One of my main goals for our growing season ahead is to become more organised so that we become really efficient and produce a better crop. I’ll be carefully planning my jobs for each month and as I love technology so much (comes with the day job!) I’ll be using it wherever I can to better organise myself.…
December Missions!

October Missions!
I’ve finally accepted that another summer has passed and am now embracing the charms of Autumn.
