I just checked it and it is very good as usual .We have been eating lots. yum.Thanks.
I'm having a busy year in a good way so far . You ?

We are now flat out harvesting garlic and onions that should have been done weeks ago and the anuanl bed planting is way behind too. We have just been delivered of a calf after a break of some months and I am getting back into practice with milking.I will be coming to Melbourne next week to do a two day course with David Holmgren and am hoping to get some r & r after that. It sounds a bit extreme when I write it down but it is definatly all good and we are getting the oportunities we are looking for and it is a great life.
Thanks for caring

Thanks for the note G man - I have been extremely busy lately. I have been lurking when I get a chance but have had little time for considered responses. The PDC was full on and coincided with my daughter loosing her house and her, her partne and three kids came to stay in the same week as we had people live in for the PDC and then Kates mum passed away in the middle of all this and rye grass has hit me hard this year and I have been unwell and we did the "Living Smart festival last Saturday with a workshop and two interviews for radio then home to do animals and out to give an after dinner speech to Permaculture Sydney the host the same group the next day for a farm tour and morning tea.

Just a note to send my regards Grahame. Please remember that your focus will be on the important things in your life. The garden may wait till the girls are married or better still till they can truly help you.
It's all good and especially the achievement in front of you.
regards Mark

Thank you.
It meant a lot

before you kark it,,,we have a need for you,,,c'mon 'G',,, back on your bike bro....come next door...we offer excitement, adventure and really wild times....i 'm not permitted to tell you to much....'but something wonderful is happening,,,something extraordinary'.

when the membership cracks '18',,,you'll want to be part of it,,,,this is very difficult for me,,,something wonderful is about to happen.

We are mainly just purplepear or pp farm these days and it may be that we need to be certified to use the word "organic" soon when the domestic standards come out. Or we may certify too.

I love the avatar Grahame - it is you!
