Spring is here

Finally Spring has Sprung here were we are !!!! All of a sudden I had to wear a t shirt and a cotton skirt because the temperature just soared to almost summer temperatures. Over here you never know though, we might be freezing again tomorrow. I have been a bit quiet on social media the last week mainly because I have had to work so hard to get all the things done for the Wool show in Pakenham organized by the Black n coloured sheep organization Victoria AND I have a CWA talk , chat and enablein Monbulk tomorrow. I sincerely hope I survive to see Monday because I am soooooo darn tired…. Oh well, we just got a letter in the mail today that our power is going to be out on Tuesday (this time it’s a planned outage..hahahaha) so I will definitely take it very very easy then…..famous last words I hear you say.

It has been a rollercoaster ride this year with a huge amount of shows and new adventures and so so many people being exptremely supportive of our fibre farm/ I thank you from the bottom of my heart ! I need a bit of a recharge of the batteries I feel to get ready for new adventures to come later in the year ! Oh so many !! and yes, finally getting that darn website going (again, famous last words. I am starting to feel like the boy who cried “Wolf!: after saying the website will be ready soon..after stating that fact since 2005…LOL)
