COMMENTS FROM THE POTTING SHED

Mad Bush Farm Crew Thats okay about being busy, I'm always torn between actually writing a post or visiting people as I don't always have time for both. I also know how busy farm life can be in the summer.

salina The road out of the valley is very steep in places and winds its way between stone built houses clinging to the hillside.

Sara The countryside at this point of the walk is that of the Bronte sisters who wrote such books as Wuthering Heights, my next pictures will be of the moors around where they lived.

Red Clover If I give you two pictures everyday I might run out of pictures! Here its not too cold now but very wet, muddy and GREY.

The Weaver of Grass I am still pretty busy, I guess I must have learnt to make it look easy LOL! The cellar work was quite hard really and a bit pointless to my mind as all I was doing was moving the logs from one side of the cellar to the other but they want it like that so I have to do it.

Jeanette It was too hot inside for me, I worked up a right sweat. I don't know how you cope with those temps, I wouldn't mind your sunshine though.

I keep coming back to your blog to look at your photos of all that lush greenery on the Pennine Way! It is so cold, white and grey here. While winter has its own beauty, this bitter cold has me thinking of spring.

That's a great photo Bob. I concur with Heanette it does look a little worrying. Our temperature made it to 30c here on the farm which for New Zealand is seriously warm we have had higher here a couple of years a go. You have to break Ice on troughs I have to keep filling them up!

All the best
