Raiders of the kitchen

I went to the local supper market this afternoon. It is one of those French chain ones and although new and small it never really has anything inspiring in it. While loosing the will to live a small pack of three toblerones caught my eye (I am rather partial to toblerone). In the trolley they jumped as Zumba classes resume tonight I thought I could just work a little harder.

Once home and cupboards replenished apart from the veg being left on the side (and chocolate bars) I went off to feed the animals. On returning to the house this is what I found.


Milo may be short and blind but obviously has no worries about his waist line. Not a chocolate bar in sight. Even worse Franklin had finished off the last slice of honey cake I had made from this months Delicious. mag. He had already stolen 1/4 of it while it was cooling on the rack the other day. This cake was part of a thank you to a neighbour. I managed to cut it in half (untouched end) and saved a tiny un slobbered slither, I wouldn't mind but he wouldn't of savoured it one gulp down his neck. Even worse he has an appointment with the diabetic clinic tomorrow. A day at the vets for him, I may make a cake and put it up very high.

Did they touch the carrots, leeks, cabbage or bananas no I guess dogs are just like humans avoiding the things that we know we should eat. Given a option I know what I would have.

Happy cattle

For five months the cattle have been eating hay twice a day but today was their time to go back to pasture, they were more than ready. With two loads in the trailer going to La Contie the rest, the naughty but nice ones stayed at La Singlarie. Calves are on green grass for the first time following the herds around. Now for Spring time jobs to get started - so much free time for farmer J. Fencing, tidying around the farm, getting machines ready for hay cutting, getting the gites gardens ready for Summer and a new bathroom to fit, his feet won't be touching the ground.

Rabbit proof fence

In the hope of not loosing anymore greenery in the veggie patch today was spent today taking down an old fence which was put up around eight years ago. As it had a few holes in it this could be where  the rabbits are getting through. On the other side of the fence a chicken run was constructed were table chickens grew to a really good weight until we got a batch that had been, what we think were contagious with Mareks disease. Subsequently we stopped using it for chickens putting a litter of pigs in the area to get them use to electric fencing (which they did). It has been left empty for around 18months now with Gorgon and the girls have made break trough's through it last year gaining access into the veggie patch but now there's a lot of weeds. On the other side of the veggie patch is another old holey fence which has now got the recycled one that was taken down put in front of it, new posts and a trench dug to lower the wire in, earthed up and stones put on top
