And the weather is a bit of a roller coaster with ups and downs in temperature, wind and sun, interleaved with rain. One day you burn and roast in the sun, the other days it’s southerly with clouds and 10 deg.

He looks like a deer from the distance, he’s fluffy and friendly, but he’s a naughty escape artist who typically is to be found on the wrong side of the fence.

Spring came and went, Summer took over without much changing. It’s still raining every other day and the sun shines intermittently. But on the bright side that has made all the grass grow.

September came and marked the beginning of spring. Two days prior however it was the coldest night of the year with frost on the car windscreen.

The month is almost over and has been rather eventful. From rain to sunshine to torrential rain again and alpaca shearing in between.

This year marks the first time that it was not us adults doing the wreath but our daughter herself with only very little guidance.

Today, we made an attempt of getting the ducks out of the duck run and into the garden for some bug and snail control. They were not too keen to get out and needed convincing, some of them we simply had to literally throw out.

It’s so nice to get outside between rain break. The weather has been warming up over the the last days and we are getting 20 deg during the day.

We have been busy on various little projects to keep us busy. From cooking to exercising, watching some movies to projects outside.
