So taking it easy today. just doing the few things that absolutely have to be done (after work).  Like checking the animals, and moving the chick run. and picking the blackberries  – it’s been two days after all (picked over a kilo in 20 minutes), and it was very windy, gusty today, so we had to check out a fallen branch, (which the sheep were happily tucking into) and stake the sweetcorn that had fallen over. Thought we had better pick the apples off the other tree then, since they were being blown off. And pick a load of courgettes (and a small marrow that had escaped our notice), and the runner beans for tea (it has been two days after all ) then blanch and freeze the excess. And water the greenhouses, and pick the tomatoes…
