Organic Book Giveaway Winner

Hi everyone,

Thanks so much for your thoughtful answers on my giveaway post.  I drew the winner at random yesterday, but I wanted to put some photos in this post, so that delayed it a bit.

Congratulations Han_Ysic.  Please send me an email with your postal address.  I hope you enjoy the book (everyone else, look out for it at the library :))

I'm going to take a break from blogging over Christmas, so I hope you all have a good holiday.  We will be at the beach for a couple of days and then back at the farm working on a few projects.   See you again in January.....

In the meantime, you can review the year at Eight Acres through my review posts:

Everything else update

Thanks for all your comments and support through the year.

Cheers, Liz

I will leave you with some pics of our house cattle....

Miss Molly with her proper Jersey colours

and starting to form an udder

Romeo is changing colour from the eyes out (we had another steer who did this, very strange place to start)

and he is nearly as big as Bella, she has done a wonderful job as adoptive mother,
but she needs to remember to leave some milk for us too!

Compare to tiny little Molly at the same age in July last year!

poor little Benny is still tiny, I was hoping Bella would let him have a drink,
but no, that is for Romeo only

Frank must be getting hungry, he's eating a tree

Big D is in great condition, see his thick neck,
he's lost all his winter coat and is very sleek
