Feelin' Broody!

As promised in my previous post, we headed out to a farm nestled amongst some of the regions finest wineries and picked our own fruit. By heading out of Nelson we paid much less for our fruit - paying $6 (less than 3 quid) for about 3 kilos of juicy Boysenberries! As I type, a huge pan of Boysenberry Jam is boiling away behind me!



Here's B (and bump!) at the farm:



We then drove to another farm and bought 6 fertile eggs tio put under our broody bantam. On the farm were aviary birds, peacocks, chickens of all shapes and sizes as well as large rabbits - I asked if I could buy one to eat and to my surprise she said people do buy them for that purpose - they're just a bit too expensive for that!

Here's Bernie, relaxing in the evening with a very comfortable Bobby who loves curling up on the floor, a chair or on the bean bag with either of us - he only has 3 months of so much attention left!



I finally finished the nursery off this morning! Some might say its tacky, but we like it - we're a bit nervous to start painting fish and birds though... we're no artists!


Bernie has been going to aqua natal classes - aerobics in the pool for mums-to-be. We have our first ante natal class this evening too, which is very exciting. A bit more tiredness and aches and pains for Bernie, but she's still keeping pretty busy - I nag her constantly to sit down, but you know what she's like!
Ciao for now,
C&B
