The house has gone completely and the builders have begun to mark ready to begin digging. We have yet again encountered a problem again. The electric pole has two wire braces and one of them is right in the way and needs to be moved before the foundations can be dug. We were very upset as we had discussed this with the architect when he was drawing the plans and we thought he had measured up and made sure this would not be a problem, hence one step forward and two steps back. Unfortunately it doesn't look as if Geoff's dad will be able to make the move with us as he is very unwell and the outlook is not good for him.
One of the Saddleback pigs has farrowed and we now have three piglets. She had four but one died shortly after birth. The other pig is due to farrow in March.
We have four chicks hatched out and four more should hatch within the next couple of days.
