Picking monster organic figs by the basket load makes many things better. Epic season.
Totally tickled to be featured in “Sustainability through the seasons”, a NZ Life and Leisure Special Edition that’s out now. Packed to the brim with excellent ideas for self-sufficiency and living well with less, it’s pretty perfectly timed with the days we find ourselves in.

Celebrating 2020 styles. 🥳
We celebrated our ten year wedding anniversary last night by going out for dinner and then on to the theatre. Out to “The Side Deck” for dinner. Then on to “The Lounge” for the theatre. And celebrating our first decade of marriage in a lockdown in a pandemic isn’t what I’d have imagined (who imagined this?!) but it was a celebration nonetheless - and a very memorable one too. Hats off to @nationaltheatre who are releasing a play every week to watch. We watched One Man, Two Guvnors - an adaptation of a 1743 Italian comedy, starring James Corden, and it was a bonafide joy. We pulled the couch in front of the projector and sat much closer than we could afford to sit and it was just wonderful. . There were also no queues at either the bar or the bathroom.
Low-tide unleashing of two near-labrador boys.
It’s a bit of a squash and a squeeze in the garden at the moment - we’ve got summer crops still hanging in, and lots of winter crops needing to get a good start before it gets too frosty. . Its days like these that I wish we had more land, but that would mean moving and I love this community, so it’s just about working with what we’ve got. . So today, I ripped out about half the tomatoes, to plant some leeks and broccoli and cauliflower. I’ll make some fried green tomatoes and perhaps a chutney with the bigger ones and lay the small ones out to ripen on the covered deck. . The colour is just astounding.
