Where have we been? We will catch you up fast!

Apologies all; Heather restricted Bodie's Internet access and the Blog suffered!  We left you last with our good mates the Warnes visiting us from Axedale.  Since then we've all aged: Brendan turned 8, Madison 11, Cameron 5, Heather 37 and Bodie 33!  Actually, Heather has been recovering from back surgery and Bodie had a cavity filled, but he is doing much better now.

To our repertoire, we added goats, chooks and sheep to our farm this year....as well as the annual sacrificial hogs (as opposed to Hawthorn and Carlton, this year they were aptly named Bacon and Sausage). So, we butchered sheep and pigs this year.  Quite a bountiful harvest (over 300 kilos for the lot)

Hopefully the next few pix will bring you up to speed with what we have been doing, rightly and wrongly! Talk to all soon.......the Shaws! We also had a very fresh -22 last week......wish all were here!
