The month of February ..first woofer, sausage making, Jonas's birthday

I made sausages with Aoife and Jo, Aoife had the machine and mincer. Jo supplied the herbs for Scarborough Fair sausages..parsley, rosemary and Thyme. We made 25 of them and also chorizo and pork ones.  We used pork from our own pig from the freezer.

 Our first woofer Susanna from Ohio working here with Thorben,finding our hedge again after a winter and mulching it. She lived with us for a week, and was a lovely guest to have stay. I learned new soups from her and also a great cake ..the winning heart and minds cake.
 Susanna also weeded our herb patch. We hope she may visit us again in the summer.

 Jonas's sixth birthday cake, a joint effort by myself and Steffen up after midnight doing it, it worked out well in the end.
