Thanks all you lovely people!

I've just come back from my stint in the village shop and I'm gonna make myself a deserved cup of tea. I also have some birthday chocolates to nosh....and they are all MINE!!!

I know I know...I am rubbish, but so much has happened over the past few months, my feet have hardly touched the ground!

Maybe I need to make a 'Mid year resolution' to be better organised with my time.

I've been told to get over here again and show me face!! Thanks Millie.

Yeah, I intend to have a nice day.....working the morning in my community shop as a volunteer. It's great!

Thanks for the birthday wishes.

I've moved house! What a palava all that stuff is, it was all very quick as we were expecting it to happen so quickly. I only moved 20 odd miles away but to the middle of nowhere...well a tiny village and have been up to me neck in everything, including mud. I have a garden with nothing in it, had t...

Sorry guys and girls, I just got busy all of a sudden (weddingy stuff) and to be honest I've been rubbish not showing my face here!

I am looking forward to a yap about stuff tomorrow. Goodness knows what yet, but when Tracey and I get talking....there's no stopping us!

I have filtered one of mine off and added some sugar it's still bubbling and the other one is still at it too! It's cleared quite a bit in the past week or so.

Do ya reckon ours 'll be ready for Xmas Dibnah?!!! We started them at the same time didn't we?

Crikey that's some damage, but as you say no one was hurt! It's a bit of a mess isn't it?

The fact that we are all making a conscious effort and thinking most of the time about food miles, ethical and organic farming is a start. I do my best with the resources I have and the budget I live on.

Every little step towards a greener lifestyle is great!

It was madly windy here yesterday. I only went out to get the kids from school. Our neighbours garden wall blew over...all 15ft x 7 ft high of it. Along with his fence. Mr Shiney was out in a HGV heading north and I was worried to say the least about him blowing over. He got back safely but said he ...

Ah great Dibnah, we have one locally. I'll check it out.

My Lemon and Ginger is still merrily bubbling away. When it stops should I syphon it out of the bottle and rinse out all the gunk at the bottom, then replace it? What ratio of sugar to water to fill it up again? It smells great, I keep having a sniff at the top of the bubbler thingy! Where to get ca...

It was originally 4th Jan and the Beeb changed it, like they do!

Oh yeah, This Life...must n't forget that, I was an avid watcher when it appeared a loooong time ago!

Cook!

January 3rd BBC 2. 4.30pm. Tune in if you can to watch me best mate on the telly!

Finally, I can say a HUGE THANK YOU to my secret santa. We've all be unwell over Christmas and I have been total pants in replying here. Sorry. I had the most fantastic hamper of goodies, all handmade and edible. I was totally bowled over by all the wonderful handmade yummies, all packed up in two f...
