Love watching Lucy eating, she’s taking her time and enjoying it. Going to make that peanut sauce today , 🥰🙏🙏🙏. Finally a break from the relentless rain here at the bottom of England in Cornwall. Put my washing on the line four days ago and then it poured and poured for two days. But as you say it’s so much nicer dried outside. Thank you for recommending my newsletter. I hope you’re doing ok, spring will help us move easier with our loss. Will be three years on 25th! How is that possible. First substack feels like lifetime ago. Thank you again xxxx Jessica

It’s sweet feed grain pellets and beet pulp shreds.

I would love to, but I thought I lived in a rural area, I look like NYC compared to your community. Girl, you are out in the middle of nowhere. I looked at a map and I could not even figure out a way to get there. But I would so enjoy it. Thanks for the invite.

The shawl looks amazing and peanut sauce sounds delicious. Glad to hear it has been an uneventful week. Have a good Leap Day knitting and binge watching.

Wish I could be there for shearing day. I love doing stuff like that. Very jealous!

Opening windows, never. Well maybe on a cool morning with no wind. We get blasted by Kelly green pollen in the Spring. It is absolutely disgusting and thick enough to write in it. So opening windows not a smart idea. Then immediately the Southern Summer starts and believe me it is not the heat it is the humidity most of the time. Spun two pounds of your lovely top, and as I get better with my spinning, the more I admire your sheep. Enjoy your day and nice weather. I hope you get enough rain to save you from fires. Those scare me to death. I can bunker down for a hurricane, but Mother Nature rules fire. Hugs
