Leafblogotanicals: May 2009
http://leafblogotanicals.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Thoughts, recipes and musings on life in a country cottage. Thursday, 28 May 2009. It's been sometime since I last posted - and goodness how a few things have changed on Blogger! Seems I have to spend a bit of time re-learning how to load images etc! These photos of some flowers in my garden are to say Thank You. For all the wonderfully kind comments I have received since my last post (which I've deleted.). This next flower is commonly known as Bleeding Heart but more correctly as a Dicentra. Dreaming of...

Leafblogotanicals: Simple things...
http://leafblogotanicals.blogspot.com/2009/06/simple-things.html
Thoughts, recipes and musings on life in a country cottage. Saturday, 13 June 2009. I'm late, late for this post - I said I'd post this yesterday but I didn't reckon with 'Fridays' and all that Friday sometimes brings with it. So my apologies to Christina of the beautiful. And her celebration of the simple, everyday things in our lives. Sunshine on my face. My dogs the scent of honeysuckle in the early morning light. I wish you a peaceful weekend in the company of all you love. Vxx. 13 June 2009 at 14:58.

http://leafblogotanicals.blogspot.com/2009/06/its-raining-its-pouring.html
Thoughts, recipes and musings on life in a country cottage. Thursday, 11 June 2009. It's raining, it's pouring. For nearly a week now, we've had rain, rain and more of the jolly stuff. I know the ground was far too dry and the farmers were beginning to be a little depressed but I didn't think we needed quite this much rain. Thunder storms and lightning. Tropical rain. Deluging. Flooding. You name it, and it's doing it! Here she is again, but in close up. And once more, even closer. Castle. The latter...

Leafblogotanicals: Sverige nationaldag
http://leafblogotanicals.blogspot.com/2009/06/sverige-nationaldag.html
Thoughts, recipes and musings on life in a country cottage. Saturday, 6 June 2009. And just as you were getting over the party from yesterday's celebrations for Danish National Day, they hit you with. Oh no; another party! Here are a few photos from our last trip to Sweden - we travelled to the island of Orust to visit the Hallberg Rassy yard during their Open Weekend. BIG mistake! Here's another view across the sound to Orust - how lovely it all was. I guess that you can see from the last couple of post...

Leafblogotanicals: February 2009
http://leafblogotanicals.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Thoughts, recipes and musings on life in a country cottage. Friday, 20 February 2009. I can't say that I am normally too keen on goats. They seem to have a 'malevolent' eye in most cases and are smelly. rankly smelly. However, one lives and one learns. I should state that the smelly problem does not seem to arise with goats cheese - in fact, the smellier the better. Strange person that I am! As a way of paying for the purchase of the young and associated costs of feeding and raising them. However, they h...

Leafblogotanicals: February 2011
http://leafblogotanicals.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Thoughts, recipes and musings on life in a country cottage. Saturday, 5 February 2011. It 'feels' like an age since I took a day off from work. but of course it is not as bad as that. honest! Over here in England, we are enjoying gale force winds - I hasten to add that these winds are nothing remotely like the force poor folk in Queensland, Australia have recently had to battle through. And after all those horrific floods too. They make me laugh. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Welcome to my blog! Midlife, M...

Leafblogotanicals: January 2009
http://leafblogotanicals.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Thoughts, recipes and musings on life in a country cottage. Friday, 23 January 2009. Here is my latest cyclamen, photographed today in my kitchen. It was raining at the time I took these photos and then just after midday the rain turned to snow - those big fluffy flakes of snow that always remind me of Peanut cartoons when Linus and Snoopy would try to catch the flakes on their tongues. So evocative were those cartoons that I occasionally try to do the same thing myself! Wednesday, 21 January 2009. I lon...

http://leafblogotanicals.blogspot.com/2009/06/new-hens.html
Thoughts, recipes and musings on life in a country cottage. Wednesday, 10 June 2009. It seems like an age ago that we collected our 'new' rescue hens. At the time, I hadn't even thought of names for all of them, so I asked for suggestions from you. and I'm pleased to say that the two 'nameless' ones now have names. Gretchen and Miss Marple are the lucky ones (the other two already had names of Betty and Ellen). From Hens clematis and pear trees. This photo above shows you that they were still in quite po...
