I ran away from teaching to the country to grow veggies. There are also some chooks and a pair of troublesome goats who were so much trouble they had to go! My simple green life isn't always as simple or as green as I'd like...but I keep trying!

Birthday present

Firstly, thank you to 'Anonymous' for 
letting everyone in the blogosphere know it was 
my birthday yesterday.

Secondly, thank you for your kind birthday wishes.
They must have worked because
look what I got for my birthday!

 No, not a new van, or two.

...nor a lot electrical wiring.
 No, it wasn't a ladder....

...or a toolbox full of tools and swear words.

 And it certainly wasn't a couple of cheeky boys!

 It wasn't a second storey on the house...

IT WAS THE
SOLAR PANELS! 




They are not pretty...but they already had the old
meter running backwards today.
i.e. making more power than we were using.


It's elecrifyingly exciting.
