A farmers toast!

Let the wealthy and great, Roll in splendour and state, I envy them not i declare it, I eat my own lamb, My chickens and ham, I shear my own fleece and i wear it, I have lawns,I have bowers, I have fruits,I have flowers, The lark is my morning alarmer, So joyful boy's now, Here's god speed the plough, Long life and success to the farmer!!

where to start ???


Well where do i start, there seems to have been so much going on, and it's the horticultural show today, i've not entered anything but i'll go and look, then we are invited to eat all the produce that a very industrious friend of mine makes afterwards hmmmm................
The 2 wwoofers left yesterday, they where a real pleasure to have stay, and very helpful ,so helpful that when the weather was bad they painted the kitchen and made new curtains for the cupboards and cooked , they can come again anytime... they loved "le petite pois" and have left it spotless.. The first night in the village they had a lock in and couldn,t get over how friendly everyone was! The fact that they where two attractive single females helped in this mainly male village , I'm sure a lot more interest will now be shown in my visitors now that they realise they are not all going to be male !!
PIli pala has at last managed to join our ranks, she came here for a purple coo lesson, and it was the seperate logging on for blogging that had confused her, so hopefully she'll be a regular visitor now .....................
I still don't have a working camera so i can't post any new photos....
Honey the new greyhound as settled in really well she's lost a bit of weight, she hasnt quite learned that you can't only eat half of your dinner and save the rest till later, it will get eaten, needless to say TYE is looking very fat.....
Nell having seen group of people who'd trained there rescued dogs to do tricks and follow an assault course, as decided to do the same tyres and poles are littered every where, i wish the camera was working, Tye is looking seriously disgruntled and ethans developed a migraine and wants his room,, bens loving it and so's bud,. the lady greys are standing by watching, very aloof ,and sasha keeps running off with bits of the course! and refusing to bring them back!The photos an old one of nell and tye ........

  1. Hello Jo,

    Let me start by saying that the photo of the dog-training session is fabulous. Can dogs be taught to juggle?

    Just gazing past the training area out over that vista towards the horizon is so beautiful. Do you really get to see that every day?

    And then, you also get to travel to other sites of beauty? With entertaining company? Wow. Of course, you know that I am joking a bit, but that landscape just amazes me with every glimpse that I get!

    Have a great weekend. My week off is going wonderfully. In a few hours I will meet up with a dear friend for brunch and lots of talking. It is a glorious, cool day, and we may then go over the Lincoln Center to hear the afternoon free, out door concerts. Today's theme is folk music.

    Back to work tomorrow. Won't think about that now!
