On the move

Our plum and peach trees at Mt Victoria are fruiting at the moment and it was fantastic to find that the plums were soft and sweet and very edible. I think this is the first year this has happened. Usually the birds get them then they fall on the ground while still hard.


 The peaches are still hard but I am hopeful that they will soften up too so we can try them.


Maybe next year I will have enough to fill up a few of my many Vacola bottles!

We've had lots of visitors lately.  We see them all the time on the road when we go into the village. Driving along our road you need to be very careful as you never know what is going to hop, slither or fly out of the undergrowth.


Our big move is about to happen so my next post will be from our new permanent abode at Mt Vic. The next chapter is about to begin. Heading off into the unknown is always a bit scary but it will be an adventure. I'm looking forward to setting up my new sewing room and getting everything sorted out and organised. Then we can start on the yard and gardens and that will keep us busy for ages, and ages, and ages...........

  1. It's nice the birds are letting you have some plums, I hope they're generous with the peaches too. All the very best with the big move, and have fun settling in. You're not wrong about gardens keeping you busy for ages and ages... they seem to grow faster than is possible to keep up.

    Hope to still see you once a month and enjoy the country life.
    How's the new little man going.
