Well ladies just popped in for a tidy up, as you can see all outside work done, grass cut, veg patch tidy, new fruit canes planted hedges trimmed more hay put under pumpkins, and they are looking good, so I think the grounds are ready for the winter, stuff from veg patch in pig bin so please don't throw onto compost heap.
Farrier has been and done the donkeys shoes and bless him he trimmed the pigs feet too, I couldn't manage with those stupid trotter clippers, he has said he will keep an eye on them for us, wouldn't take payment but was happy to take 2 doz eggs.
Have used the egg money to restock the cupboards and freezer, change in tin, think I remembered everything and a couple of treats for us too, if there is anything I missed write it on the board and I will get it Friday when I go shopping.
The animals are all looking sleek and well fed, Jem says the chickens will start to stop laying shortly till they moult then they should start again, he is so good with them and their houses are always so clean, caught him sitting with the pigs scratching their bellies, wish I'd had my camera.
Later ladies.
