Friends round to share a delicious goose and a pair of chainsaw boots from my lovely husband. Perfect...

How are you sharing the chainsaw boots ?

Well boiled?

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.

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 :)

Don't listen to the money men - they know the price of everything and the value of nothing

Live in a cohousing community with small farm for our own use.  Dairy cows (rearing their own calves for beef), pigs, sheep for meat and fleece, ducks and hens for eggs, veg and fruit growing

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
I'm not scared to be seen, I make no apologies. This is me!
