Well, what a busy day!! Yesterday we harvested the last of the carrots and red cabbage from the vegetable plot on my boyfriends croft. I made carrot cake and blanched the carrots, so today we decided to pickle some of the cabbages. We used pickling spices and malt vinegar and put the cabbage in 'Kilner' jars, we now need to give it time to marinate properly before it is ready to eat.

Half way through the pickling process we had a visit from a friend in the village, who had come to tell us that one of the cows had got stuck in a ditch... down tools and off we went!!!
Ruby was well and truly stuck!!
So we called for more help, not a man with a van, but a man with a digger!
Thankfully, with all of the help we managed to get Ruby out of the ditch, back to the croft and into the cattle shed....Phew!
Great work you lot!
