homemade wine

Started some homemade wine have to say came from a kit to revise the old wine making skills before making some blackberry wine from scratch. lesson one don't fill the vessel you are using to the top as the yeast is usually on the top and when it all gets lively and overflows all over your floor you loose all the yeast and have 5 gallon of cough medicine!! Thanks to Dave guidance on making a yeast starter in an old vinegar bottle looks like its fermenting. The floor is fine now too!

The older ducklings are getting closer to the new flock. They have moved into a shed in the field. Need a few more feathers and they can go into the nursery coop outside so that Francis the drake can get to know his new girls before putting them straight in his pen. (assuming they are girls that is.) Sir Francis here he is the handsome fellow.

The baby chicks and ducklings have moved into their new pad lots more space. Will stop them flying out of the box a new game they have discovered.............flying.
