I'm so grateful each and every day to walk out and be greeted by these wonderful creatures. :)Jembella Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07646075804716647311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5402585807064573190.post-78331845796329808202016-02-12T14:46:34.225+10:302016-02-12T14:46:34.225+10:30Those of us who live in the urban jungle really ad...Those of us who live in the urban jungle really admire and hanker after your lifestyle. You really have a wonderful collection of animals and it must be a pleasure producing a lot of your own food from your smallholding. I'm inspired to give up the big smoke and move out to the country to follow in your footsteps.<br /><br /><a href="http://rainfilltanks.blogspot.com/2015/12/corrugated-water-tanks-why-theyre-so.html" rel="nofollow">Bert Aguilar @ Rainfill Tanks and Curved Roofing Supplies</a>Bert Aguilarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10498762516139895231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5402585807064573190.post-33865701314814164022016-01-12T14:05:15.632+10:302016-01-12T14:05:15.632+10:30So right Sue.

The planning to get away just for a few days can often begin twelve months in advance! You said it so well, we need to get away for a break if only to love returning home. It is then that we realize we are in the right place.Jembella Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07646075804716647311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5402585807064573190.post-69397311512996031612016-01-12T13:59:20.592+10:302016-01-12T13:59:20.592+10:30Had a chuckle about your rainwater lasting a bit l...Had a chuckle about your rainwater lasting a bit longer now. :) Jembella Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07646075804716647311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5402585807064573190.post-381568083380781582016-01-11T23:05:05.049+10:302016-01-11T23:05:05.049+10:30There are no 'weekends' as such in farming...There are no 'weekends' as such in farming are there, it's just 24/7 of the same, which I guess is why we are all so good at condensing the jobs when we have to, planning ahead and re-organising when we want 'time off' for special things.<br /><br />Sometimes the planning for a 'break' of any description, the hard work beforehand and the catching up afterwards makes it seem hardly worthwhile, but a few days away, while you are away, are worth it. If for nothing else than to make you realise you want to be back at home in the midst of things.<br /><br />Your cheese looks fantastic, it's something I really must get round to making for myself.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04177854521955532744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5402585807064573190.post-85059145020454040512016-01-11T16:18:29.918+10:302016-01-11T16:18:29.918+10:30A farmers work is never done!

There is always something to fix or feed,eh?<br />I have never attempted cheesemaking - purely for the fact that it is my one weakness and I much prefer it to chocolate. If I made it, I'd just have to eat it! My hubby would go nuts over the Roquefort you made, he loves his blue as much as I hate it! Lol!<br />It would be nice to get a good shower of rain, its very dry down here in the South East (but not as dry as you). We had thundery clouds today which gave us a sprinkle but nothing really to wet the garden and lawns. Fortunately, our rain water tanks are still half full (makes a difference now our kids don't live at home).<br />Looking forward to pics of your sourdough triumphs!<br /><br />Cheers - Joolz xx<br />Joolzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07490462580345458546noreply@blogger.com
