Potato box - ingenious! If I can get the motivation going again I'll see what I can find on freecycle in the way of huts etc in spring.
Kerstin, I'd no idea you were on here or that Jane had connection on here either
Coffee and cake is about my favourite thing to do if the roads are ok, has to be daylight tho, let me know where you are (you have my and let's get a date arranged. Don't worry about the massage (well I'd definitely be up for one sometime but no pressure on you at all please!). I have a table here if you wanted to try my cafetiere at some point on a return visit
Sadly tho I love ducks I'm not keen on duck eggs, dad loved them but they were too strong for me and put me right off.
BC I am looking forward to meeting you in a couple of weeks with your chainsaw and hope you have ropes/ladders etc as I have one single aluminium ladder tall enough but nothing safe to saw from. I'm not a great cook and veggie too which can be sacrilege amongst farmers and smallholders
but I can do soups, baked tatties, quiches and the like or simple pasta things and as for a blether, you may need to be careful what you ask for as I barely see people from one week to the next and can be a wee bit of a motormouth when I do
Might well take the wethers too if you're serious, but will have to get through winter and sell some of these ponies first now as 16 of them on 10 acres through winter (snow or mud
) is too overstocked to want more livestock on there just now and I haven't found any alternative land to lease when I lose the hill in 3 weeks or less
I definitely wouldn't be eating them but if I couldn't manage then I might offer them back or pass them on if that's ok with you, I'd hate to make a mess of their lives or cause their deaths through ignorance or putting too many animals in too small a space and something getting injured
My goodness, this forum I found accidentally has really proved to be a pleasant surprise in so many ways, thanks
