It's been so long

Almost a year has passed ! I had a bumper harvest last summer. I've made so many preserves and given so many gift baskets of fresh produce.

As Canberra got colder I have been spending my days warm and cozy by the fire, reading and making plans for my little food Forrest in Flynn.

Since the cold weather has settled in I have planted a small winter crop, snow peas, carrots, onions, cabbages, spinach, silver beet and broccoli.

I have been cooking and baking ( today a banana cake) and trying out some new recipes. I have made some fabulous pasta and yummy hearty chicken and vegetable soup.

I am so longing for the day our debts are paid off and I can retire to a self sufficient life somewhere on the south coast. I dream of a small parcel of land to build a sustainable home and go crazy with fruit, veg and some live stock.
