Its my birthday..

Im 36 today... we are having an alternative birthday , well we would wouldn't we!!! Im having a bog gratch, meal... its a hungarian way of cooking over an open fire with a tripod suspending a kettle pot, or a witches coldron.. Its a traditional way that Hungarians cook there goulash.. We are having home corn fed chicken cooked over an oak fire the smoke and i little ash add to the flavour, as its cooked for hours the meat is also very tender, and its a lovely event, there type of BBQ really. I will add pics soon..


We have had puppies..Sasha has just had her second and last litter. She had 11 but 8 lived, a couple got crushedunder the puppy rails that were supposed to prevent that, another got sat on by Sasha..All are doing well and now been introduced to puppy food soaked in puppy milk.

We have also had our first Bengal kittens. 4 born 1 sadly died and it happened to be a snow leopard, but there is one more snow, 1 marble and 1 leopard spot.

We have spent weeks ploughing the fields where the pigs have been working there magic, we have picked 10 digger bucket loads of stone out of the field, Joe created various attatchments for the digger to help us, pictures will be added, he also made a huge rake to help collect the stone, then we have spent about 2 weeks raking and collecting stone by hand..at last yesterday we have added a top dressing of fertiliser and got the seed down we chose a old traditional pasture mix. After throughing down the seed by hand then we had to rake it in again , then roll it, Joe found an old lawn mower in a skip that has a roller on it so he got it going again and round and round he went, it was definatly worth doing the difference it has made..

The Grass party!!
The children are now watcing for the field to green up when it does we shall have a clebration "Grass party" it could be misconstrude but we are so excited about seein the field green up, We have a major planning event on the 6 th July we have a hearing to try and though us off our land , and in the planning enforcement officers notes he says the land is waste land and that not even 1 blade of grass will grow on it , he will be sorry he wrote that!!! I have also preparred a huge veg patch and planning to go over the top.... my carpet now has seed packets strewn all over it .. i hope for some rain now so to kick it all in to action.... right im off to go get these seeds in i have loads of pictures to up load just no time to do it.....
