hello and good evening

Well, it seem that peace has descended for a while here. The littlest ones are bathed, milked and storied and now tucked up safe and warm in bed. Joe and the girls are outside in the workshop doing something secret. I haven't asked this time due to the upcoming event of around a months time. They've become cagey and secretive and cunning of late, and its leading us to think they must be making something very exciting indeed. It surprises me that I don't really have a lot to say.....it hasn't been a busy day today. I've repotted some houseplants, made a cherry cake and made a dolly for Jaya's Yule stocking. I'm about to settle down and carry on with some dollies for the lovely Spica (Em) of the Green Parent Forum, which is both my solace and frequent hidey-hole when I need reassurance.

I'll stick a few photos onto this post and I think hold off until I have something to say! They are a few of my children, Jaya today being a diver, and our new land, bought recently at auction, and a glowing beacon of light and hope for us all!
