I wanted Photoblog to run down the page so I've reversed all the posts so it reads top-to-bottom.
I didn't live my day in reverse, although that might be quite interesting.
It's still raining and the cat's STILL asleep... =^.^=
in 2007, we made possibly the biggest decision of our lives - to give up our jobs and home in the UK and move to Ireland to fulfil our long-held dream of living a more sustainable life on a smallholding. Here is the story...

Photoblog 1
It's supposed to be a photographic representation of the day (except because it's spur-of-the-moment, the camera battery is flat. So is the spare.) So you're excused from viewing breakfast and the school run and we skip straight to my second cup of tea and making Steve's packed lunch...

Weather check - today will mostly be grey, cold, windy and rainy.


Ponies are hungry and making "OI where's our breakfast??" noises at me as I take photos
Here's your breakfast (in their favourite wheelbarrow)
And about time too !!!
Billy is filthy again...
A quick muck-out with their not-so-favourite wheelbarrow
And a bit of fresh bedding to roll around in
Enough wheelbarrow shots now !!

The wheelbarrows go back in the shed for the day
Hens are sulking inside because it's raining
Cat's having the first of many naps in the shed, proving why we have a mouse infestation.
Gap in the rain gives me the chance to nip out and see what's sprouting in the veg garden....
Bit of garlic - that only went in a week or so ago
And some rhubarb - obviously responding well to the horse manure then

I spend about an hour replying to emails and making phone calls. This would make boring photos so I didn't take any.
It's cold in here so decide to clean out and light the stove

Fetch in some more logs - the pile's getting low
Luckily there's another pile !!!
Cat's STILL asleep !!!!!
Collect the eggs before one of the hens stamps on them.

Put the dinner on to warm up... yesterday's soup (minestrone-esque)
While the soup's warming go and have a quick look through the choir pieces for Wednesday. The piano playing needs a lot more practice...
