My mother died just over a week ago I never dreamed I would be able to go but
much to my amazement my kids presented me with a workable plan on Mother’s Day. Al and Bo are coming with me, so we have
three businesses and three families to sort out before we set off.
Luckily, we have
entered our slack period on the farm.
The goats are drying off as they get pregnant and only need once a day
milking by hand. The chickens have been amalgamated into two groups, and the
rains have cut out the need for watering.
Most of the fruit and summer vegetables have been harvested and
preserved and the winter crops are mostly planted.
Today I have been making the cheese, writing stuff Edd needs
to look after the permaculture students, paying bills, sending out invoices and
I am about to start cleaning the house.
Al has spent the week trying to deal with a computer problem that has
stopped him printing out plans and is sorting out who can care for his
dog. He is bringing Pip up to her
parents tonight so that they can look after her and help her with baby P. Indi is driving Bo and I to the airport
tomorrow where hopefully we will join up with Al. Indi and Edd are going to share looking after
Bo’s kids and doing school transport.
This is all pretty major, so I had better stop writing now
and get back to work.

It is amazing how the weather changes from summer to winter
so fast. It rained hard all night and
has continued with heavy rain all day. I
have lit the fires, dealt with some paper work and looked craft projects that
were abandoned when summer arrived. Edd
has gone off with Morgen to look for car parts so that he can repair the
vehicle he got after Ben hit a deer. Ben has got himself a large flash 4WD with
massive bull bars that looks pretty animal proof.
Last night Al stayed here so that he was in the right area
for a morning work appointment. It is
the first time he has visited since baby P was born. He has a friend staying this week who was
able to help Pip whilst he was away.
Indi and ben joined us and we all had a very jolly family
gathering. Edd came in last because he
went to a meeting about Montessori education given by the USA lady that was
here on Wednesday. What a busy life we
have!
