I cannot believe Stephen has actually burnt a pallet , a pallet of all things , has he got sun stroke . He's a very hard working guy and you make a lovely team together . Best wishes and thanks for sharing 😂

The ducks loved that refilled pond lol It looked like the same level excitement horses or cows display when they get back out on pasture after the winter 😂 Brilliant, so cute!

Tracy, Rhubarb and Strawberry stewed fruit is a good one too to have on the shelf if you have a few Strawberries you can add. Also adds a bit more colour to the fruit overall xx

Wow I watch these and think when do you sleep 😅, you all work so hard and it certainly shows. We turned off our furnace a few weeks ago and it was quite warm so of course took all the extra quilts off the bed and then it got stupidly cold 🥶. Now it’s up and down hot cold rain hot 🤦‍♀️. Rodney is having a good old time playing in the old shed area. I wondered if Steven would take down some of that tree 👍. Great update everyone 💪🏻💪🏻, have an awesome week, keep cool, Ali ☔️🌞🇨🇦

I’m not a lover of rhubarb and we have two huge plants on our small holding so I make it into BBQ sauce, sounds strange but it’s delicious. Recipe from the Balls Canning book.

Loved the fact that Steven built some handy sreps for the ducks to get into the water and they decided to jump in without using them😂 also very impressed with your openning of the feedbags I've never managed that.. any chance of lessons 😂😂😂😂

I wish we had some heat and sunshine in Scotland, not had any nice weather since 2 weeks in May 😢 I think that was our summer unfortunately. Lost my tomatoes due to no sunshine to develop the fruit

Amazing job with moving the shed, we’re just doing a similar thing and have got the poultry netting so it will be interesting to see if it works. Chicks are looking good too and loving Mama Hen. Also I’m making the rhubarb ice cream, but I’ll be eating it warm 😂 looks so good. Did you say you can mix the rhubarb into a cake mix? If you ever make it please film as I am a terrible cake maker, but that sounds incredible.

[@OurSmallholdingAdventure]

h I am having bother with replying for some reason, maybe you will get this a few times haha. The rhubarb can be used as the base of an "upside down" cake and the like, very easy. We normally have these in the autumn so I'll try to remember to film it :)

Omg Jack is a young man! When did that happen 😢

[@OurSmallholdingAdventure]

I know, he's almost as tall as Ste - one good thing about the videos is having it to look back on, memories :)

[@Mama-tea]
