The Good Life

Not quite up to the standards of Tom and Barbara but have now managed to plant up a few herbs, courgettes, lettuces and tomatoes to provide some of our needs. Couldn’t resist buying a couple of heirloom varieties of tomato when I came across one called ‘Irish Old Sod’.
Keith – who farms about 20 acres to one side of us – has 6 sheep and about 8 lambs – there’s a pair of black lambs which we have an eye on – not sure when they will be ready for the pot but we’ve got our names down for one of them! He also has 7 cattle each with a calf but they are still in the byre waiting for the land to dry out a bit. He is the one who owns Molly and Lucy and told us this week that Lucy is in foal.
