Life is back to normal after a hectic few days. When doing the Christmas shopping I came across a gammon joint reduced to £2.50. I froze it and last week saw us having gammon in many recipes. This was my favourite - just chopped and cooked spare veg sandwiched between gammon and potatoes with a Quark cooking sauce for good measure.
The hens are still enjoying the comfort of their hen house as the "lock - up" regime is still in operation. They have an enclosed run leading out from the shed but as the weather has been so cold Bev is being quite maternal and staying inside - chicks (now fully grown) preferring to do as she does.
The farm to the back of our house has now its own maternity unit. New born lambs appearing regularly.
2017 is off to a good start - lots in the pipeline with our very first Burns Night this Saturday, 21st. Watch this space!
Those lambs are exquisite.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos, especially the chicken popping its head out lol
ReplyDeleteLove this post.... I had to look up what a gammon was (thought it was a bird of some kind) and the recipe is like my Mum's, Ham and Scalloped Potatoes. so good on a cold day.
ReplyDeleteLove the chicken head popping up from the basket !
