Late August and we help our good friends Ray and Kerry to pen some sheep and lambs for crutching and tailing.

They're so cute but, On goes the ring!

This little one is next, and I can feel both of our hearts are beating at a million miles an hour.   mmmm ah well, it must be done.

The winter months of June and July have been very dry so when August came around we decided not to risk having a dry spring and asked our friend Tim to come back and dig two new dams, this is the first one.  

We are not waiting any longer for the rain to come and begin pumping in from a nearby spring.

 It's late Autumn in 2020 and due to Covid our travel plans to the USA and Canada have been put on hold, so while everything goes into lock down, we discuss the possibility and pitfalls of building a green house with construction veterans Ray and Kerry Picket.
 

 Over a warm fire, a cold beer and tasty snacks Ray and Kerry give us some good advice about green house construction. 

 Now the work begins

 Foundation is done and dry and now the wall takes shape..

 Ray along his carpentry and power tools comes up for a couple of days to help with the roof.

 Nineteen days later and it's ready for occupation.

 

The rest of the veg garden had a bit of a face lift at the same time.

Barry seems to approve of the broad beans, lettuces, strawberries, spinach, and tomatoes that are all in and doing well, even in June.
