Le 4 juillet 2022 par la dame aux ânesdans In English2 commentaires

I am 7 years old and I am in love with Bernard. It is 5.30 p.m., Mrs. Valmary, our teacher, has left the room to accompany the class to the school gate where parents are waiting for their children. There are 5 of us sitting behind our desks. We've been ordered to sit quietly. We …

Picture this. Today is Thursday morning, June 16th, and all is good in the box by the window. But let’s go back to Sunday, four days ago. That’s when I say to Geoff over dinner: tomorrow is hatching day. We have been turning the eggs 4 to 5 times/day for the last 20 days. I …

No Solo this morning!  Arriving at the shed I see the 2 little ones going around in circles in the chicken coop and calling out, but no Solo?  I get behind the coop and open the wooden door to their nest…no Solo.  I walk around the fence, not a feather, not a hole or a …

 Spring here is bursting with colours and exuberance and glee. The rains and the heat have done a good job, we have plenty of work. Everything breathes abundance! The vegetable garden is almost ready, we are working hard on it. The seedlings have been successful and we have a surplus of everything: tomatoes, peppers, aubergines, …

A conversation with Nick Last night, long time overdue about his life and ours. Sharing about the 3 guineas who got eaten by a fox after their refusal to get back into their pen one evening. I had made the mistake of leaving the coops open after feeding them all when the cockerel was still …

New year, new promises, new project?

Le 20 janvier 2022 par la dame aux ânesdans In EnglishLaisser un commentaire

"It's your year," said Geoff. The restoration of the barn has begun: An ambitious project given the size of the building. Last June, I declared myself retired to be able to devote myself to it. In view of the current national madness, letting myself be carried by a big and exiting project feels like wisdom…. …

What will tomorrow bring?

Le 26 octobre 202126 octobre 2021 par la dame aux ânesdans In English1 commentaire

Today was the day the guineas were to jump the fence and go exploring the neighbourhood. Last week I took a chance in opening their pen in the morning not knowing if they would ever come back to roost. To my delight they have been back every evening. But this morning as I was leaving …

Where are we heading?

Le 30 juillet 2021 par la dame aux ânesdans In EnglishLaisser un commentaire

10 years ago we planted the orchard. Where there was a field of white clay on the side of the hill facing south and overlooking the lake, and where the ground was at its deepest amongst the rocks, we put apple and pear and apricot and cherry and walnut and almond and plum and kaki …
