About Me

My Photo
Name:
Location: Katoomba, NSW, Australia

here I am in a little cottage that evokes the energies of my ancestral lands - a cottage on the moors of Cornwall, or on the cliff tops of Ireland or Scotland. It has a hearth. I am a hedge witch {of sorts}. I wear upcycled clothes, patchouli oil and Redback boots. I am a gypsy; an eccentric and a mystic [I often live with a foot in two worlds]. I serve my guests, tea from an old silver teapot. I love Vervain, yarrow, chamomile & mint. Star watcher and Moon gazer. story cloth weaver. keeper of family dreams and wishes. good friend and creator of life. herbal tea drinker and potion maker.

Plan ahead and dream of all the beautiful things that life has to offer

housekeeping

woke up bright and early this morning..had my first cup of tea and unpacked my dishwasher. So many things not washed properly, so it was time to clean it out.... so I took the filters out. How on earth, do pieces of plastic, half toothpicks & other various bits and pieces make their way into the dishwasher? I ran a sink full of hot water and scrubbed each piece with a brush..rinsed them all and put it all back* hopefully in the right place.... I wiped all the rubbers and seals down..polished the front ... placed a cup full of bicarb soda in the bottom and now it is running through a cycle

the rest of the morning will be spent re-arranging and cleaning my lounge room in readiness for my new lounge ..then I am lighting a fire, taking a nap and reading some of *romancing the ordinary*

I am surprised you even have a dishwasher Ms Robyn - there is nothing vintage about them - lol! I have never had one, and don't miss it. OK, there is only two of us, but I have always washed the dishes by hand since I was a kid in the 50's and there were five of us in the family, so it's not as though I have not washed up after a crowd before. But I do have a microwave. I could live without that I guess, but I do love having one!

LMAO, Ms Robyn - I wondered if I would get a 'bite'! I like to tease now and then. We may be getting a dishwasher after all these years, when our kitchen is renovated (our house is 32 years old, and I love it the way it is, but the kitchen is starting to fall to pieces...). So I guess I will be joining the rest of you soon - look ma, no dishpan hands!!
