In the post

Today in the post we received a DVD of the film we had a shot in back in the beginning of September last year. It's a documentary to commemorate the 1st World war. which throughout the four years of battle ten Averyonnaise families each day received the news of  relatives death in the trenches. That is a lot of lives lost.

 One family lived at La Singlarie, which is why we have a quick shot in it (not that i have watched it yet) and we have an invitation to the premiere! Sadly we will not be attending as its in Rodez and right in the middle of animal feeding time - not sure I could face a large screen of myself, bad enough looking in the mirror each morning. Our invite has gone to Alex down the road who will no doubt go along on our behalf, only hope he will wash and brush up and wear his finest attire for the event.

hopefully my french will be good enough to understand the commentary enough to give a small review soon.

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
