Quick Break From Hiking

Hello!
I didn’t get to sit and play with the last days hiking photos, so here is just a short random wrap up of things happening around Norwich House.
Yesterday was gloomy and soggy – today cloudy but only spits of rain.
We have been for three hikes around Anniversary Bay since returning from Cradle – we are much faster at this hike as, of course we are a lot fitter than before and not carrying 20kgs makes the world of difference!

Always nice to stop and have a lamington break 😀

We dropped in to see Ruby the day before yesterday with the intention of me gardening while Jeff mowed the lawn. Unfortunately the mower wasn’t going – battery dead and the jump starting thingy was also out of charge!
So we had cake and coffee instead!

Ruby also had a new fence made – so we picked up all the old palings and brought them home

I have this vague plan to cut and split most of it, tie them in bundles and see if I can sell some for kindling. We already have tons at the moment from the last lot of fences Ruby had replaced, so thinking to make a few extra $$ that way. It burns like a demon 😀

The tomatoes keep on coming! The stall out the front brings in a steady amount of money – every little bit helps.

Just loving our home grown meals every night. Still a lot of corn out there. It took me an hour and a half to cut and de-seed the last lot of chillies – and there is a bunch more in the hothouse to pick again!
Have made another batch of tomato relish and sold 10kgs of tomatoes to cousins/friends so they can make sauces too! And I am STILL swimming in tomatoes!

Random self seeded tomato plant producing well!

Its just a lovely time of year – plenty of fresh food and reasonable amounts of sunshine!

Cheers!
