Home Sweet Home

Jean and Peter

This is a web site about my personal life.

Some areas are more personal than others. Those are password protected.

This is me in the photo, with my partner, Peter. I am happy when I am working in my gardens and Peter is happy in his wood pile. We have three dogs: Bannie, Chloe and as of the beginning of Feb, we have Shadow. We also have a cat named Larry. Larry and Shadow are still learning to live together.

We recently spent a month in Scotland, visiting friends and touring around that historic and very friendly country.

Rocks

Fortunately we both love our rocks: rocks in the garden borders, rocks on the porch, rocks on the window sills, jewellery made from rocks.

Gardens

When I didn't have a garden at home I went to the allotments. Since 1990 when I bought my house I have had more and more garden space at home. Now I have vegetables, flowers, shrubs, fruit trees - anything I want.

Animals

Peter and I have always had animals.
