This Morning's View

It's actually been warm enough to eat breakfast outside...
Yippee! 

We just want to make the most of the sunshine - though do have a huge house clean to do today.
A clean that I really am not keen on, but Sime thinks we should continue with...  
And just because we're totally insane, we're going to meet a potentially new customer in a few minutes.

Linking up with Jane's View From My Window.

The perfect time to be here...
Blue skies, warm sunshine & just the sound of birds singing!

A gorgeous view (in my opinion) through our rather grubby dining room window!
Sime's finally hacking back the poor lilies.

Gloopy porridge for brekkie...

And a cuddly kitty loving the sunshine...


They both love us being outside with them...



We've got dandelions everywhere, which I'm hoping our lovely landlord won't mow down before we get a chance to pick them - he thinks he's helping us out by keeping the grass down & making it look nice for guests, but we want to make wine...


It's going to be a long day & we don't expect to be home until tonight...

Hope you're all having a warm & sunny week!

Love Kay (& Sime)

    I love that photo of your sitting area, I don't think I've seen that view before, what a lovely sunny place to sit.
    I'm making your nettle soup recipe tonight (and yes I will remember to take the bay leaf out LOL).

      It's nice, but gets a bit breezy most of the time - we've really missed sitting out...

      Hope you enjoy the soup - have a great weekend!

      Love K&S xx

      We've never made it, but have wanted to for years & promised ourselves that we'd make some this year, though Sime's leaning more towards dandelion beer instead... Syrup sounds a nice idea - need to check that out!

      Have a lovely weekend!

      Love Kay & Sime xx

Diet And Drugs

Some of you know about my fight with Graves Disease, an auto immune system disorder, which causes an overactive thyroid. Since I was diagnosed 7 years ago, I have made it my business to know everything I possibly could about the condition & this has probably saved my life. I have blood tests on a regular basis & in November last year, I was told that my T4 levels are normal & again in January the same.  My thyroid stimulating hormone was finally starting to work too, after 7 years of lying dormant, so I suggested I came off the anti thyroid drug & my GP's response was to continue for a while longer. A month ago, I rang my GP & suggested again that I come off the drug or at least halve it, as I was feeling so well  & was concerned about the drug pushing me into being under active. Again, she said to be patient & they would send for me when it's time for a blood test. I don't normally do as I'm told, but decided to stick with it a b...

Nettles

Our garden yesterday. Tall Nettles TALL nettles cover up, as they have done These many springs, the rusty harrow, the plough Long worn out, and the roller made of stone: Only the elm butt tops the nettles now. This corner of the farmyard I like most: As well as any bloom upon a flower I like the dust on the nettles, never lost Except to prove the sweetness of a shower. ~ Edward Thomas ~ Every time we venture out to pick nettles, Sime always goes on about this poem! Anyway, thought I'd share with you the article I've written for next month's Parish Magazine... Our hedgerows are coming alive with food aplenty, but hardly anyone really notices the nettles that surround us, they grow quietly while using their juices to produce a medicine that can bring health. Anaemia, arthritis, rickets, tuberculosis, respiratory diseases, colds, catarrh and lymphatic problems can all benefit from this wonderful wild and free super food. Nettles are rich in ca...

Getting Back To basics

We've had another very busy week, but we are very happy to be escaping for a few days. We decided that as it's our Silver Wedding Anniversary on Monday, we should do something a bit different... So we're going to be staying in a yurt on Bodmin Moor! It's going to be wonderful... No computer. No phone. No work. Just time to chill out, enjoy some moorland walks, eat, drink, be merry & have lots of fun!!! See you when we get back. Kay & Sime xx
