Weekend

Friday night, instead of leaving Hugo to make his own way home - we decided to pick him up from a circus event at Falmouth University.
We were all hungry & thought it would just take too long to cook anything by the time we got home, so we  popped into Falmouth for a bite to eat...
As we walked into the Gurkha restaurant, we discussed contacting the girls - but thought it would be too short notice...
Sime said wouldn't it be funny if they were already in there & guess what?

A lovely little face was peering from a behind a partition... It was Sal! 
 She thought she'd heard us talking, so what a great surprise... She & Ryan had just arrived themselves.
Sal got in touch with Rose & Asa, but they were just about to eat at home...

Sal & Ryan had a veggie thali...

Hugo & I had vegan bhuna...

And Sime had a vegan dhansak.

Lovely kidlets...

And lovely chap...

Yesterday, we had to work - the weather was amazing...

The field at the top of our lane, the clouds were dense & very dark over St Austell...

A rainbow in Portmellon Bay...

We could see the rain in the distance...

On our way home, the dark clouds looked like a storm was brewing...

Neighbours across from us decided to let off fireworks last night - they hadn't bothered to tell the rest of us.
The kitties were totally freaked out, they have never experienced them before. Flea ran off, but came back after another neighbour asked for the fireworks to stop & Boswinger became it's usual peaceful place.
They know we have cats, so could have given us a knock...

This morning, Flea enjoying the sunlight through the shutters...

Sime reading yesterday's news...

Reluctant to let go of my beautiful sunflowers...

Rose & Asa bought them for me when I was in hospital...

Lupin enjoying a sneaky doze on the table...

Beautiful boy...

Both boys love the woodburner... 

And we just love being at home...

Hope you're all having a peaceful weekend!

    There's nothing quite like home, family, food and furry friends. Bliss. Have a good week.

Diet And Drugs

Some of you know about my fight with Graves Disease, an auto immune system disorder, which causes an overactive thyroid. Since I was diagnosed 7 years ago, I have made it my business to know everything I possibly could about the condition & this has probably saved my life. I have blood tests on a regular basis & in November last year, I was told that my T4 levels are normal & again in January the same.  My thyroid stimulating hormone was finally starting to work too, after 7 years of lying dormant, so I suggested I came off the anti thyroid drug & my GP's response was to continue for a while longer. A month ago, I rang my GP & suggested again that I come off the drug or at least halve it, as I was feeling so well  & was concerned about the drug pushing me into being under active. Again, she said to be patient & they would send for me when it's time for a blood test. I don't normally do as I'm told, but decided to stick with it a b

Our Neighbours

The ladies next door have been giving birth in the field. Their babies are like any other babies - they sleep, they feed, they follow their mums everywhere, they run around, then fall asleep again.  These little beauties are completely unaware of their fate... But we know... And this is one thing which makes living here difficult. How can people eat other beings without feeling terrible?     It just doesn't make sense. Both the posters are from the  Cornwall Vegans  website. If you are in Cornwall or will be on Saturday 22nd April - do support this event! Perhaps you have been considering veganism - this  Vegan Starter Kit  will help you to get started and if you have any questions, need help or ideas for recipes - just ask, we are always happy to talk to folks who want to change their diet for the better. And in case you haven't seen this on iplayer - Here is  Simon Amstell's Carnage . Please, please think seriousl

Nettles

Our garden yesterday. Tall Nettles TALL nettles cover up, as they have done These many springs, the rusty harrow, the plough Long worn out, and the roller made of stone: Only the elm butt tops the nettles now. This corner of the farmyard I like most: As well as any bloom upon a flower I like the dust on the nettles, never lost Except to prove the sweetness of a shower. ~ Edward Thomas ~ Every time we venture out to pick nettles, Sime always goes on about this poem! Anyway, thought I'd share with you the article I've written for next month's Parish Magazine... Our hedgerows are coming alive with food aplenty, but hardly anyone really notices the nettles that surround us, they grow quietly while using their juices to produce a medicine that can bring health. Anaemia, arthritis, rickets, tuberculosis, respiratory diseases, colds, catarrh and lymphatic problems can all benefit from this wonderful wild and free super food. Nettles are rich in ca
