Morning darlings.
Our walkabout yesterday started on the North side. My favourite view of the barn.
After the milking Daisy and Queenie walk out to their new field. 
I let ut the Shush Sisters (this is Charlotte) and we went and visited Hairy MacLairy on the left and Mama on the right. You can see that Hairy has managed to shuck his harness again. I am thinking of renaming him Houdini. 
Such a sweet sheep. 
Minty on the left and her sisters Mia and Meadow are in the Rathouse paddock far far away from the ram. 
Pania, Tui and The Duke of Kupa are just about to be sprung cleaning up the pig food. 
In the evening we do everything all over again. 
John came home from work while I was milking and took a shot for you.
The day was once again deeply grey except for that tiny window of light in the late afternoon.
We are taking the pigs into their new winter quarters this morning for a try out. So Eldest son can see his work in action. Then it is onto firewood. As you know we heat with wood gathered from fallen trees. We need to get it all split and into the Wendy House all ready for this winter.
I have just slept in. I can’t remember doing that for a long time. So I am wooshing through these words. It is already dawn. So TonTon and I need to get out there and get busy. Daisy will be waiting.
Have a lovely day! Lets hope for some good autumnal light so I can really put the new camera through it paces.

Thank you for the farm tour. Lucky you to have so many loyal “family” members there
So glad to hear that you had a sleep in! I’m sure it is WELL deserved. Hairy obviously wants his good work to be done in secret. It’s so funny to think how he gets out of the harness (have we got a picture of the harness when it’s on?)
I was trying to work out what happened to Daisy’s head in the photo. It looks like she is wearing an eggbeater on her udder!
her head is behind a wall.. an awkward shot but ah well, thank fully that is not an eggbeater. i am sure there would be kicking then!! c
I feel an absolute and utter fake sitting in a comfortable armchair in my library [OK, waiting for a huge storm to burst, and we have had quite enough of those this spring 😦 !] and being able to walk around the farm with you and enjoy it so much! Just look around all the animals’ feet tho’ and am so happy all of your brood are not frustratingly subsisting on what is oft available in the Oz outback 🙂 ! SO much GREEN!!
I know Eha, your farmers have it so hard. The grass is great now out here. How lovely to be able to sit in your library to wait out a storm.. perfect positioning I think! c
Always love our walk-a-bouts on the farmy C. Lovely to see a shot of you for a change and how fabulous to have had a little sleep in. Have a super farmy day.

Celi, I love the way everyone keeps track of everything on your blog. I learn a great deal reading the comments. They are harvesting potatoes across the road. The farmers are happy. This time last year so much rain most of the potatoes simply rotted in the fields. When they finish harvesting we go out into the field and glean beautiful potatoes. Virginia
What an excellent way to get your own potatoes. mine were rubbish this year.. such a shame.. c
Enjoyed your blog. Nice pictures, too.
You are a darling yourself Celi! Thanks for the walkabout on the farmy – always an enjoyable experience seeing all the animals just as they are.
Really enjoyed your blog and the views of the farm. I really think Houdini will be an appropriate name for Hairy, but then again I am so use to Hairy. Have a great day, regards, James
