Yes, yes, I know it's the middle of February, and here I am writing about November. I'm not entirely sure what happened. We were sharing a laptop for a while, which made sorting out photos much less convenient, and then it was Christmas, and now here we are. Anyway, I shall attempt to catch up with myself, and then endeavour to post more regularly. We'll see how well that goes. November was an uneventful one on the homestead. I did get some more scything done, and had a bit of a tidy up under the bathroom sink (I do have pictures of that, but you don't need to see them). The most exciting thing was that we went to Berlin! Just for three nights, to stay with friends, but it was our first trip abroad in six years (since we went to Berlin for three nights to stay with the same friends... Clearly we are not very adventurous...). Looking at my photos, December seemed to be full of cakes and snow. We had a few small flurries, and then a bit of a larger dumping. I spent a lot of time sitting in cafes, including one memorable day with my sister when we were supposed to be doing an all-day race, but decided at 5am (with storms forecast) that we really didn't want to. I also met some friends for an evening of crafting under a giant Christmas tree in the foyer of a grand hotel. There was a bit of crafting at home too, as I started making Peter yet another new hat (which I've still not finished). Finally I finished work (it felt late this year), and settled in to do some plotting and scheming for the new year. A bit of a whistlestop tour, but there we are. Not much gardening, nothing in the way of DIY, but a good bit of cosiness and plenty of cafes. Not a bad couple of months.

Hello!Sit down and make yourself comfortable. I'm Jenni, and I write here about our new foray into country living, which includes growing food, knitting, baking, wandering around the fields, and seeing which local cafe serves the best cake. Categories
