Farmers market Day

Off to farmers market in a mo. hopefully the bread man will have my cheese which he forgot last week and I was really looking forward to a little bit of Colston Basset.
I am really crss with myself this week as I have forotten to book the shearer and now it is getting rather close to the alpacas due dates to be putting them through any kind of stress, so have been on the phone trying to find someone we like and who can fit it in to the next couple of weeks. so stupid. also we are starting to act like expectant parents watching the girls every five minutes to check they are OK they think we have gone mad. I need to give them thier injections soon too so that's a job for next week, if I have got my dates right.
The web site is starting to get going now - I do not know what I have been doing for the past 3 months. I hope we will have it up and running for June, ready for when the babies arrive.
Talking of babies the moorhen babies are huge and eating all the bird food from the patio - they look like they have clown comedy feet when they strut around, I am sure they will trip over them.
The fruit trees are all in blossom now and wondering what they all are, know the plums, because we were told! and they all smell fabulous. The veg on the other hand is not doing so well as it has been so cold - another frost this morning, only beans seem to be surviving - better find recipes for bean chutney! The tomatoes which sould have been hardening off have been brought back in as they look not hard at all. Better luck with next lot. On the positive side the potatoes have eventually started to grow so we may have something to eat later in the year, the rabbist are certainly eating well.
The only thing that is growing is the grass so that got it's first cut yesterday along with the paddock, which looks loads better and can now actually be used for the girls to come into when they are due - so we have them near.
Two of our little bithches are on heat so been to vets to get a bitch spray which hope will stop smell and stop the dogs going mad and pestering them too much. Poor things.
Well joy of joy the sofas arrive today so may actually be able to sit comfortably tonight -I am stillconcerned about what they will look, as totally forgotten what we ordered. Also we have light! We can now see what we are eating when it gets dark as had lights fitted over the table in sun room - it is great, of course it means we have to eat really late now so we can use them!
Well must go now as got to get to market and be back in case the sofas arrive early - so excited! How sad are we?
