Admiring my neighbour's pigs. An enormous pile of Landrace piglets and his new Durocs, an in pig gilt, a young gilt and a young boar. Lovely looking pigs, lengthy with enormous hams!

Going to church this morning then a trip to the charity shop with loads of stuff that's been hanging round for ever. Followed by yet more cheese making.

Getting sheep in for dosing and clipping, then off to pick a load of ragwort and before finally collapsing into bed checking all the water troughs for the night. ::)
the most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, loving concern.

yesterday was - treating ewe for flystrike, patching up hole in fence where goats managed to sneak through, scrubbing water troughs, realising that my card details were no longer in date so my baaath time website is out on a limb (!)  going to a gig, drinking beer, cooking on a BBQ, collapsing in bed and waking up with a sore throat and poorly child.
Smallholding in Worcestershire, making goats milk soap for www.itsbaaathtime.com and mum to 4 girls,  goats, sheep, chickens, dog, cat and garden snails...

Moving hundreds of books from the sitting room to the dining room ready for the decorators to come in on Wednesday. Had help so it wasn't too bad but I'm dreading having to put them back again. I like them in alphabetical order.
