Sorry I've been terrible with keeping up with the blog lately! It's been a busy time despite not being able to travel around, I've been trying to keep up with Etsy orders, making a few Christmas presents and trying to make sure we comply with the Poultry lock down!
We had a lovely Christmas day and the children feel at a perfect age for it, with them now being 4, 7 & 8, the magic is certainly there. They were super all day and my wife cooked an amazing Christmas lunch (using one of our ducks and one of our Indian Game Cockerels) which I then had to try to sleep off in the afternoon!
This is just a quick note to say thank you for still reading my blog and that it means a great deal to me to still have people commenting, it sometimes feels that blogs have died off lately so nice that I still can write things here and have them read by like minded people.
This next week I'll show you what I've made for presents (and my daughter made me) as well as my new design for a simple folding duck coop and an article I wrote for a preserving magazine.
Merry Christmas everyone! Although I know it's not been a normal Christmas I hope it's been an enjoyable one!
Sounds as if you have been really busy, children do make Christmas

DeleteMerry Christmas - and a happier New Year - to you, too! I read every post, and check most mornings to see if there is a new one. Keep it up, please!
ReplyDeleteI do think that folks under appreciate the labor of how writing a steady blog is. A fun whim to start, then it turns to work. I try to post at least once per month, but only when I have something to share. Steady wins the race! Good cheer from Oakdale Farm in the USA
And a merry Christmas to you!
DeleteAs for blogging its mad to think that this one has been going nearly 9 years and I've had my work one over a decade now! I've no regrets doing them,they've led to some good opportunities and I've met some lovely

DeleteMerry Christmas, Happy Boxing Day and I wish you and yours a Wonderful Blessed NEW YEAR! I love your blog, I may not comment often but do keep writing, as you say many have stopped. I am much more interested in what you have to say than just always looking at photos on other sites. I get to learn something new every time I read one. What someone values, what someone knows, how someone is doing giving me hope for all of us. Take care and Be SAFE from Iowa
ReplyDeleteThank you, that's a lovely message. I have no intentions of stopping, even if no one was reading as I love having a record of certain things, but great to know people do still read it.
