January, time to make cheese and blog!

We have a bit of extra time these days to sit by the fire and read all the good books we got for Christmas, and because the girls are all either newly pregnant or not quite yet, they are making us lots of milk and we no longer have to share it with the kids and calves. So I am back to experimenting and making my title of "best dirty dish maker" stick to me forever! So far they all taste pretty good too. we'll let some age (in the fridge, as the cold storage isn't quite cold enough) and try them again in a few months.

This is the most awesome picture ever painted of our place, painted by Valerian, a wwoofer extraordinaire!!! while he sat on the hill beside the pond with the electric fence all around him and goats coming up for a nibble every now and then:
