Day two

What a beautiful day!  Cold this morning but bright sun today.
Started cutting up some pallets for the spaga which heats the kitchen end of the house and we can cook in its oven and on its 2 hobs. Plenty of solar electric so have used the electric table saw.I have also worked on the new duck / goose house.
Had quite a surprise today when Wanda ,the magpie duck that as a duckling just wandered into the paddock,past all the animals and settled in the stable block,and has been with us now for 10 months. She did not come out of her sleeping quarters and I feared the worst.  But when I went in she was sat on 10 eggs!  Perfect for Yorkshire puddings.
I am a bit late today and Lola,one of the goats is asking to be milked so will have to go.
continuing our journey we got to the tunnel well in time for the first train of the day.
We did not reckon with customs. The gentleman came over and pulled us to one side because of the animals.He then asked us to empty the van,which had taken a good week to pack.  We pointed out the problems this would cause.  After some considerable time and Tasha baring her teeth, Tasha was our faithful German Shepherd.  In the end Tasha won the day!  And we made the train with a few minutes to spare.
To be continued ....
