There’s something about sitting in your own garden early on a Sunday morning when it’s very quiet, the sun has come up and the norwester hasn’t. I am thinking about beehives, the veges, what I’m going to do with all the peaches, apricots and plums that are growing and generally feeling content. It’s quite nice really.

We have started wine and spirits for Xmas so our kitchen is full of bubbling fermenters and all the containers and bottles that go with it. It looks, sounds and smells like a great science experiment. All we need now is a bunsen burner and some test tubes frothing away and we’d have a complete picture.

School has started to go into a weird mode where the students have finished the assessment but haven’t quite finished at school and the teachers all seem to have gone potty. It’s really strange and I am looking forward to a holiday.
