Beautiful day after a very frosty start - lambing has started on my sons farm - forecast is for snow a bit higher up but they have a lot of shelters and coats plus a big porch off the back of the house that becomes a nursery for lambs in need -their adopted boy and his ever close by Labrador is like a rescue worker he keeps a very close eye out for a lamb in need as he loves feeding them - it’s a very therapeutic lifestyle for a little boy with such a rough start - one of the real risks is he has no empathy
Kiwimade - your concern that the kids in Taupo needed to ensure they had a life would have struck a cord with my old boy - one of his oft used sayings to both kids was -Not to forget to stop and smell the roses their is no point being the richest bloke in the cemetery. I road tested some new brand eggs at the supermarket $10.99 for a tray of 20 on special maybe $16 - free range best eggs I have had for ages probably better than my sons free range from the farm

Hunni if the cruise plan does come to fruition sounds great - I went on a 5 day cruise to Tasmania - throughly enjoyed it - but wouldn’t have wanted to be any longer
When we went to Bathurst both the cat and dog had to be chipped - but there was no annual registration- it was $30 for life so we thought that was great .The cat had to be contained in the area we lived in - which I didn’t mind as I was terrified he would try and find his way back to Taupo
