Hi there, I'm Ashe.
Ashe de la June


After many years in IT tech support and web dev, I unexpectedly ventured onto a new path. Now I'm in my thirties and have a double degree in Earth Sciences! I am raising fowl, a goat, a horse, four cats and a husband. I spend my free time in the garden and with my animals. Currently, my long-suffering husband and I sleep with one of our cats in the bedroom with a young pullet in a cat cage on a shelf who refuses to sleep with the other chickens! It strangely works out. My husband is an aspiring author writer and often blogs a story about our lives on the farm etc.

I am passionate about chickens, cats, web design, blogging, Pinterest, sprouting seeds, taking cuttings and other gardening, trialling make-up and hair products, baking, writing stories, spinal disabilities, making things and offering all kinds of advice to people.

Being one who loves to read, TaintedBlood.org is an old URL I purchased in 2002, inspired by the Margaret Weis science fiction fantasy Star of Guardians series of novels. Jazhiaran and Ashe are the names of rpg characters I created in the 90s inspired by the Raymond E. Feist fantasy novels following Pug the magician.

C and I cuddling this morning. /Supposed/ to mostly him in pics. Someone loves kisses.
C and Jazhiaran
one kiss...
C and Jazhiaran
two kiss!  
Ever regret what you're wearing when you go to meet someone for a Gumtree sale? I certainly did. Good looking Scottish guy, and me... Still fat due to my injuries and dressed in men's green cargos, brown and black striped top, gardening hat (used to be nice), steel tied boots and unruly plaited hair. All class, am I. It isn't as though I've considered picking up in the last two years of being fat, but it is nice to feel like you look good. And I did not.

I'm the type who hates being seen looking like the Tom boy I am at home. Especially a fat bitch.

Anyway, so I turn up there to look at the dog kennel i will be using for the dicks and chooks. Of course I came prepared and used a whole can of surface spray on it, then they pack it up and trailer it to my house nearby. Get it off the trailer 250m away from house due to huntsman spiders in it.... And yep, three crawl out; two as the men carry it. The older man picked one up by a leg and tossed it near me. Ugh.
Huntsman filled chicken shed
Kennel with electric fence gate handle for size.
Although I am no squealing girl with them, I do think all the huntsman exposure I'm having lately is doing me good.

Anyway, mission one complete: home for birds found. In a week I will hose it down and paint it :)
