This WAS actually for Thursday April 6th

Well blow me if it isnt April already!

Now I've had one or two comments about my posts, or lack of, so thought i'd better write something, but what you have to remember is ....S...L...O...W L...I...F...E...

Anyway so whats been happening up at the farm well in a word..mulching!!

Quite what that means, I'll leave up to you!

Hooray Hooray, Hanami is here today!!

It's that time again! Now, what I love best about Hanami, even more than sitting around with all your favourite people and getting hammered, is it still never fails to make me go 'Wow, isn't it pretty!'

I think I was actually the least impressed the 1st time, but ever since then I have that moment.

Nothing's in bloom up at the house, so our local Hanami will probably be in a couple of weeks time, which is good, as it means that for anyone who wants to come, you can go to all the Hanami parties in Hiroshima you want, and just as it's all finished, you can come out here and do it all over again!! Marvellous!

Now I've been designing a new herb garden at home using some of the old rubbish that was lying around in the fields, so soon we'll have 'Parsely, sage, rosemary, and thyme' growing out of some old car tyres, and lemon balm, lemon grass and others sprouting from old pots and pans.
It should all look very nice, but it's actually there to mask the errm aroma that comes out of the septic tank.

And on that rather fragrant note I`ll say adieu.

Comments:
Hi JJ indeed i have been looking at Solar power and currently have a hot water heater fitted to the roof as do many houses in the countryside here.
If you are thinking about full time solar power then i recomend a book called the Solar Living source book from i think the Real Goods Supply company...i can check later on that.

im actually planning on going for a Hydro System as i have lots of freeflowing water and i dont get enough sun apart from in the summer to make solar viable

hope this helps
