There is an interesting article in the paper today about 'Miss Average' and now being ordinary is seen as failure. I think that is my problem.  I have been so busy planning ahead that I have forgotten to live for now.   All my plans are 'ifs' and 'whens' that may never happen.  Will I consider my life a failure if I don't do them all?

So rather than pining for the life I can't have - barring alottery win (we don't do the lottery so a win is unlikely!) I need to change the things I can about my life and just deal with the things I can't.

And as I will never move to the country and own a Smallholding ,H has decided we should call our 'garden' something and has chosen Feather - in deference to our first farmy type animals- Cottage - because they are in a little wendy house cottage - Farm    ..okay that is  a bit of a stretch for someone with 6 chickens and a few herbs growing...But I liked it and we will make a little sign to hang on the house.

I really must get a camera, the feathers are starting to grow back on all the hens now and they are looking very healthy..although the ungrateful buggers have stopped laying eggs now.  Ah well, who said the road to self-sufficentish-ism would be easy?....

Have a few spare hours to myself as GB has taken the FRT's to the park...so I had better use the time to tidy up a bit.

Catch you later...
