Nachwuchs
Das Lämmerfoto ist von gestern, im Moment werden fast jeden Tag Lämmer geboren und Yan kehrt fast jede Nacht ein-zweimal zum Stall zurück um nach dem Rechten zu sehen.
Das Foto von Adele ist von letztem Jahr, die Ziegen werden im März bis Mai kleine bekommen, unter der Bedingung, dass der Bock wirklich seine Arbeit tut. Wir sind uns nicht ganz sicher.

Raymond
Raymond, Gaby's father died on All Saints day. He has been in hospital for a week or so and Gaby did not expect him to come home again. He seems to take it relatively well. We will miss the cheerful old man, always smiling, always smoking. The funeral though was the worst funeral that I ever went to. My parents called the church in Chapelle Voland Beerdigungskirche - funeral church, funerals is all that ever happens here. No regular service, no marriages or baptisms, only funerals for an aging population. A neighboor gave a short summary of Raymonds life (born at this date, went to this school, went to war, took over parents farm, etc). We could have said something more personal, just after this year that we have known Raymond. Since the french buy flowers for toissant for their deceised relatives, the cemetery was completely covered in flowers. Note the wooden cross. That is Raymond' s grave.

Tunnel II
A few weeks ago I bought a tunnel and set it up in the garden, that was a good testrun for the big tunnel that we finished putting up on sunday. The small one we could just assemble by hand standing on ladders. This one needed concrete foundations first and we had to put it up with a tractor. Took as a while to figure it out but then the tunnel went up quite quickly. Not something I want to do every day but very satisfying nevertheless and i am so happy to have these tunnels standing before the winter.
