Real Winter

Warm cosy fire – why wouldn’t you like to be slothing inside?

Today has been a proper winters day – dark, gloomy, miserable, cold, rainy with some serious wind – and I’m loving it!

We were out and about earlier on, but once home it was so nice to snug up and relax inside with the fire.

Not a lot to report from my end of the world – Jeff got all gardening keen after the planting of the blueberries and went and pruned the roses – I think with a chain saw since they are now about a foot off the ground!!
And weeded this whole plot.
We went and grabbed a load of nice woodchips and when the weather is not howling – we’ll put down some newspaper and tidy it up with the woodchips.

Of course as soon as I am doing something ‘interesting’ I have several chooks underfoot!

And I had a little soapmaking afternoon – I cut this today and its pretty.
Lavender and cedar – such a nice combo!
I’ll get some snaps soon of the cut version
I have more lye mixed but haven’t made up my mind what to do – I got some new colours and fragrances – next will be apple and sage.
Stay tuned 🙂

Hope you are all doing well
Cheers!
