Forgive me world for I have sinned, no blogs since Wednesday!
There just doesn't seem to have been enough hours in the day (or even night) to find five minutes to sit down and blog what with three different events, farm visitors doing their Christmas shopping, shearing goats, yes I know it's cold but they are tucked up nice and warm in the shed, taking delivery of my new toy and trying to get some knitting orders done.
Oh yes and rounding up the sheep on Sunday (in the snow) to give the various tups chance to do their thing - Paul actually took some photo's but I can't share them with you as the camera seems to have grown legs and walked somewhere all on it's own!!
I was hoping to get some shop updates done as I've had a lesson on uploading from Paul but without the camera I can't do that. It's probably a good job as I'm bound to do something wrong and destroy the shop.
We had a fantastic weekend for knitwear sales, we had been invited to Anlwick Christmas market on Saturday which despite the freezing conditions proved a very worthwhile outing. The boys were very popular and attracted a crowd all day and the knitwear was doing a roaring trade.
On Sunday we had a visit from a previous customer who wanted to do some Christmas shopping, they took home lots of gifts and a treat for themselves too - that will be one cosy family this Christmas!
As we still have snow everyone is enjoying another night in, the hay consumption has gone through the roof so we are going to need to buy some more before the end of winter. Hopefully what we have will last us until February.
We seem to have 3 hens that have forgotten where they live and have taken up residence in the shed. I wouldn't mind but they don't sleep with Tweet, who does roost in there. There has been a bit of cockerel wars going on today between Dave and Tweet, so both have gone to bed with bloody beaks!
