About Me

My photo
Brisbane, Australia
I came to Brisbane in January 2009 to be near my family. From teaching art to secondary school students I moved in to working with people with special needs, and now am making little friends for children - surprise, surprise! I have always loved creating things with my hands - pictures, clothes, jewellery, gardens, food, and now toys. We have recently sold our house in Victoria so are now seriously relocating = furniture sorting and disposing, deciding what's imperative to bring and what's not, then doing it. You don't need much and it's a relief to simplify, once again. As my mother says, "There aren't any pockets in a shroud." Cheers Penny May 2010

everything grows so fast up here




Well, the garden bed see in construction in my last post was planted out a week ago, and within days little green shoots began to appear, much to everyone's excitement. Our mornings begin with close inspections, lots of oohs and ahs, and big smiles, and for Charles and me, gasps of amazement when we see broad bean shoots coming up in a week. We have planted peas, beans and broad beans, tomatoes, rocket, parsley, beetroot, carrots and bok choy.
Remi is right into it, especially as he helped plant the seeds.
