Sarah has a car! We've been looking for one for months, and finally settled on one that's the same model as Rachael's, and the same age as Sarah. It's a Hyundai Getz, and a rather nice cornflower blue. Sarah has been driving it as often as possible, and has been looking up decals in order to decorate it to the same level as Rachael's.

Only 12 lambs this year. We've been winding down the herd in order to move over to cows. It's not really economic; the wool costs more to shear than we get from selling it. And sheep need a bit more looking after than cows. Although the fences definitely need more looking after when the cows have been in!

There's 9 ducklings on our pond now, and they're getting big. They're also quite tame, and will get within two metres of me when I'm feeding them. Plus a few others that wait until I'm gone, and the two big muscovy ducks that come so close they've nearly ended up in the chicken coop.

Alas, we've just had to say goodbye to an old horse. We're left with just the one now. They were retired racehorses, running in the trotting races, and for several decades they've had the run of the farm, generally making their own decisions when someone foolishly opens a gate. It's the end of an era.
