Another goat mating
Georgina, the youngest of our goats, was due to come into heat 10 days ago. It didn't happen. But yesterday she started to show the signs, lots of bleating and tail up (but not wagging). She was also taking an interest in Pinkie. So today, with the signs still showing, we took her to Field Farm where we took Geraldine in December. We have left her there with a billy for 2 days. Hopefully, the visit will result in a late spring birth.
Until 2009 I was working in London, UK, but I gave it up to pursue a life of self-sufficiency. My aim is to grow or forage for all my food, produce my own power and live a healthier and greener lifestyle. I left London to return to my home village of Sunniside, near Newcastle, in the North East of England. I have a couple of plots of land there as well as the garden of my house. Our village is a commuter area for Newcastle but we are surrounded by countryside which we use for picking wild foods. My mission in life is to show that it is possible to live well without destroying the planet in the process. I am also keen to ensure knowledge of historic recipes and cooking is kept alive. I regularly try out recipes from old cookbooks using the food we have grown. I make videos about our progress and about how to cook home-grown foods.
