Letters from G and L... part 2.

Sorry for falling off the face of the earth there for a couple of days. Gryph's down, and what with catching up, showing him the place, discussing all the things we can do... and setting up our computer.... well, our time has just seemed to slip away.

Gryph's out in the garden at the moment. We're going to sort out the water supply for the vege garden today. We're using one of the big 1000 litre plastic tanks and......

Oh no, I can't get carried away. I have to go back out and give him a hand later. He's quite alright by himself at the mo, but I promised that I would keep this short. I just want to put in these updates from G and L. There will be more photos to check out... count on that... and Gryph will start blogging again soon as well. (God, it's good to see him again). :o) He'll just have to get out of play mode for a bit first.

Anyway, this is the reply that L sent in regard to the questions I asked last time. And I have received another update since that I'll post as well.


THE WALK SO FAR... part II

Hi Phoenix.

Hope you start to feel better soon. It is a long time to be seperated from the people you love and yes I do not think it would be easy to be seperated from your own children.

Now the mower. It has not been started for a very long time and when it was it was extremely difficult. No we do not have a whipper snipper. The snake is a red belly black and so a venomous one. We have decided to allow it to stay as they are also called the farmers friend. They keep the brown snakes away. (they eat the babies of the brown snake). A red bellied black is better than a brown snake. It has a variety of hiding places in the yard. I would tell the girls to leave it alone and it will not bother you. Flower garden (yes where we had the outdoor setting and bbq area). I was going to do a scented garden there somewhere. The caravan will stay where it is at the present time as we like it to be out of sight.

Lovely to see my babies once again and good to hear Beannie and Jack are getting along famously. She does the same with Jasmine our dog. I do miss them I have to say but I am not worried about them.

Will catch up with another story next week.
Lots of love from L and G.

Coolies.

Gryph's going to have a look at the mower and see if he can magic something together. I'd really like to get some of the long grass down around the house, at least. We'll probably clean up some of the stuff out the side too and organise everything in a slightly more compact area. Besides, if the snake's going to stay it's better to have a smaller area for him to live in, so that you have a fairly good idea of where it's going to be. I don't imagine that we should really have any problems with the snake though. So far I haven't seen any sign of it, not even tracks. I imagine that because it's been cooling off lately, it's likely that the snake's gone into hibernation. And the kids know quite a bit about snakes, so they know not to go near it if they see it. I WAS imagining a carpet snake or tree snake though.

We'll start the scented garden soon too. Probably the vege garden first, but we have some ideas about putting some flowers and herbs in that bbq area. We'll feed water to it from the kitchen grey water. If you have any preferences for herbs, etc, let me know and we'll see what we can find. Big Sis has already said that we can take some cuttings, etc from her garden. (Photos of Big Sis' garden coming up too)

K. Have fun
Phoenix.
