So I am back again again
:-)!
The back to school
rush has kept us busy, and that won’t stop anytime soon with back to uni/extra
work commitments/extra volunteer roles/kids activities all resumed or resuming
this coming week.
We have visited
family :-) so that was a lovely weekend away.
And I have made
more cheese – the mascarpone made some lovely orange and mascarpone icecream
and the wonderful Freddy made a tiramisu – yum!
The feta unfortunately I am calling a ‘learning opportunity’ (= failure :-(). It came out ok but the brine was way, way, way too salty (I did actually follow the recipe quantities…) and it was very smooth on the outside, not dryish like I am used to – so next time I will use the loose weave muslin and see if that makes a difference – and I will be very ginger on the salt for the brine!
Rosy Roger has been
joined in the rooster crowing brigade by Big Al (our bantam Favarolle rooster) –
and by Fred (one of the Black mottled Wyandottes) – who we are still hoping is
a girl!! But I fear it is looking like
we might have another 4 roosters "-( - all the Wyandottes are looking like they have the long feathers
developing on the necks…watch this space, if you see a few chicken dinners…well
you will know why….
Here are Roger, and
Midnight and Fred - what do we reckon???
We had some hot
weather a week or so ago – the strawbales did their job nicely :-).
And I have been Kon Mari-ing the house :-). It is working well for me – soooo much stuff has left this house! The linen cupboard was the last to get a make-over.
Before and After.
I like it so much better now.
And finally, for your viewing pleasure - black gold my friends, this here is black gold!
My very own home-made compost – l.o.v.e. IT!
