All in all a great evening of family fun … and the winner … hands down ‘Reese’s Pieces’. Yum 😋.
We thought it might be fun to try some international snacks. After a quick discussion, we decided to go for America and Japan … definitely an interesting experience. Some of the snacks were really good, but others a bit of a shock … watch out for ‘Flamin Hot Cheetos’, you’ll need milk … 😅

We’ve been dodging the rain for weeks now … so give us one dry day and it’s definitely time to get on with some of those outdoor repairs.
Our shed has fared really well, twenty years of all the weather Scotland can throw at it and it’s still standing. It just needs a little TLC … namely replacing some of the onduline along the ridge of the roof. Not a fun job, but definitely essential, especially in our climate. Hopefully we can finish today, as we’re forecasted more rain tomorrow. Fingers crossed …🤞😅 #scotland #homesteading #homestead #roof #repair #diy #shed #countrylife #countryliving #selfsufficientliving #selfsufficient #project #projects #rainy #summer Summer is in full swing, and the garden is full of life. Soaking up all the butterfly moments … 😊 🦋
#butterfly #butterflies #summer #scotland #homestead #garden #nature #wildlife #insects #countryside #countrylife #countryliving We decided to have a go at growing broad beans in the Polycrub. So far so good, and their flowers make a pretty addition to the garden … 😊
#homesteading #scotland #summer #garden Well, we finally got around to planting our asparagus bed this year. It’s been such a joy to watch it grow, it makes me smile every time I pop out to the Polycrub. One of the hardest things has been to resist the urge to pick it this year … from what I’ve researched, it’s best to leave it for a couple of years before harvesting. I’m being strong, but the temptation is real. 😬
Oh well … think I’m going to opt for a quiet Sunday afternoon and pull out some knitting. Hope you’re having a smashing weekend wherever you are … 👋 #garden #gardening #asparagus #vegetables #growyourown #growyourownfood #healthy #food #summer #homesteading #homestead #smallholding #countrylife #countryliving #rural #rurallife #happiness #peace #polycrub #scotland #outdoors #lifestyle #family #life #adventure #plant #plants #homesteadkitchen #june #greenhouse I love this time of year in the Highlands, it never gets completely dark. Our lighter evenings are such a blessing, and I really look forward to them … just sitting outside in the absolute quiet and watching the sky, is so peaceful …
It’s just gone midnight, here’s a quick peek of my view tonight … so pretty. 😌 #scotland #night #sky #midnight #nightsky #landscape #seasons #nature #outdoors #lifestyle #peaceful #peace #quiet #calm #dark #countryside #view #homestead #homesteading #rural #rurallife #smallholding #happiness #clouds #homesweethome #life #home #grateful #june #daylight Needing a light lunch, I popped out to the greenhouse to check on my radishes. After a quick look, I decided to pick some of them now and use the tender leaves in my salad. But I think I’ll wait for the others to develop a bit more, before harvesting the actual radish. Yummy and so versatile, I love that you can use the whole plant …
My kids love them too, as they grow so fast. You don’t have to wait to long to see results, harvest and then eat. Time for lunch I think … 😋🌱👍 #summer #harvest #healthyfood #food #salad #lunch #homesteading #homesteadkitchen #homestead #garden #gardening #greenhouse #radish #yummy #countrylife #countryliving #rural #rurallife #happiness #simpleliving #growyourown #outdoors #lifestyle #scotland #home #life #plants #fresh #green #plant |
