Happy New Year!

I know its been an age since I last tapped at the keys, life just seemed to get in the way but I’m ready to start again.

Well that said, I have a list as long as my arm of ideas to try. I want it to be an experimental time. Exploring possibilities.

Firstly, I have a plan to build a smoker, hopefully in the Spring. There are so many ideas of what could be smoked, it exciting.

Last year both our ancient old pear trees died. We have bought replacements, so it’s out with the old and in with the new. (The old will be use to fuel the wood-burner.)

A greenhouse to bring a greater variety of fruit and vegetables. When? as soon as we can. It means redesigning the garden a fair bit but that will be fun too.

OK, I know it’s not the finest piece of writing ever but it’s a start and I hope to fill you with enthusiasm to have a go too.

Happy New Year, one full of fun and happiness.
