Logging

Posted on December 2, 2014 by Gary

Following a lovely Skype with Mum & Dad, I headed out into the garden, again. The rain was a mere drizzle…for a bit. Still, it wasn’t particularly cold and the drizzle really only affected Emma. I heard on the news … Continue reading →

Posted on December 1, 2014 by Gary

It’s been ages since I’ve been able to have a good go at the garden. How well I remember moving the plants from the back of the house. The deep roots and reluctant foliage. It’s now time to start moving … Continue reading →

And so it starts

Posted on February 19, 2014 by Gary

Mud, clay, rubble…that’s what the garden has been reduced to. Barrow after barrow of stuff has been taken to the skip and emptied, ready for the next one. Until it’s time for the skip to be taken away and replaced … Continue reading →

Happy birthday, Dad!

Posted on January 30, 2013 by Gary

Unlike Lizzie Bennett, Dad reckons he turned 28 today…which makes me a pretty amazing six year old. I normally ring Mum and Dad on a Tuesday but, due to a bit of a mass organising day yesterday (Mirinda’s impending Miami … Continue reading →

Food & The Future

Posted on September 29, 2012 by Gary

The Farnham Food Festival was held today. Apart from the many stalls of wonderful local produce and international offerings, possibly the best bit is the fact that Castle Street is closed to traffic. When I went into town, the stalls … Continue reading →
