Storm time

 
Well, we had quite a bit of a storm in the night.
A tree from my neighbours garden over the road came down unfortunately. It landed right across the road, and blocked my drive.



I can say though that I am honestly pleased it came my way! Had it gone the other way, it would have landed on their bungalow :( 

I have no electric this morning, neither has my next door neighbour, but we've had offers of tea, car lifts (as my drive is blocked) and showers (hinting? Lol) which has made me realise what lovely neighbours I actually have :)

Hopefully the electric will be back on sometime today....I'm a bit worried about what I may lose in the freezer.....so when the electric does come on, I may have to do quite a bit of cooking so that it's not wasted.

I have quite a bit of fabric crocheting to do as I've put in an application for a stall at a Christmas fair on 30th November, and as yet have no stock.....
I've also tried to get a space in a local vintage warehouse, but alas, they told me that they have a waiting list of over 200 folks waiting for spaces to come free.... Even though they keep advertising their space....

Well, hopefully my next post will show some headway in my crafting, and the little vintage pieces I got at the vintage fair the other week.



Have a great week folks.

  6. Hi, just started following your blog via 'A new home in the country'.
    I've been through all your posts and thought you might like to know a frugal tip? Looking at your kolrabi ( a fine specimen!), did you know you can use the leaves with other greens as a veg, steamed,stir fried, also use the stalks in soups, coleslaw etc. The flavour doesn't over power any of the other ingredients either.
    looking forward to your next post which reminds me, I should post more often on my blog!
