Today the dehydrator is hosting a fridge pity party , cucumber ends , last of a punnet of cherry tomatoes half an onion , celery trimmings and a sad tiny red cabbage , ground down this will make veg powder , great as stock powder or a couple of big spoons in a pan of mash . Still struggling with motivation on the apple front ..lol. they are everywhere.
Managed to do myself a bit of an injury while chopping down branches , twisted my back and couldnt move for a couple of days and then dropped a big branch on sons head so thats a work in progress at the moment .
We have now been a year of the builders over the road , they have built mcmansions instead of the eco homes on the original plans , ghastly things twice the size of the original plans , theyve been reported umpteen times for the huge bonfires they built next to the old farm buildings the idea being to smoke out the bats living in there , they have suceeded and are now demolishing the building and squeezing in another house , the fires are now being built against a giant sycamore with a preservation order on , doutless it will die and they can squeeze another property on there, what was originally to be just 4 eco homes has turned into a housing estate . In the world of planning these days once the original plans are granted they go back after 6 months and get granted whatever they want to change. Dread to think who will move in to these monstrosities , 4 bedrooms with two retiree occupants is the norm . Why they cant put a bedroom tax on private properties I dont know
Mini mansions have popped up all over the place here too. Why can't they build two bedroom bungalows with a decent sized garden. I'd move in the minute it was ready. I twisted my back on Monday so feel your pain. It's apple and tomato Mountain time of year isn't it
