We had to go over to Australind on Boxing Day, so decided to make it a nice family outing and take the kids and the dogs to the dog beach at Bunbury. Bolt slept the whole trip, while poor baby Zeke cried most of the way until he chucked up …
Well here it is the day before Christmas Eve, this year has seemed to simultaneously stretch for eternity *and* move at warp speed…some days the contradiction really plays with your mind! I’m not sure if I can even remember what I wanted to write about since my last post… Settlement …
The puppies Bolt and Zeke are growing every week and our little pack of four are loving life on the farm. Its amazing how brown the pasture has got in just a few short weeks.

The chickens have settled in really well since the move, but haven’t started laying again and we are all missing fresh free range eggs. I really didn’t want to go down the baby chicken route again (seeing as our success ratio of pullets to roosters is far less than 50%!) …
