One Thing Today

Today, I'm declaring the start of winter!

This morning, after making a pot of chocolate chilli, I walked up the frosty hill behind my house to explore the oak trees at the top to see if there were any leaves left on them...

Join me once again by my garden gate as the day wakes up.

This morning, I'm joined by some long-tailed sheep and a very friendly robin.

The chickens and the rest of the dawn chorus are chattier than me today, but it would lovely to have your company as I give Gloria and Louise their breakfast under a pink cloud-filled morning sky.

Today, you find me in my kitchen making some spicy chai after getting back from a walk in the woods.

On a morning that is colder than I first thought, I’m cleaning out the chicken coop to help me stay warm as I talk to you...

This morning I surprised myself by climbing over my gate and taking a walk up the hill to a spot I don't usually visit...

Join me for chickens, sheep and some noisy tea making as I muse a little about losing track of what the time is...

Join me in the rain as I let the chickens out and talk about how my gentle, early morning hibernatory routine has been unexpectedly made more peaceful by a stopped clock.

In the 1521st episode (and not the 1421st as I say in the podcast), you find by my gate enjoying watching the hillside wake up around me as I decide that this is a day for wearing crocheted socks and sitting by the fire...

After not feeling well enough to come out and let the chickens out yesterday. today I'm particularly enjoying my early morning visit to the garden.

Would you like to join me?
