I got Bailey back yesterday: approximately 50kg of sausages (pork and apple, pork and leek and plain gluten-free), 10kg of minced pork and 4 leg joints! I had originally intended to get just sausages and mince, as older boars, especially those who have been used as working boars, have a very strong flavour which can [...]

Looking back at (a sunny) July 2008
I seem to have lost my blogging mojo so I thought I’d post some photos from last year, back when the sun was something warm, comforting and familiar, not a distant memory like it has been this July! Maybe August will see the sun return – and with it, my blogging inspiration!
