Juiced no more

I have stood down from my position as Copy Editor of Juiced Custom Automotive magazine as it was turning into a drag! Not so much for me (I love being anal about stuff) but more for the writers and the guys putting the mag together.

As the mag has grown so to did the hours required to put it all together and when those hours are clocking close to a full time job all for no pay things get a bit titchy. I have decided it will be more fun to just read it once it is printed.

One good thing has come out of it I actually have some of my photos printed in a real magazine!


I love this for the mere fact he has managed to write the Initial 'G' with the bubbly!

  Yay for me! not as cool as having them featured on the Epiphanie blog though!

So a bit sad that the end has come so soon, although I am sure to still get updates from hubby as he slaves away for free!

I love Saturdays!

Another Saturday has rolled around quickly and the house is starting to feel a bit empty now we have packed a lot of our junk precious items.

I still took time out this morning for my Vice listening to Tony Murrell on Radio Live doing his fabulous garden show which he shares with Helen Jackson a big foodie. He spent the morning focused on fruit trees and how to prune and espalier them. Is it wrong that I may have squealed a little when he read my e-mail on air!

During the show he spoke to Lisa Bowman from Twining Valley Nursery about growing a living boundary. Twining Valley sell a very unique product one I am sure I will be saving my pennies to buy!

Who wouldn't want a fully pre-grown hedge delivered to your door ready to plant straight into a trench in 1 meter lengths. I dream of a scented flowering hedge under my bedroom window as I do love to sleep with my windows open (at least I did, that's a post for another time)



I would also like to have a fruiting hedge along the street boundary. One of my fondest memories as a kid was picking Feijoa's from peoples hedges to fill my greedy belly with. They were so abundant that there was enough to feed plenty of small children on the way to school, these days most are gone replaced with ugly fences or wrought iron monstrosities with automatic gates.

Twining Valley also do a Mandarin which would be a cute edging plant for an entertainment area. Oh I wish I could magic up a new home right now!

Any ways I really should turn off the computer and do some more packing but Winter has finally arrived and it is cold cold cold so I might just snuggle in bed and do some work which I put off last night to play Zuma's Revenge (curse that damn frog). If you get a chance head on over to the magazines Facebook page Juiced Mag and like us.  

P.s I have it on good authority that the art director has been working late into the night to bring you a sic new edition this month! Subscribe and save yourself a trip to the dairy!

Dont give up your day job!

Check out what we do with ALL our spare time!

Juiced Custom Automotive Magazine

At night I quite often spend time messaging hubby or e-mailing him links to things I like as he works away on the magazine and every now and then I do some work too. I have no formal training but am reasonably handy with a spell checker so my official title is Copy Editor.

As I am no Pro and quite often do this when it is way past my bedtime there is always some mistake to be found after it has gone to print so I will be sticking to my day job of wife and mother for now (at least till House & Garden mag comes calling)
