moving on with our lives

not published anything since June and the slugs but we've gone on adding ducks and sheep to our livestock and moved from the caravan into the house (though the floors, doors and windows are temporary).  However the Esse woodburning range isn't temporary and has made life warm and cosy.  The sheep are hopefully in lamb and so we'll learn from them about the delights of lambing in the spring.  The garden produced only garlic, Jerusalem artichokes, potatoes and a bit of spinach despite lots of replanting but I'm hopeful that next year might be better especially as we've gone on making as much compost as possible.
