I was recently in England. My parents needed me to visit and I wanted to visit the lady, Mary Bell who sold me the Herdwick semen. The English Sunday paper would take you a week to read it! Massive. I read about River Cottage and heard it mentioned a few times. What is it? Well it is a way of life, a place,a TV Show and a web site. www.rivercottage.net
They talk about thinking about food and where it comes from and how good it is or how good is it?. They say River Cottage is a way of life. I really like the sound of it. If you have time read some of the pages and perhaps start to get to River Cottage too.
We have our own eggs from chickens that run free, they eat grass and bugs and turn that into the best eggs you can imagine. Still a bit squeamish about it but I must learn to kill and pluck a chicken. I only have a few turkeys this year and I am thinking about geese for next year. I am determined to have a producing garden next year. This year we had a bumper crop of Berries and the Tomatoes are still good.
I got 12 50pound bags of seed delivered today. I should go out and scatter them as a big storm is coming. I also picked up culverts today only to be told when I got home they were not big enough!
Babies are doing great and I am getting a bit more sleep.
