I got a new walking stick with a wide bottom and a built in torch, how about you ?

60 paving slabs, plus some sharp sand and concrete to build a proper pathway in my Keder greenhouse (present from last year)..... I am easy to please!

Tools and machinery for the smallholder book by John Bezzant. Very good read so far. Learning about compact tractors.
It's my birthday soon and i'm getting the Gold Cockrel book about Fencing :excited:

I got a new (fancy) cheese grater, much to the horror of OHs workmates.. :roflanim:

A microscope so I can start doing fec’s ;D

An IOU for a generator in the next Machine Mart 20% off event. The last of the romantics. He did take me out for a chinese lunch today though.

Two roll-on deodorants and a four pack of Heinz tomato soup! ;D

The Victorian Farm (book of the TV series); very interesting - and on my list thanks to someone's post here about The Edwardian Farm on the TV a few weeks back.

Well, they would have to be black wouldn't they LOL

I suppose I could say a house, had a bit in the bank from wages I don't use apart from council tax, because I never go anywhere, OH loaned (gave?), quite a bit to top up,
Auction buy, haven't got the keys yet, needs work, but will (hopefully) be renting it out towards a pension.

A Woollee Winder for my Ashford e spinner, so I can really hammer out some yarn without very much effort at all. (I still love, and use, my Timbertops Leicester and other conventional - and not-so-conventional - treadle wheels, but sometimes the flesh is weak whilst I still want to make yarn.). These things aren't cheap (nor was the 2nd hand e spinner), so it's both birthday and Chrimble from parents and sis, plus a top-up from myself. I'm hoping I will become so productive that I'll have enough handspun for some meaningful weaving :)
-
Aren't we a practical but happy lot! I actually got a working collie so I can work off the wide bottom.
-
Goat milk soap and body lotion which was bought in Fuertoventura. Very appropriate.

Well as mentioned above before, i got the Gold Cockerel book about fencing for my birthday. Wow! Certainly a in-depth read. Going to take a read or two to get my head around it all. Well worth it for a newbie to smallholding like myself
