Exploring our bush

We spent the last few years getting rid of blackberries and privets on the property and also along the bush and it’s starting to show signs of success.

Since the weather was great, we decided to have a stroll down into the valley and into the bush – you don’t want to go there when it’s too wet. We found a nice spot in the gully for a picnic and had a go at other privets and blackberries. Definitely need to do more work on that over summer. Most of the time you can hardly walk in the gully because of all the water flowing in there.

I took a couple of nice pictures of ferns – they are so awesome in spring when they grow and unfold – or rather unroll!

Spring has arrived – with its usual mixed bag weather.

“If you don’t like the weather, just wait 5 minutes.” Spring came with beautiful warm and sunny days, storm, hail, rain and sunshine in between. It was cold and a few hours later warm again and vice versa.

Winter done and dusted

There was nothing extraordinary to write about this winter, really. It’s not been too wet and not too dry, neither too cold or too warm. We had a few frosty nights and a few pretty rainy days but all in all it was reasonably warm and okay from a mud perspective.
