Ballet and Birthday

On Daddy's birthday Millie went to a ballet class. Daddy had breakfast in bed and went to Thame market to see sheep and cattle being auctioned with Charlie and Freddie. Mummy and Daddy went out to The Five Elms in Weedon in the evening


Kerstin, the Austrian Au pair, made Daddy a Sheep-face cake which was very yummy!

We've got Sheep!

Bought two store lambs from Derek. They should be finished by early December.

Hampshire cross (not sure what they're cross with though!)

Picking Apples & Blackberries

We picked two big baskets full of apples and loads of blackberries

Daddy turned nearly everything into yummy jam or crumble

Bacon bits

The pigs were delivered to Simon at The Best Butchers and turned into over 300 sausages and 660 rashers of bacon plus 30kg ham and the same in rolled shoulder joints!

 
 

Pull!

After the best part of nine months Daddy and Granddad John finally arranged to use their Christmas presents and go for a shooting lesson. Excellent fun.
