Make hay whilst the sun shines.

It's been all go here on the farm again. Once a year we get to feel like real farmers when our friend Thiery comes to cut and bail, bale? the hay for us. Depressingly, due to the long winter and lack of spring rain, we have only got half the crop of last year, even though we cut another 1 and a half acres of land. Josh's birthday present of, something in a cage, are starting to appear today. The quaiviary hath begun. So far we have 7 tiddly peeps. They're not the only new borns today though as our frinds Steve and Laura have had their second baby today. Elena was born at stupid o'clock this morning waying 4 pounds something. I have had a week and a half working on Maryline and Davids roof, stripping tiles and battens, fitting membrane and battens and retiling. I think we're nearly 2000 tiles in with another 8-10 thousand to go. Tomorrow is the kids summer fair at school, en Francais, La Kermesse. So we're off there in the morning to see their spectacle and eat lunch before returning home to our next guests Lucy and the big one.
