A rising ebullience...

For the last seven months I have been living away from my farm. In the mornings I've been commuting to the farm to do the day's work, then driving again in the evening to the mate's who's kindly shared his home with me. It's been a time of frustration, of living out of the back of my car, of forgetting things and having to drive to get them, of not being at the farm when I'm needed, when the ducks are eating the salad, or the tunnels are being scrapped by the wind, and there's been many days of having to finish up early due to rain, without the option of turning out later in the day to finish the job. 

And it's taken this long to work out all the difficult family stuff, amidst the sturm und drang, not to mention the lawyers and banks.

But at last, on Friday, the settlement went through, and I'll be moving back to the farm next week, on a tide of ebullience...in time to take hold of the garden as she rises strong to spring.

A picture of bucolic beauty - and judging by your photo you have even managed to level your land, at the expense of the surrounding farms.

We're all on a globe spinning in the infinity of space.....what is level, really?

Market day was coming to a close, you were loading up, we were after spuds - and you kindly gave us a handful for free:-)

Yippy! Maybe this is also one of the reasons for living in a small place, in a small way?

I'm sure that before we get our own garden set up, we will be back for more of your yummy spuds!

Much Thanks,

Glenn

Aaaahhhh Alex - is that Garlic or Leek in the background there ? Whatever it is, I can see daylight through it for heavens sake - do you have to keep setting the bar so impossibly high for the rest of us ?! My garlic beds currently have grass as tall as I am in it - I don't even know if the garlic is still there any more ! How about I leave the garlic growing to YOU from now and just admit defeat ? :)
