I said all right to that. And promised that we develop the bread recipe together, her and me.... Continue Reading →
I have probably mentioned it before, but I will do it again. I need some kind of a introductory sentence to this post 😉 The dream garden for us is a naturalistic and effortless garden, that encourages wildlife and preserves it. And we think there should be place to three elements in it: the kitchen garden,...

End of September was the time when we felt we wanted to turn the heating system of the house on.
