Le Charcutier Anglais: February 2013

Thursday, 21 February 2013. What is Colonial Goose I hear you say? In order to get a silky brown colour to the joint, it would be marinaded in red wine thus taking on the rich colour of a real goose. Personally I would cure my joint in salt for at least 3 weeks before butchering and stuffing as this imitates the goose better than just using a wine marinade. Try it and let me know what you think guys. Posted by Marc Frederic. Tuesday, 19 February 2013. Some tools designed purposely for a task, accidently ...

Mrs Woolsack's Blog: Season of mists, mellow fruitfulness and unsolicited calls
http://mrswoolsack.blogspot.com/2014/09/season-of-mists-mellow-fruitfulness-and.html
Wednesday, 17 September 2014. Season of mists, mellow fruitfulness and unsolicited calls. First the mellow fruitfulness - we seem to have gone from summer to autumn overnight. One of the joys of moving to Orkney has been a lack of unsolicited phone calls. In Newcastle, despite being registered with TPS. Anyway, having pressed option 5 yesterday to get through to a human so that I could tell them we were registered with TPS and should be removed from their mailing list immediately, today it was gloves off...

Mrs Woolsack's Blog: Looking Forward - changes to the Woolsack website
http://mrswoolsack.blogspot.com/2015/01/looking-forward-changes-to-woolsack.html
Monday, 19 January 2015. Looking Forward - changes to the Woolsack website. I can now sit at the laptop without 'that list' looming over me. When people contact me about their British wool products then they get onto the website much quicker - I'm getting into a good routine now of a weekly session of updating, which gives a good balance between speed of responding to email requests and the most efficient use of my time. There are also a couple of new pages - the Events page. British wool product. Th...

Mrs Woolsack's Blog: November 2012
http://mrswoolsack.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Friday, 30 November 2012. The Boreray Project part 1 - Discovering the Fleece. Boreray sheep are the UK's rarest sheep breed. They are classified by the RBST as critically endangered. So why have these sheep been a presence in my life over the past 2 years that is second only to Woolsack? Well actually, the person to blame is Felicity Ford. Felix on Ravelry) and I'm pretty sure she's forgotten a post. She made in the Blacker and Beyond with FFSB group. That I help to run on Ravelry. Sheep of St Kilda.

Mrs Woolsack's Blog: A Rare Moment With A Rare Sheep - The Birth of Twin Lambs
http://mrswoolsack.blogspot.com/2015/05/a-rare-moment-with-rare-sheep-birth-of.html
Saturday, 16 May 2015. A Rare Moment With A Rare Sheep - The Birth of Twin Lambs. Today we witnessed something rather special. One of our Boreray ewes gave birth to twins and we were able to watch it from a distance. Zelda was born in 2011 and this was her 3rd lambing. I think she has only given birth to singletons before, but she seemed fully in control of the situation. You can just see the bag of fluid under her tail above. Bag has burst and membranes visible. A minute or so of pushing and the lamb ca...

Mrs Woolsack's Blog: Looking Back
http://mrswoolsack.blogspot.com/2014/12/looking-back.html
Wednesday, 31 December 2014. 2014 has been a year of learning and experiences, but one where time became most valued. We've had births and we've had death. I'm sure someone has eloquently written a quote about the times when you have most going on to blog about, are the times when you have least time to do it. But I'm sure you get the picture. However I've no regrets, and despite the considerable physical challenges and having to learn so much ( not least farm paperwork! Orkney is a pretty magical place&...
