Firstly apologies for being so slack on the blogging front! We have been busy doing all the usual stuff- gardening, watering, weeding, taking care (and taking out some) of the livestock, and soapmaking, cooking and working of course! 
I have been away to Norway for a few days which was a refreshing break while Paul took some days out to do some jobs in the house. The vegetable garden has been a bit of a disaster this year due to the poultry (especially the geese) finding their way in again and destroying alot of the salads (eating even the chillis!). 9 geese are now in the freezer along with 3 white ducks and bags and bags of tomato ragout!
Pigs are happy- and very vocal! and doing a great job of clearing the paddock- now they have cleared all the scrub they are heading 'down' to dig over the soil.
The gardens around the house are settling in- although it's a bit of a struggle to keep everything watered, so we've started installing some irrigation.

Lots of exciting projects for the autumn- including a new Portuguese soap range! More to follow :-)
