Oh dear. A visit to the rare breeds auction on Saturday left me reeling. No belted galloway or white park heifer for us! A beltie was withdrawn when bidding failed to reach over 1200 guineas. A smallholding friend was there to bid for some weaners...the saddlebacks went at 60 guineas each. Our rare breed crosses cost us £35 for weaners. If you are going to eat them, it seems pointless paying for the registration certificate.
Now, today we have had some rain at last. This evening is mild and sunny but alas, I am back to work and am busy doing the administration my job demands. (home based)
So, a short entry.
Don't forget to weed your garden every day though. They are sprouting every minute. My bug bear is the dreaded mare's tail. This will not be weeded or even killed. No wonder it is the longest surviving weed since pre-history! (pic, they are the spikes sticking up. I'll show you a full grown one later in the year)
