I started this blog after we have been here for a few months as a way of letting my family back in the UK know what I was getting up to. Thanks for giving me this nudge. I did start a book about our first year here, got to 70,000 words, was on to first edit, then we had a power cut while the file was open and the whole lot got wiped out. Maybe writing the blog will inspire me to get that book re-written! <br /><br />Horst, don't worry, the calf will be put in the Middle Barn soon. At the moment she is in the Sheep Paddock, but her and the goats will be shifted soon. It will stay quite warm here for a while yet though. It is January and February when the cold really hits us. The Baileys was delightful!<br /><br />John, Lester managed to get all eleven chicks, plus mum, rescued. Am watching with interest how you get those two new sheep of yours to come to the hand to be fed. we've got to train the goats and Elise to do the same, without having to do a manic chase around the Paddock first!<br /><br />Diane, I really think that Elise is going to have to manage with having the goats as her companions! We are thinking the same about the chicks, but two look like they might have come from the smallest hen we have here - I am not sure how our cockerel and her managed that. He is a big boy!<br /><br />Verahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13235143664894609891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-833961486558166275.post-11715398036961532492012-09-20T21:54:39.356+02:002012-09-20T21:54:39.356+02:00Elsie needs a friend!!!

I ...Vera, love your video, nice to here your voice. I hope it doesn't get to cold in the winter so that your wonderful little calf doesn't freeze. The building the calf is in has a lot of venting for the summer but not great for the winter. Your calf sure is cute. Love the old buildings on your property. The geese look great and the rooster looks healthy. You have a great week and weekend and don't dip into the Baileys to often.;-) Horst in Edmontonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14523290699599403329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-833961486558166275.post-20429762088830404102012-09-20T14:27:25.227+02:002012-09-20T14:27:25.227+02:00Vera - what was life pre-Labartere.

As for Lester's ankles...not so good, so has retired from clambering over the woodpile temporarily! Am now going to pop over to your blog to see what you are up to.Verahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13235143664894609891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-833961486558166275.post-45912125899765426832012-09-20T12:59:06.710+02:002012-09-20T12:59:06.710+02:00Hello Vera,

I shall try it! <br /><br />And then to read your post and find that you have Chinese Geese. Such characters, but how are Lester's ankles?!<br /><br />We have recently moved to South West England, and are similarly renovating. Slowly, surely, painfully. To date my animal count flies or scampers in from the woods that surround us, but as we get settled I shall get some of my own. <br /><br />Look forward to following your adventures.
