Charlie goes on a journey

Such a handsome boy

Nearing maturity he must now be separated from the adult nanny goats. We are waiting to hear if either of two people who expressed an interest in taking Charlie will come good. In the meantime he is going to stay with friends not too far away. Bye bye Charlie. Best behaviours please!

The honey spinner- the frames go in, four at a time and we turn the handle using old fashioned elbow grease
The inside of the spinner
The honey is released into a double metal sieve below to remove wax and impurities
The sieve which sits on top of the honey bucket
Thirty two jars of pure, golden Gables honey. Click below
