Life On Our Farm

A Sign of the Times (...or a Truck with no name!)

18/7/2014

0 Comments

 
We have two trucks on the farm. Myrtle, a 4 x 4 Tiger, so reliable and so solid in which we transport our valued guests….and then we have The Farm Truck, just a truck with no name! We heightened the suspension and put on bigger tyres so it can ford the river to reach the farm in the rainy season and it has seen excellent service over the past four years…and still looks like new!
Recently some folks from the village, who are very pleased that Thung Dong is located nearby, suggested that we at least advertise the farm web-site on the truck…it’s a good idea and we wonder why we didn’t think of it before! So we made an image on the computer of type-styles, colour (deep green or TDF orange) and settings and after consultations with our village friends to choose we have put the stickers on the truck. We think it looks great….and our friends from the village are so proud of their imaginative suggestion

From Egg to Greg!

This post is for someone special who has always had a soft spot for Geckos!!

About three weeks ago Joy was sweeping The Farm House and just as she was about to empty the pan into the bin she saw a tiny Gecko’s egg. Not that this is at all uncommon and we just leave them to hatch in their own time…but this little egg looked so vunerable that I put it into a small plastic container with a piece of foam for it to rest upon.

It has sat on my desk for the best part of two weeks and I was about to discard it when yesterday out the corner of my eye I saw the egg roll across the container, a minute later it did it again…within a few seconds this tiny head with very big eyes appeared, had a quick look around and then darted-off to behind the Buddha image on the wall!

Later, leaving some crumbs nearby, this little miracle of nature sneaked out from behind the Buddha for his first meal!

We call this little fellow Greg!....but as all the Gecko’s look identical they will all be called Greg in the future!
