+ On Tuesday afternoon I went for a wander with the camera. I took this photo from the exact same spot that my banner was taken last year. The light is slightly different, but it is still beautiful! In another week or 2 all the trees will have sprouted too, just like the banner.
+ On Sunday we are marking all the merino lambs. In previous years it has been a long slog to mark them all, but this year we have less land and less sheep. Hopefully it will only take a couple of hours.
+ I did my grocery shopping for the month yesterday. One thing I am missing from the mountains is a good butcher, and fruit shop. The supermarket where I shop is nowhere near either, and I don’t even know if there is a fruit shop in town. I find that supermarket sausages are terrible, and that the range of meat available is limited. We are going to get another pig slaughtered soon, and I am considering getting a lamb done at the same time. At least I will know that the meat is a good quality.
+ I have been re watching season 1 of Downton Abbey, and am now desperate to get season 2 on DVD, and dying for season 3 to come on to tv. See all those italics!! I have had to content myself with watching some clips on youtube. Pathetic … much!
I know! *sigh*
Linking up with With Some Grace for fybf
ooo I loved season 1 and 2 so bring on season 3. Good to hear you enjoyed the last week of the holidays. Grocery shops ICK stopped in at the closest one on the way back to the station and fresh food was mostly missing from the shelves.
Thanks for sharing that clip Jo. Big big *sigh* alright! Can't wait. Love it.

Season 3 is good. Much better than 2.
Supermarket sausages are shocking aren't they? I try to avoid them but sometimes, there's just no other choice these days. Sometimes the butcher's quality isn't so good. You're blessed to be where you are 🙂
I always fantasise about living on a property like yours, then you go and ruin it with a comment like "On sunday we are marking all the merino lambs". Could I live on a property and just pay someone else to do the hard stuff?
fabulous week it sounds like!!!
