Good Morning Everyone,
   I have spent hours trying to get my last Rambling to post to Facebook so many that the post is out of date  so will try and tell you everything in this one.  I am so frustrated with it that I am not posting to Facebook anymore instead will give you my website details so that you can look it up if you want to.
  Since I last posted to you successfully I have been cleaning up the products list but still more to do.  If something has disappeared and you still need it just let me know and I can reinstate it or make it for you outside of ordering through the website.

  To help you with costs I have decide to give free postage to anyone whose order is $50 or more 
as long as it will fit in one of the prepaid packets or boxes but as a trade off there will be no discounts given anymore.  If your order is under $50 then it will be whatever postage is incurred.  Tell me what you think?  Of course there will be free delivery for the Grafton area once I start advertising down here.
   I have been buying new portions of ingredients so that I can keep stocks up as some of the soaps and cremes were getting low.  So far have replaced Goat and Camel Milk lotions,  Cool Foot Balm and there is a couple more to go.  In Soaps i have only just started so have done Pomegranate and a new one called Blueberry which has turned green no matter how much blue I put in so will call this on green Blueberries until I can get it to go blue.  I thought I had my Micas here with me but they must still be held hostage in Qld.  While ordering the fragrances I found a couple of summery ones that sounded nice so will do them as I can.
I am trying to stick to a routine as I have to get everything out and pack it away when I am finished as don't have a dedicated soaping area anymore.  Luckily I have 2 large storage cupboards on the end of the deck and downstairs(4 steps) in the carport that all the ingredients and spare containers go then I have soap in the wardrobe of the computer room and the linen cupboard in the hallway plus another storage cupboard at the end of the hall.  I spent days labelling everything so that I could find it when I needed it.
 
   We are no longer in lockdown for now so can get out and about but I think it is inevitable that it will be here before much longer.   we had our 2 jabs before coming down here 3 months ago and yes it was the AZ one but luckily we had no reactions. 
   Well I think I have covered everything for now so Take Care and Stay Safe
​Blessings 

  

Good Morning Everyone,
  Well we are still in full lockdown here on the North Coast of NSW.  You will recall I moved here back in June.  I don't mind in one way as it has given me time to catch up with unpacking and rehanging as well as I am now sorting out my filing cabinet.  Didn't have time before I moved as I had so much to pack and so much to get rid of that I just made it when the truck arrived to load  in fact was still packing up the kitchen and pantry.  I do mind that a lot of my soaping stuff is still trapped in QLD as Ivan's brother is not allowed to enter NSW so I am lucky that I have the moulds and I have been restocking those ingredients that I need now just so I can have some of the products that have all sold or are nearly there.

I have been working on the Website as well and will also do my Facebook Page over the next week then will have some specials and surprises for you so that you can stock up for Christmas.  I won't be doing Fairs or Festivals down here as it is just to hard for me to cope with them.  I am getting to old in other words as I will be 75 in a few weeks.
For those who live in Toowoomba you can still get my products at Darling Downs Handmade in the Wilsonton Shopping Centre opposite Cafe 63.

  I don't do much gardening these days as only have a strip at the front steps and down around the side.  I planted pansies and Poppies and they are starting to get a grow on and flower and I have pruned a couple of camelias as well as an azalea bush next I have to get into and prune back a bougainvillia as it is growing right up the wall next to the steps and it has big thorns on it.  Eventually when I sort out what I want to do may get an above ground water wise tub or 2 for some vegetables but want to just sit and watch how the weather is here first.

Mac has settled in and I think he loves soft green grass as every time I take him outside he has to scratch it with both sets of legs.   There are a few other little doggies here and he has finally decided that Kiri the little black Chihuahua across the road is ok as they rub noses every time they meet.  Mac is far to boisterous to let them play but eventually I am hoping he calms down enough to let them chase each other around.
Mac has had 2 of his turns since we have been here not real bad ones and they don't last long once I pick him up and calm him down but it is very worrying now that we know what is causing them  that is another reason to try and keep him calm as don't know what would happen if the discs in his neck herniate or slip right out.   Guess it would mean immediate urgent surgery.  Hopefully it won't happen.
Well that is enough rambling from me so take care everyone and look out for each other.

​Blessings
