Well….Christmas and New Year is done and dusted.
Landcare NSW EDH: Day 12 – Grateful for Roller Skates and Crash Helmets
In today’s blog I want to share a few Christmas pics that really are a reflection of the 1980s and my lack of care for what I looked like obviously. It is nice to think about those days of being protected and not caring if you were wearing brown sneakers with a blue nighty and a yellow crash helmet.
Landcare EDH Blog: Day 11 – My Strategic Skills were learnt on Roller-Skates and at the Card Table
With Landcare and in other roles that I have had, strategies for approaching situations or projects are important. It is important to recognise that using strategies is not being manipulative or cunning, it is using a technique or process that will move something forward with the best possible outcome.

LANDCARE NSW EDH – DAY 9: ERNIE & BERT….& FRIEDA?
We left Leeton in 1989, but I can’t leave without telling you about my neighbours. When we were young, the family on one side consisted of grandparents, mum and dad and teenage son. The grandmother had shoulder length, steel grey hair with big curls. She always seemed cranky to a little person, but never really worried me much. The grandfather I didn’t see much of, but just remember him as a nice man. Continue reading

LANDCARE NSW EDH – DAY 6 BLOG….SKIRTS AND GUMBOOTS
If you missed the milking, you got breakfast ready with Nan and then fed the chooks. Now when I say chooks….I mean about four pens of chooks. These chooks were a special blend of breeding that had been achieved over a generation of strategic management and usually involved some roosters with a strong game line for just an extra challenge for an unsuspecting young person who was helping collect the eggs. Continue reading
LANDCARE NSW EDH – DAY 5 BLOG….BALING TWINE REINS
As I mentioned in Blog 1, we lived a long way from our paternal grandparents. In the old Landcruiser and van, it would take us a good 12 hours to get to Bellangry, a rural area on the mid north coast, approximately 25km of winding road from Wauchope. Continue reading
