The oral history of our grandparents, a pile of books and Bush Tucker Man returns

And a veeery helpful list a of beautiful farm stays ready for your school holidays.

It’s been a slow old week here, I just can’t get firing, almost enough to make me run for the hills with this list of excellent farm stays tucked under my arm. Faire Magazine’s MixTape has been helping, as did a gorgeously surprising real-life letter from Meg Bignell (it arrived, no joke, as I was editing her contribution for the upcoming Daily Routines podcast giving me a big hug and a shove forward to ‘keep going, all will be ok’). It’s ok, all is really alright, I’m just having a whinge which I must stop doing here. I’m putting this week down to a non-productive, catch-up on life kinda week. Anyone else having one of those?
