Grandma Iris Spencer's Christmas Message


My mother, Iris Vera Florence Spencer (nee Steele, born 1921), and her 2009 Christmas message to her six children and their families.



This is her first time on the internet... in fact her first time on video. So feel free to say hello through the comments section and I'll pass it on.

(and btw, you don't have to be a member to leave a comment, just ignore the part that asks for your password.)



And a deliciously happy new year from me! Hope you like this elf-dance I've been practicing...

Who says permaculture has to be messy?



Ian Wansbrough's gorgeous garden in Fremantle, WA.





Permaculture meets Home Beautiful.



Formal garden beds, impeccably neat...



... With tomatoes, herbs, zuchinnis, silverbeet, salad greens, snowpeas, corn picked and straight into the pot or onto the barbie, and fresh eggs from the chooks for brekky.
