I would like to say life has been pretty busy around here lately as an excuse for my blogging absence, but that wouldn't be the whole truth.</div>
Life has been busy but no more than normal, winter hibernation has also had a hand in things but I guess it is just a case of falling out of the habit. It is hard to come back to the blog after a long gap, strange as surely it would be harder to keep blogging week after week, finding the inspiration to write, but I think the habit of writing is what is most important.<br />
<br />

I have been up to blog worthy endeavours lately it is true, I have been ploughing my time into expanding my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/MadMadamMel" target="_blank">Etsy store</a> with naturally dyed sock yarn (can't wait to list those), and been posting more about that on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/madmadammel/" target="_blank">Instagram</a>.<br />
<br />
We are also getting ready to breed our own meat birds from our established flock rather than buying in hatching eggs this year, we are crossing our Indian Game hens with both our buff orpington and Welsummer cockerels to see which we prefer, and perhaps breeding some cream legbars after that to sell on.<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I'm also trying to get through some of my fabric stash making my own clothes, I've got so much filling up the old caravan earmarked for specific projects, and I need the space as I am turning said caravan into a dyeing studio for my work (think vintage style).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
These are just a few of the things I've been upto lately amongst others but that's enough to be going on with for today, hopefully I will now be able to get back into that writers habit.</div>

Summer is finally in full flow here in Orkney and with that comes the late flowering of our Elder trees which are covered in an abundance of blossom this year.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now I am on the hunt for ways to use them whilst I can, as the berries never set due to our high winds in September.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So follows my round-up of recipes from around Pinterest to give a try...</div>

Well after creating so much mess and awful smells in the kitchen the hubby thought it a great idea to commandeer the old caravan as a dyeing studio. Bye bye Hogwarts Potion lab, hello another room to make practical and pretty :)</div>

Well after a couple of months of not great health I finally got my butt in gear and got some handspun yarn listed in my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/madmadammel" target="_blank">Etsy store</a>, it is something I have been wanting to do for a few years now, and I had intended to a long while now, but other stuff got in the way such as the renovating, health and life in general. There is also the fear of failure with a new project to contend with too of course.</div>

So I have been spinning and dyeing like a crazy busy worker bee, it has been a dream of mine to spend my days spinning beautiful yarns and naturally dyeing them with plants and I finally get to do it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'm even thinking of turning the old caravan outside into a workshop. I'm fairly sure John will encourage this as he is already complaining about the horrid smells emanating from the mordant and dye bath cauldrons in the kitchen and working their way through the house !!</div>

I am working on building up a range roving of different colours using various plants to spin up multi-coloured handspun, but also spinning plain yarns in the interim to dye in solid colours and ombre, like the photo at the top of this blog post.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I forget how long it can take to spin and ply up a fairly fine yarn rather than an 'art yarn', 5 hours on average and that is before finishing and dyeing, but it is a joy to do.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'm choosing to mostly spin with sheep breeds from here on the Northern Isles, i.e North Ronaldsay and Shetland, but I also cant resist working with some of my other favourite fibres too like Merino, Blue Faced Leicester and silk.</div>

This week has in part been one of those where as a blogger we gloss over the shittier parts of smallholding which usually only shows the quainter aspects like raising baby chicks and pulling home-grown carrots. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now dont get me wrong there has been plenty of the nicer stuff like a light dusting of snow and calm sunny cold winter mornings, but I'm not gonna lie, there is plenty of crap mixed in with it, and I mean that literally.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For instance one of our cockerels doesn't like me so chicken chores have to be done with a shovel in one hand in case he attacks me (never bothers hubby though). We also have a duck separated at the moment as she has problems oiling her own feathers and gets soaked andcold in bad weather, add to that our 2 young Buff Orpington cockerels don't seem to realise she is a duck and keep... well umm... 'pouncing' on her!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
To top all this off we have had the drains backing up and a toilet that would not go down, resulting in fishing around in the septic tank, digging up sewage pipes and too much time spent with arms down toilets, wonderful. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Thankfully we did not need to remove the toilet, I was having an anxiety attack envisioning removing said toilet and ruining the bathroom floor and waste water to clean up everywhere in one of the few finished rooms in the house.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Of course now I can't get the scene out my head from Christmas Vacation with cousin Eddie emptying his chemical toilet into the drains, shouting to all who will listen </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"Shitter full !! "</div>

I was needing to make up a fresh batch of my everyday tea this week so thought I would quickly set up the camera and film a demo video, nothing polished but it shows just how easy creating your own blend can be.</div>

This is my usual daily health mix with no added extras for any symptoms or illnesses I may be having, so hope you enjoy and find useful :)</div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> We
are already at the end of October with only a couple of days left
till Halloween and in some ways I am saddened that we are not having
a party, perhaps next year as I think it would be fun to dress up and
decorate the cottage all scary :)</span><br />
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">But
what about other folks on the islands ?</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Well
best not to stay out too late on what they like to call up here
'Devilment Night' !!</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">A
couple of years ago mum and I travelled back late from a Samhain
gathering from the other end of the island. Thinking we had managed
to avoid the worst of the evenings tricksters we had almost arrived
back, only a couple of miles away, but as we turned onto the last
back road there it was......a fence of clingfilm stretched across the
road wrapped around the signposts on either side. Yes Devilment night
on Orkney is seen by many as a night to indulge in major mischief by
both the younguns and adults alike.</span></div>

<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Where
most tricks are fairly harmless if messy affairs, it is the brave
soul who has to venture out early on the morn of November 1<sup>st</sup>
to go to work, for there is a fair chance there will have been
someone who has manoeuvred huge round hay bales into the middle of
the road !! There are tales that have almost become urban myths, of
the picnic benches found on top of telephone boxes and boats found in
very odd places.</span></div>
<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">

<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">A
couple of years ago, wheelie bins from all over west mainland had
been 're-located' to a farm in Sandwick overnight. Now that would
have been a surprise the next morning to whomever came across all of
those!!</span></div>

<div class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So
for us two this year will be a fairly quiet affair, a small Samhain
ritual and a suitable meal for the pair of us, perhaps just relaxing
by candlelight or maybe a movie, my favourite Halloween movie is by
far <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B002CYIR34/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=6738&creativeASIN=B002CYIR34&linkCode=as2&tag=mamame-21" rel="nofollow">Trick 'r Treat </a><img alt="" border="0" src="http://ir-uk.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=mamame-21&l=as2&o=2&a=B002CYIR34" height="1" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" width="1" /> :)</span></span></div>

the wild places, keep your wits about you !!!</span></span></div>
