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...

surprise surprise!!



we got an extra little goat - still a bit wobbly, but hope it'll make it. Delivered by white goat that was sold us by the same guy, who sold us the suspect sheep. We were told both goats might be pregnant, but we were skeptical - but looking at Bambi's enlarged teats just recently, I wondered - and there goes the other one. dropping this tiny thing this morning - its sibling was born dead a bit later. No picture until we are sure its a survivor. It looked very doubtful at first, but Alan reported (I travelled to Budapest with my sister for a few more days with my mother) that little wobbly managed to stand up and suckle from those suspect 3 small teats of small white mother goat. Very unusual, and reason for Alan's suspicion that we were cheated. Bambi is much bigger, and we expect more and stronger arrivals any time now... no pictures until all is sure! Keep our fingers crossed for milk and cheese again! We have 2 small pieces left from the last lot being now about 9 month old, smelling like old parmesan and very good grated.
Maybe there are new mutant mosquitoes here in Budapest - ones without making noise, I am definitely bitten by something here, typing away on little Kifli on the balcony at my mum's.
Instead of little goat pictures you get the drawings of my aunt Edit, about her grandparens - my greatgrandparents, who owned a little grocery shop in Budapest. Grandad is doing a house delivery.
