Ecofarmer

re-settled in Hungary from Rochdale, Lancs, England, and into a little village, doing a bit of greenish farming hoping for a quiet life... but stuff just happens...

on line again ... for the time being...

new (to us) PC had the usual initial hiccups... maybe it will work now...
especially as in a month we're supposed to have broadband arriving
in Kiskassa. Camera still needs re-installing, so no new pictures.
So what happened in the last couple of weeks?
We had more backpackers, all nice and fairly tidy.
But no bookings for 3 days now - maybe this was all for the season...

The billygoat was becoming an annoying bully, so we ate it...
well, most of it is in the freezer - sorry, hope our vegetarian readers will forgive us... It was a bit traumatic, but we call ourselves a farm afterall!
One hen also expired, without us having a chance to eat it, I think it was the broody one, probably didn't get to the food and water - though I have to say
it didn't look particularily thin. No other hen deaths so far, so it wasn't birdflu... Pigs look big, and we wonder if the potbellies can grow more.
Conserved loads of tomatoes for savory paste (a la Ashley) and soup.
Tomorrow is Ujpetre's "village-day" with exhibition, and culture programs, if heat permits (it was 36C yoday) we'll go over, we might meet Molly on her way here - our first re-visiting wwoofer!! I look forward to seeing her with her tales of wwoofing in Russia and Poland and she'll cut my hair! Did a much better job than Csilla, the village hair-dresser,but keep quiet about this!
