Just can't believe how quickly Christmas has come round this year! Very lucky to have the family out with us this year- so preparations started early -making the Christmas Cake and mincemeat, and preparing for a pig to be dispatched and birds to be plucked! The boys were in charge of all the meat- they boned and prepared 7 birds - a pair of quails, inside a bantam cockerel, inside a duck, inside a guinea fowl, inside a goose, inside a turkey!
The wild boar/ Iberian black pig has been a great success and made the best sausages and bacon ever!
We've also had the underfloor heating installed and next layer of concrete poured so it has made for the warmest and most comfortable Christmas here yet- every year we progress a little bit more!
