We are always being asked if we have lamb for sale, <br />Re. the pork, as we will probably only have two and as our godson will be sharing, there will just be enough for us.Frugal in Derbyshire https://www.blogger.com/profile/10221169113482164565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8953248892638598159.post-14126895632145343512015-01-09T09:26:46.367+00:002015-01-09T09:26:46.367+00:00ooh yes!

In fact four of them have not had theirs off, apart from for a quick wash since Christmas.
