We are back on line after finding out that the farmer over the road nipped our telephone cable when ploughing his field. There are no fences around paddocks and cultivation continues right to the roadside. No long paddock here.
Living on a 100 hectare farm is providing many opportunities for us to be close and comfortable with nature.
Darby has a way with Baptista. He stands quietly while stones are removed from his hooves. Darb was disappointed with the progress of the vegetables so he made up a potient of donkey poo and the results are fantastic!
The cherries are coming into season much to the delight of the cherry eating dogs.
Other rural activities have included shooing away a swarm of bees betwen the shutters and the window. And a deer was killed at our entrance much to the delight of Zulu. So our resident butchers son chopped up what was left for the canines. Mind you a frenchman had already got out his hunting knife and taken the best bits.
So if you were thinking of applying for this job in 2010 make sure you've got the necessary qualifications.
I'm getting the hang of all this now. Your foto's are great. Max wants to know if Suzanne has a licence to drive the John Deere and to be aware that there are a lot of farm accidents, so be careful. Donkey looks good. House looks good. Everything looks good. Wish we were there. Take care Jeanne
