Here & Now

Loving // The glorious rain we've been receiving at long last. Proper storms - loud thunder and brilliant lightening, decent amounts of rain and warm days that makes the grass kick. Summer, I love you, when you behave as you're meant to.

Eating // home-made sourdough with home-made chutney and home-grown steak. Too many 'homes' in that sentence, I know.

Drinking // anything cold. Juice and soda water; ginger beer; cold cocos made with our Missy milk. 

Wearing // mud and hay and cow hair and sheep wool and milk from missing the bucket when milking and all the things I get on myself at 'work' on a daily basis.


Feeling // happy that the rain has come at last. You're probably sick and tired of hearing about rain but it makes me so so glad.


Wanting // more hours in a day, more days in a week and more weeks in a season.


Thinking // about rams and sheeps and baby lambs. I'm hunting for a ram to purchase as my youngest ewes will be old enough to become mamas soon, and I'm wondering if Mabel-sheep is pregnant or fat? She was supposed to be in lamb when we bought her. It's hard to tell cause I have nooo idea about pregnant sheep - I'm still learning about pregnant cows - and as a friend commented about the sheep recently, it's hard to tell if they're in-lamb because they're in such good condition. Only time will tell. It's exciting.


Dreaming // of eating our first home-grown passion fruits - our vine has just begun to flower. There's that 'home' word again.
