Well we are all done and dusted with moving and settling in, the new farm is much bigger than our last one and requires both of us full time. In fact it is making a huge change in our social life already, we find we are too busy to do all the things we used to do and as of yet we don't know a lot of people in the area, but time will fix that no doubt.
We are a running a mixture of cattle, sheep, and deer, as well as winter crops, so its all hands to the wheel. Sadly it likely means between farm work, housework and home schooling the children I will have to give up my online job, I find I am struggling to meet schedules; its a shame because I very much enjoyed the work.
Jason has taken to the farm with great gusto, he has become quite a workaholic and I struggle to get him to stop and eat meals, and when he does its gulped down and off again. The girls are enjoying the life but miss their old friends, we had some come and stay for the weekend so that was a huge boost to their spirits.
There has been many changes in Bears circumstances, sadly with all the farm work and moving I lost contact with the Christchurch people, Bear was in hospital for 11 days and no one told me. He has had several large operations but has pulled through reasonably well. He and Linda split up as she is moving out to Rangiora to look after her sick parents so Bear is staying with Sandy for the moment.
He and Mal did not end up buying a house as Mal has moved up to the retreat out the back of Oxford, he has expanded that quite a lot, sadly he he still doesnt have a girl friend which is unbelievable considering he is a real looker, we do keep in contact with him most nights via radio/telephone.
Well that's all the news for now, I hope you are all doing well and taking care.
Love
Anne
