Property Closing and New Windows

Well after being away for a couple of months my camera is home again and in full use leading up to the big day.

Our purchase of the property across the road is now officially closed.

Windows and new door are in the house and Jerry is busy fixing up any framing and adding wall were there was not enough room for insulation.

We are lambing and already half the ewes have lambed. We have 140 lambs on the ground so far.

The girls are on holidays now so we have lots of cleaning and baking to do in preparation for Christmas. The school play was this week and sunday school puppet performance is tomorrow.
