Its raining



The forecast was for a weekend of rain and so far that is what we have got. Hence the logburner picture.
We have spent the week recovering from journeys. Chantelle was back at school on Monday, but were both under par with a bout of the virus that is doing the rounds.

The sheep is called Independence which is not a very appropriate name for a wether who jumped 2 fences to get back to his girls rather than go off a solo journey back to the farm on which he was born. The 2 most awkward ewes got a week's reprieve because the homekill butcher we were going to use is busy today.

Meanwhile we are feeding increased rations to the hens as we havent had a single egg for a fortnight and no more than 1 a day for the last 4 months. i am starting to wonder if they have either a) all gone on strike b) are not getting enough food or c) are actually all cocks in disguise.
