June 2019 in photos
Again, the order is a bit mashed but all the photos are from June, either way!

learing So, three years in. Wow. It was right at the very end of March 2016 that we completed on our purchase of Katrine Bank and now, three years in, there’s still lots going on and evolving. The very first entry on this series is worth a look through – you can access it here. […]
After diligently keeping to a single month in each post, there’s been a bit of a hiatus. Despite best intentions, life had other plans for my attention towards the end of last year and photos were top of the list. Likewise, not a huge amount of work happened on the house or the land. Other than […]
Wood sheds continue to be a big feature for this blog. October saw the consolidation of the two elm sheds into one (oh, the elm is such a lovely wood to burn – it’ll be a shame to see the end of it!) The initial consolidation and moving of the tin was done single-personed and later […]
…and the sun just kept on shining! We started to get a bit of rain to keep us going, but generally the incredible summer of 2018 continued. However…I rather failed on the taking photos front! We had a Swedish WWOOFer with us at the beginning of the month, Carin, who got lots done while she was […]

So, April, May & June 2018 were all posted on the same day, July 19th, a drizzly day in July which was celebrated as my first proper rainy day anywhere in WEEKS. And it also happened to be the day after I planted out some leek seedlings meaning I’m even more delighted at the rain. Anyways, it’s […]
March didn’t quite know what it was doing with itself. It was beginning to warm up but we had a colder start than previous years and so it took the daffodils considerably longer to emerge. I also spent a fair chunk of time away in Morecambe (and further afield) but there’s still progress to report… […]
January is a significant month. It’s two years since Chris and I first saw the house (and land!) It’s also two years since one of my aunts died very unexpectedly. January 2016 was a full-on month. And January 2018 was when I really started feeling like we were contributing – positively – to this place we call home. I’m getting a […]
Before I moved to Katrine Bank (and before I even met my current partner) I was beginning to explore different approaches to growing and came across the vegan organic approach. Ticked all my boxes and seemed like a sensible approach for me as a committed vegan. However, as the partner of a meat eater who really […]
