Eggs galore!

 

Our hens normally stop laying from October to January. This year has been different. They stopped laying in November and 2 weeks later they started again. This has left us with a large surplus of eggs. We are thumbing our way through recipe books for ideas on how to use them.

Lambs looking great

 

Our 4 lambs born last year are looking great. Note the orange colouring on their backs, indicating they've been mated by the ram.

First babies of the year

 

A bit earlier than expected but Nettle had three kids this morning - 2 boys and a girl. Kids and mum are doing well.

Mulled wine

 

12 years ago we made a huge amount of red and white wine. We still have lots of it to use up. As we are in the Christmas period, we've been making mulled wine. Very pleasant!
