Yet more lovely free produce from the garden - this time from our walnut tree! Would be great in our home-made muesli :)

We have upped the scale of our apple juice manufacturing now!!
Also we have a professional pasteuriser on the way :)
Hopefully by the time we've finished this years harvest of apples the whole lot will last us several months! 🍎 🍹

It is amazing to us how much this garden yields to us in fruit and tomatoes! Fruit trees are everywhere, and due to all the rain followed by such a hot, dry Summer there is an abundance of produce.

It was time to put the chickens to bed, but Speckles was missing, and we realised we hadn’t seen her much for days. Brendan went to look for her under the bushes, and as suspected, found that she had been making a nest and was sitting on her eggs. Lifting her off to carry her to the henhouse to go to bed he then saw that there were not just a few eggs there, but 16!!!!

Very exciting experience buying chickens for the first time!! 08.30 down at Caussade market we individually chose each of our 6 girls, all different colours! We hope they are happy here at their new home :)

So much harder than it looks - one whole day to erect the structure, and just when we thought the hard bit was over, the 5 layers took us another whole day and was even harder! Brendan’s quote for the day: “Well we did it, and we didn’t kill each other!!”
