So the back and forth has begun on the purchase of the castle. There's still no guarantee we'll get it but there is certainly a good chance, one can dream after all. What is it they say? Reach for the stars and even if you miss you'll land on the moon? I do believe that applies in this case. When we went to visit the moment I saw it it was like going home. I grew up on a very special property which for various reasons has been ruined for me and to find a place that feels like home is a wonderful thing.
Anyway I'm back home now but one other thing we did in Armidale is go hunting for a decent produce store. I was extremely happy to find one that not only has the complete range of mitavite but also stocks barastoc as well, so I'm off to do some reading on those. They also stock ivermectin which is like Alleluia, god knows why but the stores down here don't stock the stuff.
In other piggy news there is a double show on the 11th that I'll be going to. I'm picking up Pigs Isn't Pigs by Wynne Eecen, Piggy Potions by Peter Gurney and a couple of other books to add to my library. I may also be meeting a little roan sow who may become my first acquisition. She's a little runt who'll need special care but what can I say? I'm a softy and it's those special needs animals that often become the most amazing pets you'll ever own.
