Hello, I am Fairy and welcome to my blog. I have had a couple of short-lived attempts at blogging previously but this time I decided that I needed to be true to myself. I write of things that I am passionate about. These include being organised, cooking from scratch, sewing and my vegetable garden. Our home, “The Castle” is a small rural acreage near Maleny, Australia.
I read other blogs which are entirely devoted to cooking or sewing. Some are only about organisation or decluttering and yet others espouse the minimalist lifestyle. There are gardening blogs. Then there are blogs which focus on frugality, saving money and paying off debt. Finally, you can read blogs about reducing your carbon footprint by considering what you buy and minimising waste.
My blog is all of these and more. I enjoy writing it and hope you find it interesting and informative to read. I love to read your comments so please join in.
Characters you will ‘meet’ in the course of reading my blog include my husband (known as The Duke). We share our lives with our Border Collie (Psycho Dog) who has some psychological issues from his traumatic life prior to being rescued and being much-loved at ‘The Castle’ as well as Mr K (short for Kitty) who resides with us while his owner is overseas for a couple of years. We also have chickens which vary in number.
Then there are others who will receive mention from time to time. Miss O and Izz are our 2 grand-daughters and our daughter, Belle, live in Brisbane, about an hour away. Missy, our younger daughter is in the same city.
You can email me directly if you wish. gandy79atgmaildotcom Just use symbols instead of the bolded type. I will endeavour to answer you promptly.
great to meet you and your loverly family today …and thanks again for the lemons …x
Lovely to meet you too. Please drop by and read my blog to find out what is happening in my life.
Hi Fairy, I got your link from SS. I live down the hill in Mooloolah Valley. I am a mother of 2 and happily married, run my business from home to best suit my family commitments (no more commuting to Brisbane like I used to prior to kids). I am so interested to read blogs about “time management” as it’s a big thing for me working from home in between taking kids to school, working odd hours early morning/late nights etc. DH and I so want to get our veggie patch up and growing – had water/drainage issues here that we’ve put a lot of resources into the last 6 months, so looks like we’ve got that sorted – now time to work on our gardens. We have 4 chooks that are brilliant layers, so always heaps of eggs. Love to hear if you have any good egg recipes. Anyhow, I’d best get back to work. Love your work!
Hi Ange
Thank you for your kind words. While it is lovely to hear from people all over the world there is a special connection to those who live nearby.
I’m interested to here you’re on SS, which I think is the ‘same’ SS I get monthly newsletters from (but I haven’t signed up for their vault). Funny the different ways life intersects
