We now have two young trained chefs here to stay for a month. Immediately my dusty kitchen got switched back into gear. Although we have been eating well, with all the lack of sleep I really think I have been flying at half speed. And now I have three workers, (though Nick will be away for a few days), our two new resident farmers love to cook and thanks to the pig rescue I am getting to sleep through the night.
Plus another girl coming on Sunday. My favourite number: LOTS.
Things are a lot quieter though without the plonkers. They left the day before yesterday. The same day as Lurch and Winston but they were gently thanked as they loaded. So the work-load has dropped dramatically for a while. Also this leaves my young chefs with a lot of milk to use and they are excited. The pigs I am raising as plonkers from Molly’s Mob will not be drinking too much for a while so I am looking forward to seeing the young people experiment with good volumes of milk.
The hay is down and now we wait and hope it dries in time. At least the humidity has dropped.
I am keeping this short for a few days while I collect myself and orient our new workers.\
I will continue to put the link for the T Shirt fundraiser at the bottom of the blog until the campaign is finished (in a week). Lurch has been exercising his legs in a bath and his wheelchair comes tomorrow. And Winnie has been very entertaining and using the litter box like a pro. (They don’t sound like pigs do they!?)
Have a lovely day
Love celi

This is most wonderful news, Celi: Your sleep, the pigs, your chefs, and the hay. Yeeeee haaawww! Go gettum, girlfriend!! Much love, Your Gayle
Phew… I bet you are pleased to have moved on from events of the past few weeks. Happy to hear that Lurch & Winnie not only will be assisted to rehabilitate but will go on to assist others also 🐽
Hey Celi I’m so pleased things have eased up for you. And Lurch sounds like she is in good hands. Wonderful pics Miss ..
I feel the calm… with a touch of uncertainty about the hay. Your life so much like mine. Such happy news of Lurch and Winnie.
