Same old, same old

I feel like I don't have anything to write about. Everything on the farm has just been ticking along without too much drama.

We've had lots of group bookings lately, leading up to Christmas. We accidentally triple booked ourselves one day (41 for morning tea, 37 for lunch, 24 for dinner - whoops!).

We've partnered with a florist in Bundaberg, who has purchased $150 worth of my jams to use in her gift hampers. (Good and bad - good that our goodies are spreading a little further, bad that I need to make a heap more to re-stock!)

We've bought some new winemaking equipment (Josh assures me that that's all he needs for a while now!)

We've made some new products. Firstly, a honey liqueur. We thought it was pretty awesome, but it's received some mixed reviews - "It tastes like alcoholic honey. I don't really like honey." Secondly, a black sapote port. (Black sapote is a mexican fruit, also known as a 'Chocolate Pudding fruit'. Doesn't really taste like chocolate pudding to me, but it goes ok as a port!).

We thought the pump for our irrigation was broken. Firstly, it kept shorting out the power. We fixed that, but now it keeps losing pressure. Josh reckons he's fixed that too now.

So, I guess what this all means is that I have finally settled into farm life! Everything just keeps on keeping on and it all just seems normal now!
