Thanks for your comments and good wishes for Adam
Here is a pic of his newly designed head
(whisper this) Is this a good time to remind you why we bought Adam as a cade lamb?
Moving swiftly on....The garden is still doing well and the tomatoes are exceptional. Here is a picture taken this week of the first part of the greenhouse. For September this is pretty remarkable for us.
As is often the case though our beans continue to be awful!
It has been really hot today and the Goathouse crew (that motley selection of orphans) were out half in the sun and half in the shade of some old redcurrant bushes. What a lovely group they are and so good natured.
These redcurrants are next to THE WALL. that D. is rebuilding after it was demolished by next doors' bull. Here it is. I think you will agree that is substantial and bull-proof. In fact in the case of a nuclear attack you could be pretty safe behind this wall. - or at least you will be when it is finished!
I have just looked back at this post so far and realised that I have posted pictures of a sheep's head, some tomato plants and a wall! Good grief it's a wonder people bother to visit this blog when you think about it!
I have finally finished writing, printing and then posting ( with a HUGE amount of help from Nigel,) the yearly newsletter from our Civic Society. We post to 400 houses in the district to let people know what we are doing and what events are to be held in the future. This Autumn/winter we are particularly busy with a Memories get-together for a local firm that closed in 1995,(October) A weekend Heritage Exhibition (early November) and a Remembrance Evening (Mid November) There are pamphlets to be written, exhibits to be staged, walks to be organised and histories of those fallen soldiers named on our little war memorial to be collated into booklet form....and copious amounts of cake to be made for each event!!
So no problem, as my mother said. "If you want something doing.. ask a busy woman"
On Saturday morning we set off for Cornwall for a WEEKS(!) fishing. not me you understand, D. will be fishing, while I help my friend, with whom we stay in Callington, with two handed jobs she saves for me, CS shopping and of course processing any fish D. catches. I am hoping to have couple of days completely to myself and will be taking the means to make a couple of Christmas presents I have in mind. Can't say what they are as the proposed recipients may be reading this.
As usual YD will be here holding the fort while we are away. If I can get the mice that power the treadmill that works my friends computer to do some work I shall blog from Cornwall.
Bye for now Gillx
PS. I have just remembered the new hens we have "rescued" Will tell you next time.
I'm very jealous of your tomatoes. My neighbour has told me to take as many as I want from his garden, but they are totally BLUE (copper sulphate). Good to see the Unicorn is doing well.
ReplyDeleteJust keep on putting Another Brick In The Wall :-)
ReplyDeleteOur tomatoes are almost finished and what's left are no good for selling. We usually have them much later than this so it's disappointing. Have a good time in Cornwall- she says green with envy AGAIN!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy Cornwall.
