Title: Sorry - I have been sinfully neglectful !!

Hi guys,

Its a sin - I am here to confess - I haven't been to TAS for over six weeks....
But I have thought of you all, often, and hope you are all doing fine.

My news....pigs are away, the freezers are full, I have made 48lbs of sausages, and don't want to see another one for some time. I did my calculations and it cost me  £410 pounds for the pigs, feed,slaughter and butchering, and i have got back over £500 worth of pork and bacon etc. ....I'M HAPPY !!

The lambs have a bit of a reprieve cos there is no space in the freezer  ::) The ewes are driving me nuts cos they take it in turns to go lame  :-\

Our collie pup's ears are highly entertaining, the cats are mad, the chickens have hatched more chicks, the turkey is a lost cause, and the horses are eating through an orchard of windfalls!

That's all I have to say about that - in the words of my favourite philosopher
The site looks grand Dan!
It good to be back
Emma T xx

Sally - Meg's (the collie) ears are turning themselves every which way. Some days she is indicating right / / as

ears point in that direction, then the next time I look shes going left..\ \ ..then they cross in the
