September, October & November

Okay so it's a 3 in 1 diary this time, so here goes.................

September was quiet Trace spent most of the time sorting out the animals while Steve was at work and bringing home wood for our winter fuel of which all got cut up and is now (November) in use. We got the Jeep back on the 30th September but alas still not fixed.

October 1st we stopped smoking (it's now 61 days without it's also the longest we have lasted) 5th Tracy started to make the Christmas cakes, jam, pies and soups (getting the freezer stocked up for winter). The hens have stopped laying, they have all started to moult but we do still get a duck egg everyday. The last week in October saw the worst so far of the winter weather and the garaged flooded a wee bit there was also gales for the rest of the month which carried on until November.

26th October we bought an 1981 Series3 LPG converted Land Rover......here it is

Birthday wishes went out to Tracy's auntie Mave for the 31st October also Birthday boy Steve on the 3rd November.

It was a good start to November with snow showers and gales which have been with us for most of the month (gales) with some very cold and frosty days (looks like a bad winter then). The rest of November was spent chopping tree trunks up that Steve had got from a guy at work.....there's one thing if we get snowed in and have power cuts at least we'll have the fire to keep us warm. Tracy also fixed the henhuts on the good days and I have also been decorating the kitchen when my hands let me that is.

Right folks that's it, not a lot gone on but at least i got this up to date. Just one last thing before i get off.......keep a look out for the step by step recipe pages which are in the making.

See you all in December
