Goodbye winter

Goodbye winter ....welcome spring . or if you are in the northern hemisphere.. goodbye summer ....welcome autumn. Isn't it a fantastic earth that we live on ,aren't you glad that you don't live in Singapore or Brisbane !!!boring boring ,the only choices to be made are "which t-shirt will I wear today " !! The second sign of spring that I got today was going through the ice on the pond ,one leg only mind you ,the neighbours lad laughed his head off as he pulled me out .But the days are glorious .How do you like the new hat that Margaret and Raena bought home for me from Sarajevo ?I think that I might become a Greek Orthodox priest in my next life ![ha ha this one is enough for me]

Work and play

Great day today ,it was only on freezing point at first thing,pancakes for brunch with Tim and Colin from Scotland .We discovered a new game on ice for poor people who can't afford curling stones and then we set about clearing a track along the creek bank .hopefully we will finish it tomorrow ,All in all a great winters day ,including Pippa...

Boys on Ice

Here you are boys ,now you are world famous !!!!!

Bonfires and magicians

It's been a great few days recently ,WWOOFer Colin from Scotland has been here keeping me entertained with his card tricks and getting me to work outside and Halina ,Sarah and Philip have been down from Chch taking me for" walkies".It has been cold enough for the curlers to have a bonspiel on the Ida Burn ,that's always an amazing sight ,300 people all on the ice at the same time .Colin put on a performance for us yesterday ,he had to juggle fast before he froze up !,but it doesn't stop us drinking home brew.

Winter fun

Gosh it's a hard life in the country !!!

Morning Repeat pt 2

We get lots of news about the political world ,the crime world, the business world the entertainment and the sporting world ,but all we hear about the REAL world [and none of the others would exist without it ] is 7 seconds of birdsong !!!! how's that for prioritizing ???
