Saturday in the Making #5

Another thing decided during our recent Adventure was that, besides our Casa Kimberley Monday lunches, we would add a Saturday get together once a fortnight. This was proposed by The Princess who, as a worker with conventional hours, felt she should speak for herself and the others “constantly missing out”. Today was earmarked for a Saturday Get Together and took the form of a bakery lunch at Casa Kimberley.

So, Saturday in the Making start time was a little delayed but we still

✓ visited Farmlands top top up the feed supplies

✓ got another coat onto the second headboard-from -a-door

✓ stripped some more gluey, gluggy blue paint from the tea trolley

Hope your Saturday was spent in a way that made you happy.

This story began as a family's fumbling attempt to live The Good Life in suburbia; the awesome suburb of New Brighton, Christchurch, New Zealand to be exact. Our wonderful neighbours tolerated our hair brained schemes as yet more lawn was turned into garden and more animals were introduced until there was just no more room left and there was nothing else for it... we moved to the country. So, here we now are: an extended family of humans, cats, ducks, chickens, and goats trying to step as lightly as possible on this gorgeous planet while still enjoying the internet and good television. We've got 5 acres of land to play with, a whole new township to meet, and neighbours who do this sort of thing for a living...what could go wrong? You want a list?! This lifestyle of ours isn't always pretty; There's meteoric highs and the most cataclysmic of lows. Our intent is to share all these - our idiotic mistakes, glorious triumphs, outcomes both lucky and unlucky; and those thigh slapping, tear spurting, belly laughing moments that often follow all of the above - through this blog and our Facebook page www.facebook.com/unionhomestead. We reckon everyday is a school day and, if you're maybe pondering having a go at this lifestyle yourself, you will always be able to call up this blog and say with ultimate conviction, "At least we're not as bad as them."

  1. I’m always a day behind thanks to the date line between us… But tomorrow is our Saturday, and will be spent by different family members going to a birthday tea, going to the dentist, going to work, and dropping off a sheds worth of soft plastic at the monthly recycling event held at a nearby school. If we are lucky, there might be sun!
