What’s a Yabbie? 10 things to know

What’s a Yabbie? 10 things to know

How many of you have been wondering just that? What exactly is a yabbie? There must be a few of you! The reason I wanted to find out is because ’tis the season a bunch of bonkers celebrities head down under to face bizarre and hilarious challenges involving all sorts of weird and wonderful Australian critters. […]

How do you explain frost?

How do you explain frost?

Winter is well on its way over here, bringing with it much beauty and interesting natural occurrences. First of these to appear and have to explain to my inquisitive three-year old has been the frost on the car the last two days. Hmmm – ‘’it’s ice because it’s gotten so cold outside and that’s why […]

Learn from nature: how behaving like an animal could improve your health!

Learn from nature: how behaving like an animal could improve your health!

Ever seen an overweight cheetah? Or a fat gorilla? How about a tubby tortoise? Thought not. Animals out in the wild generally tend to be lean, mean, powerfully built for survival, machines. What’s their secret? Weight-lifting with correct technique, boot camps and contorting themselves on machines at the gym? Not quite! Out in the wild, exercise happens naturally. Natural selection ensures that the strongest […]

Earwigs

Earwigs

Like slugs and granny – greys or woodlice, earwigs are creatures that make me shudder a bit. Even researching for this gave me the creeps!  They are pretty scary looking but apparently the urban legend that they are so-called because they burrow into people’s ears, lay eggs and chew through to their brains, causing insanity and excruciating pain is NOT […]

How do you know if eggs are still good to use?

How do you know if eggs are still good to use?

It’s been a manic couple of weeks in our household, resulting in very unimaginative, what’s in the cupboard today, mix-it-all up meals. Today, there were some eggs lurking in the cupboard so omelettes (a Brooke family staple for many years!) were the obvious, quick & easy fix but I really wasn’t sure if they were ok to use or […]

  Surf’s up bro!! This weekend is the last session for our first 8 surfers and fair play, they have been incredibly awesome! Not to mention the committed and supportive parents! The weather on at least two of these Sundays has been pretty miserable to say the least but they all still arrived, smiling, cheerful and […]

Dandelions – weed or not?

Dandelions – weed or not?

Dandelions  –  Taraxacum Weeds, to me, have always been plants that, for whatever reason, I don’t want in my garden. This could include rampant ground covers like For-get-me-nots (myosotis) or Carpet-of-Snow (alyssum) as well as things like Dandelions. All the individual ‘petals’ on a dandelion head are actually florets, they each then go to seed,  reproduce […]

How to make a Bug House. And why?

How to make a Bug House. And why?

Last week there was a bit of cabin fever going on in our house. Brooke and I HAD to get out  and about. As baby was sleeping, we couldn’t go far so we decided to go out in our garden and ‘look for nature’. We found moss growing on the path, lots of daddy – long- legs, a […]

Dogs – who is the owner of who?

Dogs – who is the owner of who?

      Each time I go to visit my baby girl, Bronwen and her family, I drive through a little ‘village’ – Pontrhydyfen – famous, actually, as being the birthplace of Richard Burton, amongst others. Yesterday, I was again driving through this village and saw, as I often do, three Basset Hounds out for one […]
