I flung my bra across..

the room like a frisbee!

‘Begone contraption of the devil!’

I cried as with a huge sigh of relief my bosoms floated free. 
The weather here in Wales has been 
laverbread hot, as hot as the inside of a volcano’s knickers.

Yesterday we trogged the coastal path, the humidity had us in it’s inhuman embrace.  This weather would kill old girls like me on their 73rd birthday given half the chance.  To add insult to injury the hills were alive with the sound of... Oh dear me no, not music but the rumble of muck spreaders weaving their magic, as well as their pong.  Humidity high, heat off the scale, and the air filled with minuscule atoms of cow shit.  A birthday to remember!

Can you see the tractor silhouetted against the skyline?


In the yurt, Ellie enjoying her birthday present, she was born two years ago in August, so I thought it a good idea for us to celebrate on the same day.
Sound like a plan?

  1. A good plan! Staying in a hurt looks a good idea, and they cope with any weather.

  3. Yes happy birthday to you both on your Yurt holiday. Don't let Ellie get anywhere near that manure, it is almost impossible to bathe away.

    1. We both enjoyed it, it was Ellie’s first time at the sea, at least that is what I think? Unless of course in her previous life she was treated to a day out at the seaside between all the horribleness that was metered out to her?

A year has gone by...

and the sourdough saga continues, nothing much changes, apart maybe my level of frustration at my tarnished bread making skills of a ferment...
