Back again again  Got out of the loop for a while, but it's nice to be back and see the friendly faces still around
Not much changed here in the interim, more ongoing developments of things started. Garden nice and productive this year - very good eyar fro fruit and I seem to spend an inordiante amount of time chained to the Rayburn  Ahwell, I'll appreciate it all int he winter.
Livestock now shickens, ducks, Muscovies, 2 goats and bees. Still not got to milking the goats, must try harder on that one, but need a new bigger shed for them if I kid them; they've eaten most of this one anyway Getting well down the non-electric road now, getting rid of electric things not wanted; lots of oil lamps; got rid of the television recently (bliss  ); acquired a rather nice collection of hand sewing machines from the last century and earlier, so using them; growin wheat again this autumn, and oats next year again too, I hope, maybe a bit of barley to see hwo that does. Still busy on the brewing front - seasonal wines all the time, plus beer and cider; almost time for hop harvesting too. Still working on the house, but it's an ongoing thing - when we've got the money we don't have the time and vice versa, but a kitchen ceiling would be nice, dear...............
Still into the prepping and survivalism too.
Garden ever evolving, just about to plant up a forest garden in a patch that doesn't have mush productive purpose other than prettiness and bindweed at the moment, so OH delighted Still cooking, making; cracked the spinning, joined the Guild and became Chairman
So, that's it, more of the same but with less electricity and more eccentricityn I suppose.................
Hoep all are well.

Good Grief  .What a busy person you are. Nice to hear from you again MrsL. I intend to put a resamay of our activities later this year after the harvest but I must admit to being somewhat humbled by your efforts. Good luck.
Wayland.

I actually seem to spend more time knitting and drinking tea than that lot up there, but that's basically what I do
My typing's mighty wonky isn't it?
