... for the first of the month, and no returns! Only 2 more days until the beginning of June, and I get a wicked sense of enjoyment out of catching the kids out on the first day. Usually they take off down the hall, or try to get me back before I have finished reciting the rhyme. I've got them 3 months in a row now, so on Sunday will be trying for a quadruple hat trick!
Once again time has taken off on us here at Te Horo. Paul and I have been travelling alot, mainly domestic, and mainly to Auckland for business. Winter is upon us, and its starting to get very chilly in the morning (and very hard to get out of bed!).

We have a new addition to the farm, a rooster I bought (not intending to - you know how it happens!) at the Smallholders Field Day last weekend. He is a rare English breed, so I couldn't pass up the opportunity of having him. The challenge was finding a suitable name for him, and Paul and the girls had great fun coming up with snappy names around his breed (- Dorking). Some examples - Dork, the Dorster. Dorkington, and the resounding favourite - the Dorkmeister.
As a sensible Mum I had to put a damper on all that frivolity, and in line with other animals we have on the farm with heroic names (i.e. Hercules the ram), the rooster is now known as Spartacus.
Laugh away...
Here are some of our salamis curing nicely.
