Where I've been
You may have noticed the lack of posting of late, well that's because I have been keeping myself busy with other little projects. Here's a couple of them:
I helped Mel do this super lovely spring time wedding up in the hills near our farm. We made a lovely day out of it, worked in the morning, made some wholesome lunch, took ourselves into Woodend for coffee and cake, then watched dvds all evening as the torrential storms thundered down outside. Ahhh, blissful! More over here.

Under the hammer ... and the pump
This weekend saw the culmination of weeks of hard work for both my Mum and her garden assistant extroadinaire as our property went up for auction ...
Mum's friends gifted her with 2 BUCKETS of paeonies in anticipation of the big day. My job on the morning was to fill the house with flowers; Tori was put on raking ...I know who got the better deal!
Oh yes, and there was chocolate cake :-) Mum wisely invited friends around for little post-auction party, one of the neighbours, Bess, brought this jaffa iced cake with her; I've decided I quite like Bess.
Wholesomeness
Mmmm, I made a scrummy wholefood-y barley and veg salad last night.I'm looking forward to summer ... simultaneous multiple salad action! Anyway, sitting out at dusk, it reminded me of another tummy-satisfying vegan meal I had; this one with Claire in crazy Christiania.
Oh you Jest
Court Jester lunch, afternoon t and scribble time with the delightful Melissa and Nellie ...
The sour cherry and chocolate cake absolutely knocked our socks off and left us speechless, so rich but so yummy!
Huh, fancy that ...
There I was nonchalantly filling jars with floral bits and pieces, when I knocked one of said jars off the bench. This is how it landed. It sploshed water all over the floor whilst in mid-flight but landed upside down, half full and sealed!
We did go to the park
This was Sunday, now it's thursday and it's grey and pouring; oh well, you've got to take the good with the bad!
I love the IOM
As the memories of my overseas trip quickly fade, to be recalled only during times of relative quietness; I finally find a couple of hours to share a few of them with you.
Let's work backwards. Here are some of the images collected on the Isle of Man; homeland to my mother and heartland to myself.
An afternoon stroll: Nana, me and three excited terriers.
