Milking Goat.....

We have a new addition to the family.

Her name is Cherry and she is the sweetest goat ever. Over the years we 

have had a lot of goats, but Cherry is my favorite.

We choose to get a milking goat over a cow because they will eat any thing and we don't need as much room to keep a goat as you do a cow.

We don't buy any dairy now as we have milk and make our yogurt and cheese.

Cherve cheese is a goats milk cheese, it is a soft cheese and 

we flavor it to how we are feeling that day. This is the amount we get from 

2 litres.

 

I use the whey in my bread making, it gives a lovely cheesy taste.

We don't eat a lot of bread so I make cheese and bread twice a week. 

I wish I was better at making sour dough bread but I'm not so I have 

gone back to dry yeast.

 

The small loaves I use in the Airbnb for our guests, they 

love fresh bread.

below is the tray of breakfast goodies for our guests breakfast,

I also use the milk in my soap making..

I have been busy making dish cloths and washers as gifts as I was running low.

 Enjoy your week

Blogging...Is it still a thing????

 It has been a very long time since I blogged and I am not even going to try to catch you up...

I see a lot of the blogs I used to read are like me and have not posted for years,

are blogs a thing of the past?????

I started mine in 2008 and often look back to a time past. 

Has Instagram and twitter taken the place of blogs, is there still a place for

blogs....I think there is. I know I enjoy reading them...

My life has certainly changed in many ways over the years and in some ways 

stayed the same. I still make soap, grow my own veges and continue to live a sustainable life as possible.

If any one is still out there drop by and say hello and tell me if you still enjoying blogging....

I am going to continue to blog and read your blogs...
