Is cheaper than buying UK wood. How strange. Last load for us this year

We found Gertie lying in the barn this morning. She was over 12 years old and had given birth to several lambs during her time at The Gables. The last time the vets were here they looked in her mouth and saw that she was toothless. That’s what happens with old sheep (us too!). She had a good life here with lots of grass, hay, concentrates and cuddles. She had a painless death on a bed of straw. She will be collected by the knackers today. Farewell old girl.

But, sadly, we don’t learn the lessons

It commemorates the Holocaust. Today marks 80 years since the liberation of Auschwitz – a day when we remember those who perished simply because they were Jews. We also remember those who survived and who, against all the odds, managed to find a way to live – working, raising children and grandchildren and even great grandchildren.

Sadly we are watching, today, the resurgence of antisemitism and racial prejudice throughout the world.

I watch as the sun has broken through the thick grey clouds over Colmworth. Maybe we will all find a way to live together.

Back home I went to see the goats who had taken cover in their barn

And I collected a bag of onions from the onion barn. At the end of the summer there were strings of onions and garlic and many bags. Now it is almost empty. We have enjoyed them all through the autumn and part of the winter.

There is so much to see in and around the town.
