So what's happened..?

After a very long delay of posting, what has happened?

A brief update is that we had 10 pigs (Middle Whites, Gloucester Old Spots, Saddlebacks, and Large Blacks) until last Monday when the two whites went to the abattoir. They come back on Friday, which is very exciting. (We have pork and sausages for sale!)

In a month or two a few more are going, but 2 are fattening up to become a "baconer".

We have six lambs, 4 ewes and 2 rams. The 2 rams are going to next month.

As well as that our Light Sussex chicks are now chickens and have moved residence to the field - the black Orpingtons are next to move across and are huge and fluffy - beautiful animals. No eggs as yet but hopefully soon. One of the Orpingtons is definitely a cockerel so we are hopefully in business to start breeding our own.

And Alan has been extremely busy getting the huge vegetable plot going. We now have some gorgeous potatoes, peas, runner beans, green/purple/yellow beans, borletti beans, spinach, cabbages, chard, corn, tomatoes, brocolli etc etc the list goes on. Well done Alan, he's worked tirelessly.
