We are lucky in finding people to work with who know better than I do what I think I'm doing and without hesitation in telling me how to do it.<br /><br />I have been told not to put the vineyards back - too much work and the wine would be good but nothing special so I pop down to the o-operative and buy it nicely boxed-up with a tap on.<br /><br />Elby gave me a recipe once for venison, L, but of course I can't find it; perhaps he might have a moment to send it again as there is a lot of frozen bambi here (and boar if he has delicious ideas for that too). The local advice is a bit too heavy on the garlic, onions and tomato side. Spice and olde Englande would be more interesting.<br /><br />TT is in another league, and the other side of Florence, Nomad, so what he's got and what he wants to do with it will be different. I'm delighted to take delivery but I imagine he'd be horrified to have not sold the entire year's (and further) production some time ago.<br /><br />Still, this year I break even with the managed woodlands as well; thank you for the 'well done'.hatfield girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12673905475452420002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2956830097495837473.post-33114087722058715892010-11-22T06:08:17.715+00:002010-11-22T06:08:17.715+00:00Scrobs: I agree with you - it's oil right for ...Scrobs: I agree with you - it's oil right for some, innit!!<br /><br />HG: Good for you - well done.
