Continued from Monday 13 April

Hi there dear Blogger friends. Obviously everyone in the world is using the Internet these days under Lockdown. I hope to get this post (a continuation from Monday) completed before it cuts out again.

It's taken me five days to reconnect. Ergh! 

Thanks for all your comments, especially about the Hot Cross Buns. And Mary, while these are not calorie free, they are more "legal" than the store bought ones. 


I mentioned a baby [calf]. And here it comes. This was the smallest calf to be born since I moved in at the farm more than two years ago. When I took the photo, it was already three days old; it had had sufficient colostrum from its mother and was drinking milk from a container already. 
The littlest calf on the farm! 

He was moved to the calf nursery where he has shelter, the company of the other calves and a personal milkmaid who makes sure all the babies are fed mother's milk.

Drink up now! 

As for the weather - it is beautiful this time of the year. Obviously the last of a Indian Summer, and I'm enjoying spending all day out on the veranda where I have my outdoor office. 
Missy, one of the office assistants! 

TO EVERYONE OUT THERE IN THE BIG WIDE WORLD, I TRUST YOU ARE SAFE AND PRAY YOU STAY WELL

  1. love your lounging assistant! and that new calf is soooooooooooo precious. I was about to say I would love taking care of them, but then realized he will soon be food and that part I would not like

  2. Sigh on the connectivity issues.
    Aww at the calf, and hooray for an inviting office - even if it seems that others have also claimed it.
