Several things to report. We lost our lovely hens to foxes. They left a real mess too. Poor darlings. Nature can be so cruel sometimes.

The farm is finally going up for sale. Its taken us years to get to this point. Will put up a link when the agents have devised a potfolio. Not sure how much it is going up for. That remains a mystery. Hopefully it will sell quick and we can all get get on with our lives. So will be asking for a realistic price for a quick sale.

Matthew finally leaves school next Friday at the grand old age of 19. He is hoping to start a college course in catering at Thomas Danby. He loves cooking and is very good at it too. Matthew as learning difficulties but was 'good enough' to get onto a intermediate level course (pre level one). Avoiding the adult life skills courses for adults with learning difficulties. I think he is ready for a new challenge.
