Here & Now






Loving // That I filled a wheelbarrow with passionfruit this afternoon. We've only got two vines, and what generous vines they are! I'm going to take some to the post office next week. Our little post office is a community hub, and people have been taking their excess fruit there to giveaway to others. I've enjoyed sugar bananas and citrus brought home from the post office before, and it makes me glad to be able to give back by leaving a large box of passionfruit there for others to help themselves to.

Eating // Roasted sweet potato, apple and rosemary soup (recipe from My Family Table)

Drinking // Warm cocoas at night

Feeling // Grateful for the weekend

Making // The final sleeve for my Clara Bow Sweater

Thinking // That a pumpkin patch is the best place for young bantams to live - they are having a ball!

Dreaming // Of milking Missy in a few weeks time

I thoroughly enjoyed this interview with Think Big Live Simply's Bec Shann over at She Makes Magic. I may have had to tune in four times (I didn't seem to have 40 minutes of undivided attention in one block) but I was inspired and loved every minute
And Trials and Tribulations of The Simple Life landed in my inbox last week, from Life of Clare

I'd love to know what's happening in your Here & Now?
Share below or on your own blog - leave a link to let me know!

Enjoy the rest of the weekend,

  1. What a lovely life you have :)
    Here in England the spring is starting, I created a bulb plant patch, bought a bayleaf plant today. With my fiancée we set up a sourdough starter and I am using it right now for the first time, just waiting for the dough to rise. It's exciting!

  2. Are those passionfruit in your barrow?? If they are, I am very jealous because I have not had one single flower or fruit off my passionfruit vine this season. Must find out why (I expect it will have something to do with the soil) and fix it so as to avoid any more passionfruit droughts!

    My here and now has involved getting ready for planting out my Autumn seedlings. I have been waiting and waiting for the daytime temperature to cool and it looks like this week will finally see a drop to days under 30 degrees so I can finally transfer my seedlings to my main veggie patch. Hooray! Some other things I've been up to are on my blog at http://ahopefulnature.blogspot.com.au/ Feel free to come and visit! Meg:)

    1. They certainly are passionfruit :-) And mostly from one vine...I'd offer passionfruit growing advice if I had any, but I'm afraid I don't give my vine very much TLC and it still produces wonderfully. I hope you find what to do with yours!

      Your garden sounds as though it's going to be lovely Meg! Happy planting x
