Hello, everyone. Yes, we’re still here. Sorry for worrying you all! I got the dreaded triple-lurgy – bronchitis, tonsillitis, and laryngitis. YUCK! Thankfully Harry sidestepped it so he could focus all his attention on keeping things running and lovingly nursing me back to health. He’s been a true angel and I’m now firing on all cylinders once again.
We’re making good progress on some big outdoor jobs. The extension to the storage shed has been a challenge but we’ve worked on it together and it’s nearly finished. Just another couple of fine days and we’ll be done.
The veggie patch is our next target. It’s tough to grow things here, the high winds destroying pretty much anything that peeks above the ground. So we’re planting some carrots, potatoes and onions as well as trying out a patch of pumpkin in the most protected spot. Harry has done all he can to prepare the soil and shore up the earth with wooden sleepers and rock walls for drainage given the relentless rainfall.
I can’t believe we passed the halfway mark on our adventure. Where did the time go? All too soon this adventure will be coming to an end which gives pause for thought….
Anyway, that’s a worry for another day, Harry’s calling me to get my arse into gear while there’s a brief spot of sunshine so I’ll sign off for now.
Lots of love from the arse end of the Earth!
No Going Back
