Pigs in Mud

February 25, 2018chrissyb 15 Comments

I know you’ve all been hanging out for cute piggy pics, so here they are. I am in the process of writing a longer pig post, but it’s not quite coming together, so consider this a little something to keep… Continue Reading →

Bucketing Down

July 3, 2017chrissyb 2 Comments

Over the last few days we’ve seen an awful lot of this. Kitty-pop has been mighty displeased. After her gifts of mice (one dead, two still kicking) on three consecutive days, she thought the very least we could do was… Continue Reading →

June 19, 2017chrissyb 6 Comments

Goodness, another city jaunt so soon. We must surely have maxed out our metropolis quota for 2017. This trip was closer to home, and happily there were no further episodes of inadvertent public nakedness involved. We spent a few days in… Continue Reading →

Rain on the Mediterranean

January 9, 2016chrissyb 2 Comments

Sorry New Zealand, it seems I jinxed the weather this summer by planting a little Mediterranean garden corner. Who knew I had such contrary meteorological power? For the month before the rain came, this sad little north facing corner behind the pool… Continue Reading →

Rain Day

January 1, 2016chrissyb 5 Comments

Rain on New Years Day! I feel very happy sitting inside with my cup of tea watching those lovely droplets falling on the orange grove, irrigating the orchard and the paddocks, and filling up our water tank. The grass here has been drying out and… Continue Reading →
