Bits and Pieces from our lives lately...

Well life has been busy and interesting as we prepare for our move to a new environment we have had many everyday experiences that I know I will love to look back on and remember about in days to come.

So for a mostly visual and light on words look at what we have been doing, please continue browsing.

Above we have the younger children bringing around the old clothesline posts for fire wood. I loved how they were using the billy cart and how Trahaearn started to run over to be part of the action.

Making Iced Coffee! Yes even in Winter cause I couldn't wait till Summer to try this great recipe

Drying Apples in our dehydrator. They did not last long and oh how much better they tasted than the store bought ones.

Drying tomatoes too as we have a lot of dried tomatoes in salads and I wanted to try homemade ones

Bundling up for walks of an afternoon

Saxon carrying Arwen for a while

Vellvin helping our sweet dumpling after he was tired of walking

Bike riding in the wind.......an activity I still love

Putting our dried tomatoes in herbs and olive oil, just like the store bought ones

It is time for more mud kitchen play

And like a real kitchen there is always the clean up to contend with

Dressing up as a princess, part of daily life

A great Sunday lunch or brunch really_ fried tomato, mushroom, onion, Greek feta cheese, ham and eggs. Oh, this was a spectacular meal!

Sewing nighties for Vellvin and Arwen, as well as the unpicking as I made a ~~couple,~~ well a few mistakes. Including sewing one of Arwen's sleeves to Vellvin's nightie and not noticing until I tried to do Arwen's sleeves
