A Double Header

This is Chapter 2 of a long catchup blog.

Louisa's brother Chris and his wife Kerry (our photographer) came up for the first 4 days of shearing to shoot a DVD of shearing... Here they are shooting a few seconds of footage in the shed the night before it all began. (Col can be seen ducking out of the way.)


This is the first wool ever sent to market under the label Carbon Credited. We are launching this brand to signify that we have entered into a program to reduce our emissions and to sequester carbon by our land management techniques. We used an old Australian Greenhouse Office (AGO) calculator to discover what out emissions are: mainly methane from the sheeps' rumens. And we have applied to join the AGO's Greenhouse Challenge to join more than 700 other Australian companies who have embarked on the journey towards "neutral".



This is a photo of Brodie taken by Xavier. He borrows the camera and I find photos of the floor and the walls and people without heads... Such joyfull photos. I should do an album for him.



Like this shot of the window. Nothing less that capturing the artistic beauty of the mundane.


Spring means jonquills (spelling?) popping up around the garden. Mary Bird, who lived here for many years, had the most spectacular garden. And we have the remnants of it. We'd love to have the time to recreate it.x


No it's not a new dance. Louisa is demonstrating to the film crew and director of our shearing at Uamby DVD what will happen once the day starts and the wool starts flying. (She'll kill me for this. But I've got some other photos I could have used.) Daniel has a new dog - Kodie. I'll photograph her tomorrow.

8 because I found some experiences which I do not wish strangers to know, and which I could not relate without serious http://www.jouqoech.info/?search=autohaus damage to important considerations.. To the dream work has been transferred that bewilderment which its product, the http://www.jouqoech.info/?search=hlen+sie+selbst+n+spax dream, has aroused in us...
