I am sunburnt. OH is sunburnt. Cloud is looking very pink and the dogs are fast asleep, heat exhaustion. The chickens are laying like mad.
The summer has arrived with a vengence...long live the summer!
Tonight it was pork sausages and black pudding for tea. Not our own black pudding...but definitely our own sausages. Well, not quite. The farm shop at the end of our drive actually butchered our pigs and as we wanted sausages but they couldn't really spend the time sorting our individual meat out for them, we just got the equivalent weight, made up of our pork mixed with their's. Their sausages are very nice so we had no complaints.
They (the farm attached to the shop) were going to have a few pigs but apparently, although a delivery was made of several Tamworths, they escaped and caused mayhem so went back. The shop does stock more and more of their own meat and locally sourced meat. It is a highly successful venture. I buy my vegetables and occasional other products from them but use the co-operative food stores for as much as I can. I am on the co-operative area committee and am supportive of their fair trade and ethical stance, including those on farming and animal welfare, of course!!
Barbrqued lamb and pork for friends tomorrow.
