Usually I bake everything from scratch, using as many organic ingredients as possible, but a few days back I was given the gift of a packet of muffin mix […]

He dug out brocoli plants, cleared […]

OOOooh! We’ve had great fun, schools been good, yes, but our passion at the moment is our land and those chickens!
We’re finally making progress on our journey to self sufficiency. Not a huge amount you may think, but for me it seems miraculous. We’ve had this dream for so long, and to finally get into […]

We brought our chickens home last Friday afternoon, after spending the morning converting a doghouse into a chicken coop. Things went well, and we got 3 eggs the next morning! Well they’ve been laying like the clappers ever since!We get either 2 or 3 eggs per day, which for me is brilliant! They are […]

Okay so not so typical. It started off bad, so yuck. I waddled downstairs grunting at all and sundry. Went to turn on the coffee machine, filled the one part with water, and then instead of putting the coffee into the filter cup thingy… I threw it into the water holder thingy.

Totally weird! Tree huggers! Paranoid! These are the comments that we’ve heard mentioned about us as a family. There are also many positive things from people who think the same as us, …
