I got David a brilliant book for Christmas on growing fruit, herbs and veggies and we have already created 2 potato towers to grow both red and sweet potatoes.

Me enjoying a soy hot chocolate with Sharron and Leanne

The downstairs unit. Small, but did the job.

Don’t trust an overly accomodating Pole! We did and we were so hopeful that Picketts Valley would be the start of our animal sanctuary. It turned out the Polish man we thought was the landlord was just a tenant and when the real landlord found out we had moved in to the downstairs unit with [...]
