We have had a very busy few days out here, cleaning up sheep and drenching the stock. The girls have been busy mothering lambs and baby alpacas, they certainly have taken to being country girls.
I watched them just the other day wandering back from feeding some orphan lambs, buckets and bottles in hand, scruffy jeans and pink gumboots, I just cant help but wonder where my city girls went. They are growing up so quickly it is almost scary.
We had Michele and her new boyfriend over for tea last night, Neil is a really neat guy and is the son of a neighbour so it keeps it all nice and cozy. Neil has been helping Michele make some changes to Michele's place (Bears old farm) and he has made an awesome job of extending an all round veranda.
The Gardens next door have taken a slight step backwards as the officialdom is creating havoc with the timetable, its really frustrating and annoying for the guys and girls over there. The Gardens themselves are beautiful and will look even better around Xmas - new year time. It is such a shame that rules and regulations are holding back such a wonderful project.
Speaking of Xmas we are putting on a large Xmas dinner and party for family and friends, then we are taking a break away down in Queenstown, we will be meeting up with Bear down there who is taking a few days off with Mal to explore the Queenstown region.
Ohh curses I forgot to mention, Mal is back to live, currently he is staying with Speedi and stays at the lodge a lot, he seems to spend all his time working up there. I haven't been up to the lodge for sometime but I am told progress up there is going well.
Well apart from the work on the farm the girls and I have been avid gardeners, and yes we are even eating out of said garden, but of course it also helps that across the fence some very nice friends have planted acres of vegetables.
Well I must away, Jas is coming in for a cuppa.
Love to you all.
