I was working Friday and Saturday at this weekend’s Kent Show. Got a few new members for CPRE and generally had a good time. Our stand was in the ‘eco-village‘ so we were surrounded by purveyors of rainwater butts and solar heating systems.

Unloading the lambs into their new home
This morning I was using the Landy for something that a Toyota Prius can’t do – move 40 ewes & lambs. I know as an environmentalist I’m not supposed to have a 4×4, but for once I’ve actually been doing something useful with it.
These are the Wye Community Farm stock that we’ve been grazing on one small paddock and we moved them over to another one before the grass ran out.
Not really much to do with us not buying new things other than it’s been really amazing being involved in a bit of part-time farming, to get an idea of where our food comes from and our much time and effort is involved.
