Ain’t it Grand!

Nature never fails to delight and surprise. You can’t be in a rush though, you need to have time to stop and really look.

What develops after the flowers is also worthy of closer inspection.


Our Magnolia grandiflora- Kay Parris which was planted in 2012 has given us many flowers this season and more to come.

Kreative Kids



On the 1st July Aly helped me to cook sweet treats for a catering gig for the MX-5 Club AGM. Two days later I helped Alex make drawstring fabric bags for gaming controllers, ready for his pop up shop at AvCon on the weekend.

So many Shallots


I was absolutely delighted with the quality and quantity of shallots I harvested this year.

Last year weeds took a hold and smothered most of the crop. I set aside the best bulbs for this year’s crop and vowed to be more diligent.

Diligence paid off and I have plenty of bulbs to eat and replant for next season. I hung big bunches from the BBQ roof to dry off ready for storing.
