Its been a busy week down on the smallholding. Picking fruit and watering plants. I have tomatoes, raspberries, blackcurrants, strawberries and today i had my first blackberry. I have a large amount of blackberries so will be making a range of blackberry related products for my market stall. I started with a summer fruit desert sauce today which i have to say went down really well.
Pigs well they are just being pigs the sheep are now scared of the pigs. Sheep are doing ok other than the little black sheep who seems to be stunned. She also keeps escaping from the rest of the sheep to my vegetable patch. However she doesnt seem to like the vegetables she is just eating the weeds. Clever Lamb. think she is going to end up a pet as she will never get to the right weight. so might have to have a lamb naming session.
Chickens and ducks. mr fox got in and has killed a few chickens grr!! Feathers everywhere!! The fox took the bodies away so must be feeding babies somewhere. Not pleasant to find missing chickens but thats life in nature.
Stardust still loving the great outdoors and is never in!! She does come home for a bit of affection and food and then she is off out again. Toffee isnt much better. Great to see two happy cats. Wont mention Trifle who is old and I am sure senile as she sleeps on the edge of the bath and falls off and never learns that its perhaps not the best idea to sleep on the side of the bath!
