After the long Christmas time it is wonderful to be getting back into the working routine and not having to many things that are out of the ordinary although we did have a few birthdays to celebrate over the last week.
We have been joined by a new co-worker who will be staying with us for three months and also John Joe and Kathleen from FAS have joined the ranks and are working alongside everyone which is very much appreciated by all.A lot of work has gone into clearing out the rusty container that has been sitting on our land ever since we got here seven years ago - and we are all looking forward to getting rid of it soon and making some space for new ventures in its stead.
A new bullock joined us for a day last week - but seemed to be rather keen to get back to his old field and easily overcame two fences and a hedge and scared a few neighbours while galloping back along the road to his old field without a passport !We will have to see how we can coax him to stay...
Otherwise things are rather uneventful - but everyone is enjoying the rather mild days. The chickens all have started laying eggs again - and even the occasional duck egg can be found. The daffodils are all peeping out of the ground and there seems to be a little bit of confusion about the beginning of the spring so everyone is hoping that the winter has actually passed us by. All in all it is a rather uneventful time which is very much appreciated by everyone.
