the virus: Saturday again
Another week gone by, and we’re almost at the end of our first week self-isolating. Lots done this week, and lots more to do next week. Then I imagine I may be out of action for a day or two … Continue reading

In the time of the virus: day 97
Sunday again. Plans for an afternoon garden get-together were abandoned, for several reasons but the main one was the very changeable weather. Tea in the garden not such an appealing proposition when it’s intermittently pouring with horizontal rain then sunshiny … Continue reading
In the time of the virus: day 96
And here we are again on the weekly merry-go-round back at Saturday. A very different day from last Saturday – from my perspective, enjoyably cooler and showery (so no need to water anything apart from the greenhouse plants). Sadly an … Continue reading
