Martin has been working on housing for our latest project, more on that later
The past year has been a real adventure, we have raised pigs, reared a Lambert, raised ducks added to our chicken flock added to the Alpaca herd, lost the tortoise and found hi again, two dogs joined us unfortunately we sadly lost one, it has been a big learning curve and we still have lots to do
I can now pick flowers from the garden picked these yesterday and vegetables from the garden, raising our own meat, met lots of lovely people and have fantastic neighbours who brought round an anniversary card for us today with chocolates congratulating us on 1YEAR HERE.
Thank you all for joining us on the journey, I hope you will continue to follow and enjoy our journey.
You have achieved so much in your year, well done and best wishes for many many more
