Geelong Trip

1057 days ago

Hi, just a quick blog to say we went down to Geelong over the weekend to see friends and as usual we always stop in at our beloved cats footy ground Kardinia Park, and we were fortunate to see the boys in their 1st training session for the year, so our Jak was in delight as you can imagine, his dad too (even though he is a collingwood man) much to our distaste. We had a sneak look over in the new stadium as you can see in the training picture,(in the background) we were lucky enough to gain access up on the second top floor behind the glass great view...what a great stadium we went looking for the players walk as it is being relocated (my dad played so is in the walk) but unfortunately it is in the middle of relocation so we will have to go next time to see where my dads brick is. So for anyone even remotely interested in football next time you are in Geelong pop in it and have a look is a very accessible country style club worth the look. No rain in sight still, keep up ...

Coping With Drought....

1063 days ago

Hi everyone well another hot dry day here in Rushworth, hoping for a drop of rain (mm more than a drop would be exciting!) on the coming weekend heres hoping... As I watered this morning I am surprised to see how well my herbs are coping with the drought conditions, as with everything all plants only get 1 good drink a week (except for few tender things on twice a week). Now is the time to harvest your herbs and cut back to new growth to give them the autumn growth spurt, then you can reharvest before winter. Feed with an organic liquid feed like seasol or dynamic lifter to give them an extra boost not that these hardy performers need too much help.... Hope to start propagating again in the autumn depending on water supplies, otherwise will withhold until spring hope you are all getting some rain.... To view my other space and website go to mosaic-barn space and to Mosaic Barn website to update on all other happenings at our place. Catch you soon.......Carol

Friends Thoughts

1101 days ago

Hi Everyone, just got on to check my mail and things that you do on these computers, and as I receive feeds from subscribed spaces I was delighted to read from my friend 'sheepychic' bloggings about her trip to a retirement home where her sister S is a receptionist and knowing this lovely family over the past 10 years I feel very touched as usual from these girls and their kindness to the elderly and all others around them when in need, as I am having a very emotional time with one of our dear friends whom is 90 years and has just had a stroke and has lost her short term memory which is very sad and difficult for her . But I know while there are people like R & S around B life will always have those little unexpected moments of joy and love and really who cares if we forget it the nest day it's really just a new joy again tomorrow.... So love to R & S and to all other like minded people out there remember these elderly people have lived and shown us ...

A fun afternoon at Broughtonlea...

1101 days ago

This afternoon P, D and myself were treated to a great 'spin in' at the beautiful Broughtonlea assisted living nursing home. Assisted by my wonderful Sis, Sue, we set up the wheel and some yarns in the lovely Piano Lounge and as about 25 or so residents and staff looked on I spun up some really interesting yarn. The first thing I tried was some gorgeous black alpaca rovings spun through with some autumn shaded silk fibres. The residents were delighted to feel the fleece and fibres...and I plied back with some cute Indian gold and orange metallic threads. Next demo was some hand dyed purple and pink rovings with silver fibres tossed through under some stunning Indian Silver metallic threads. Sister Sue is Broughtonlea's much loved receptionist...I could easily see the affection of the residents and the esteem in which they held her. One resident made a comment to me: "Oh..she is full of so much love" and they all enjoyed watching her fuss about with the twins. If I was ...
