Hunger makes hard beans sweet

Here is Hamish helping pound wheat. It's hard work, and we can only do a small amount at a time, if we stick at it we might have a loaf for dinner, tomorrow!

My arms ache, not much, but enough to make pounding more challenging. I can only do a little bit at a time. Imagine doing this, day in, day out.

The boys are quietly doing stuff. Drawing reading etc. At least the arguing and composing has stopped.

So far we've made butter, ground a small amount of flour, started of the first batch of yoghurt, which will get strained for cheese. And the second batch will have strawberries added.

Tomorrow we will feast for sure!
