“Ding, ding” jingled the cow bells as we scrambled up the hillside in search of wild raspberries. The cows too caught up in munching on their lunch to notice us hunting for little orange coloured berries just a new meters away.

Remember back at the start of the year when I told you about how I hoped to have all our home improvements ‘done and dusted’ by the end of the year?
