It’s the night after the Super Worm Moon – the third full moon of the year 2021
Three days with our bubble – no phones, no tech, tv, radio or papers. Wonderful
We did walk over the road today to see Bella’s baby calf and the children also met Minnie the 30 year old Dales pony. She’s a gentle giant. Her mistress took these photos and sent them to me
What’s in the box in the porch?
Across the road Bella (the Dexter cow we sold to our friend) produced a calf this morning.
And two other of our Dexters, that we sold to a young couple in a nearby village, both gave birth to calves today too. Well done to mothers and babies and their owners.
Pink Fir Apples – NOT apples at all
Simply the BEST salad potato. We used to grow them in Devon over 40 years ago
Sugar Magnolia, blossoms blooming (Grateful Dead lyrics – always worth a listen)
A long day
More to cook and prepare tomorrow. We
Festival of freedom ……and cooking? Hmmmmm…..
Rhubarb tomorrow?
It’s growing apace but will there be a few sticks to pull up and stew tomorrow?
Lambikin getting to be a good sized lamb on just two bottles a day plus grass, water and concentrates
Wednesday walking and talking
Including a glorious, potted rhododendron, an animal tracking night camera, whisky, vodka (do folk think I’m an alcoholic?) fiction and non fiction books, bath bubbly, a shawl and bird boxes. But still NO PENSION! If I am spared to live another year I might just draw it then.
