catch up

there has been so much happen that i can only offer sound bites!
thank you to all our helpers so far, recently we had six americans come and stay, Beth and Rob for two weeks and four others (Teddy, Amy, Alex and Christina) for a few days, then Robin from the uk and Aude from france, our Mexican friend Eube and his girlfriend from Hungary all of whom have been amazing. from beat box to amazing nut burgers, from discovering that Lucy didnt kill my rare grass (see lucy, we knew it would be fine!) and buying a new jasmine to replace the one weeded!!! Salix is moving to secondary school, our sheep have received new friends (eight of them) and the permaculture course went brilliantly. we also had Jessie Darlington visit the garden and she walked us around showing us which 'weeds' are edible, and we have had great soups since then. Jessie and Andy never buy fruit or veg! how amazing. Ivor has four teeth, and is practically walking, a pigeon has moved into the farm, and we hope it will bring in a mate too. the ducklings are growing, the chickens are laying and we are busy drying herbs. the garden looks amazing, and my apple mac has died a death after ten years of good use in a dusty environment. The terracing moves on, the solar panel for hot water built by justin is amazing and will be put in place soon i hope. (ha ha) Justin is off to fetch the new ram soon and we are going to have illegal sheep as we refuse to inject them with mercury and other heavy metals, they are organic, happy sheep. baaaaaa more soon i hope!!!!!
