...and so that's how Grace Kelly came to live at our farm

This morning Penelope gave birth to Grace Kelly. Although the dodgy camera photo does her no justice, Grace Kelly is what they call a light fawn. Not white, not brown, I'm sure you get the idea.

We were trying to reproduce Penelope's luscious colours but the black male we were trying to mate her with wasn't producing strong swimmers (and he died a few months later). We switched to a light fawn male and the result 12 months later is Grace Kelly.

Welcome Grace Kelly.

 Hi Craige, I've just been reading a few pages of your blog and enjoying it very much. You're living the life I would love to lead! Will just content myself with doing it vicariously for now. I've got my garden patch here in the city  - had a great harvest of beetroot last week, and am looking forward to tomatoes, pumpkins, okra and other delights this summer.Cheers! Trini

Thanks Trini. Would you believe we haven't got a vege patch yet? (although we do have a small garlic patch) We'll have to live vicariously through your vege patch :)
