We thoroughly enjoyed having you to stay and thank you so much for the raspberries. The pigs are keeping me very busy but I am steadily getting the vegetable patch sorted. Steve and I are fine. I am so pleased to hear that Charlotte is doing well and can now crawl and talk. Take care and thanks for visiting and leaving a comment. Sara Hi Derek, Suzie and Charlotte,

Glad to hear the boar came through, obviously the extra time spent was well worth while. Sounds like you've got your hands full. Talked to Gran today, and she has told me you have taken on some extra work, I hope this isn't stopping you from getting the vege patch up and running. Hope all is well with Steve and you. Charlotte is growing up fast, she can say dad and is starting to crawl. It amazes me everyday how much she explores everything around her, she won't even sleep during the day because i think she might be missing out on life!!!! Drop us a line when you can Derek, Suzie and charlotte. Hi Sara

I'm sure you will end up being the winner!!! My Mom has always said "I WILL be the winner", when anything gave her a hard time! I learned it from her and I hope my daughter will learn it too, since we really always can be!!!

Even though I have had the flood I managed to grow some tomatoes, garlic, beetroot, leeks and courgettes this year so not too bad. Something to be proud of. Thanks for visiting and commenting.

Yes the weeds were helped by all the flood water. Thanks for your kind words of encouragement. I don't mind about the meme I think that I will link it to eight things about the farm.

Those weeds sneak in and proliferate if you turn your back for 5 minutes, and yours were encouraged by copious watering! Don't despair, I'm sure you'll get there. I hope you don't mind, I've tagged you with the 'Eight Things About Me' meme. Raised beds sound the way to go.

To be besieged by weeds is the gardener's daily lot, but to be flooded out seems like Divine Cruelty. Thankfully my soil is so porous it could swallow the Atlantic Ocean without flooding, but the weeds are a nightmare. Truth is, you'd have to be a civil servant to have enough hours in the day to keep them truly at bay, so the key is not to be too hard on yourself. So there's a bit of weed about. So what? Provided you grow some food to eat, doesn't matter. We aim for progress, not perfection! I’m so sorry, Sara.
