Days off in Pictures

Time Off

I thought I would share out time off the paid job in pictures rather than words.  There would be a lot of both!  I had 2 weeks off and Steven the one.  It was Summer holidays and the kids were off school.

I finally for round to plaiting the garlic.

The pigs were enjoying their last days on the smallholding.  They were booked in the abattoir for the end of August.

Grace and I spent some lovely time together.

With Rodney

and Buster too.

Before his holidays started, Steven was busy working on evenings creating the interior for the new store room.

 

We purchased scaffolding boards from the Dad of a friend.  They created the tops of the workbenches.

 

A dusty job.

He varnished the tops with a tin we grabbed from Wilko before it closed down.  

I started bringing the jars in from the garage where we were temporarily storing them.

The poor bloke then went on to fix the fence!

This photo looks like a mistake but it was the day we were on the edge of a cloud.  It rained on the right but not on the left.

Beautiful mornings

The heat brough Lydia out in hives, possible bites but she soon recovered.

I started my holidays in the shed with Rodney, getting some winter seeds in to fill up the pantry.

 

And collecting harvests that are ready now.

Before sitting down to a proper coffee.  Lovely.

Come back tomorrow for more :)
